Tips for Boosting Glutathione Levels in your body... 👇

Below are my top tips for boosting glutathione levels.

Eat sulfur-rich foods. Glutathione contains a sulfur chemical group, which is kind of like its secret weapon. Sulfur is a sticky, smelly molecule that acts like flypaper in the body—all the bad things stick to it, including free radicals and toxins like mercury and other heavy metals. The main sources of sulfur-rich foods are cruciferous vegetables and allium vegetables like onions, garlic, shallots, and leeks.

Pro-tip: Crush or chop vegetables to activate their glucosinolates, the bioactive molecules that increase glutathione enzyme activity. Stick to steaming or eating raw for maximum benefits.

Eat selenium-rich foods. We need selenium to power glutathione peroxidase (GPX), the enzyme that removes free radicals inside the cell. A study in The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition found that eating two Brazil nuts, one of the richest sources of selenium, a day was enough to increase GPX.

Eat foods that contain B vitamins. We need riboflavin (B2) to power glutathione reductase (GR), the enzyme responsible for recycling glutathione. Grass-fed meats, pasture-raised eggs, chicken, wild-caught salmon, and leafy greens are excellent sources.

Antioxidants. Vitamin C and vitamin E are also involved in recycling glutathione. Leafy greens, citrus fruits, and kiwi are excellent sources of vitamin C. Nuts, seeds, and avocado contain vitamin E.

N-acetyl-cysteine. Cysteine is the rate-limiting amino acid needed to make glutathione. You can get cysteine from eating pasture-raised chicken, turkey, eggs, grass-fed dairy products, and sunflower seeds. Or, you can take a NAC supplement.

Alpha-lipoic acid. Like glutathione, alpha-lipoic acid (ALA) is an antioxidant made by the body. It recycles vitamin C and E, helps with glucose metabolism, supports the nervous system, and overall liver function. ALA is found in grass-fed meats, organ meats, broccoli, tomatoes, and Brussels sprouts. You can also get ALA in supplement form.

Also, make sure to exercise your way to more glutathione. Exercise boosts glutathione.

Good quality sleep. Chronic lack of sleep actually depletes glutathione levels.

Make no bones about it, calcium, magnesium, and vitamin D are all vital to your everyday health.

Build a strong foundation for your active life with a carefully balanced bone-building supplement.

Health is our TRUE Wealth…

Stay happy. Stay healthy. 😉

There is Some Good News About Honey 🤩

Don’t toss your honey out just yet. Eating honey has many other benefits that can help you optimize your experience during the season. For instance, it can help soothe a cough, especially when used to sweeten tea instead of using sugar. Just don’t give it to kids younger than a year old, because it can cause a life-threatening illness called botulism.
