What makes glutathione so important and powerful is that it recycles antioxidants. When your body is dealing with free radicals, it is essentially passing them from one molecule to another. They might go from vitamin C to vitamin E to lipoic acid and then to glutathione where they are cooled off. Antioxidants are recycled at this point and the body can then regenerate another glutathione molecule to go back at it again.
Glutathione is crucial for helping your immune system fight chronic illness, as it acts as the carrier of toxins out of your body. Like a fly trap, toxins stick to glutathione and they are carried to the bile into the stools and out of the body. The body is going to come in contact with oxidants and toxins, and the more we can deal with them the better our body will be at staying strong and healthy.
Here are 9 ways to increase your glutathione levels in your cells.
1. Consume sulfur-rich foods. The main ones in the diet are garlic, onions and the cruciferous vegetables (broccoli, kale, collards, cabbage, cauliflower, watercress, etc.).
2. Exercise boosts your glutathione levels and thereby helps boost your immune system, improve detoxification, and enhance your body’s own antioxidant defenses. Start slow and build up to 30 minutes a day of vigorous aerobic exercise like walking or jogging, or play various sports. Strength training for 20 minutes 3 times a week is also helpful.
3. Take the Redox Cell Signaling supplement called ASEA for AT LEAST 90-120 days. It’s bio-active redox signaling molecules are 100% native to our body and are very unique in that they are antioxidant activators and immune system communicators, among other things. This redox signaling technology significantly improves the body’s ability to produce glutathione – the body’s super master antioxidant – by over 500% as reported in clinical studies.
