Sometime ago I said glutathione (GSH) is an essential health “A.I.D.” Doctor’s have known about glutathione’s detoxifying role, the “D” in A.I.D., since the 1970’s. Emergency room doctors have long used glutathione (GSH) promoting drugs like NAC (n-acetyl-cysteine) to detoxify patients with certain drug overdoses such as acetaminophen.
New discoveries, thanks to growing interest in glutathione (GSH), have shown that the liver and kidney contain the highest levels of glutathione (GSH). These two organs are the most important organs for detoxification within your body.
You may be thinking, “I’m a healthy person, I don’t have any addictions. Why should I care about detoxification?”
Sadly our modern world produces thousands of toxins that get into the air, your food and your water. You can’t avoid them. Your home is not even the safe haven you may think; the carpet, cleaning products, cooking fumes and the fireplace release toxins into the environment.
Your body has defensive systems but they naturally weaken as you age. Also...you live a hectic life, leading you to fall into unhealthy habits which further weaken your biological systems.
On a positive note...it has been discovered that physically fit people have high glutathione (GSH) levels in their livers. This leaves the liver better able to handle the presence of toxins and detoxify the body.
We’ll look at some other sources of toxic threats next time.
