so today let’s talk about the master antioxidant glutathione now what is an antioxidant well to understand that you have to understand what a free radical is you take an atom with paired electrons okay if one of those electrons is missing we have an it’s called an unpaired electron making it unstable so that’s called a free radical it’s not very balanced and it can create a lot of destruction throughout the cells the cell machinery the dna etc so an antioxidant comes along and donates an electron to balance it out and stabilize it the problem is that antioxidant now loses its electron and it becomes unstable it has to get electron from another antioxidant so this is why you have antioxidants in networks and this is why you should never take a synthetic antioxidant because they’ve been known to cause cancer why because synthetic antioxidants don’t come in networks they come as an individual synthetic antioxidant so once they donate their electron they become the problem they become the free radical and that can create all sorts of damage glutathione has been majorly studied there’s over a hundred thousand peer review papers in scientific journals on this one compound glutathione it’s the most abundant antioxidant in the liver but all your cells make it and so it reduces oxidative stress so if we’re going to start balancing out these free radicals we’re going to reduce the amount of oxidation and stress of the body your body also makes free radicals for various things killing microbes breaking down certain things in chemical reactions it even makes hydrogen peroxide glutathione is there to help neutralize some of these toxins that your body actually makes for various things also glutathione helps maintain something called exogenous antioxidants exogenous are those things that are outside the body so glutathione will help maintain antioxidants that come from the diet like vitamin c and vitamin e glutathione this antioxidant that our body makes helps maintain these other antioxidants that we get from the diet and also these other antioxidants that we take get from the diet can also help maintain glutathione glutathione not only acts as an antioxidant it also helps in detoxification there are three phases of detoxification phase one phase two phase three where your body will take a poison and through different enzyme reactions breaks down that poison into a harmless particle and then gets rid of it through either the skin uh the kidney through the urine or the bowel which actually comes through the liver and the bile and then through the intestine so your body is constantly trying to get rid of stuff that’s not good for it it’s the most abundant sulfur antioxidant okay all your cells make it but it’s probably primarily most concentrated in the liver because it’s sulfur if you consume certain foods that are higher and softer you will actually give your body the raw material to make more glutathione so take a wild guess what the sulfur-based vegetables are you guessed it cruciferous so eating cruciferous vegetables will help you with this right here also getting enough vitamin c from vegetables or other types of vegetables will also help you make more glutathione selenium is a good trace mineral to help build up glutathione as well milk thistle strengthens the liver cell so then your body can make more glutathione and also fasting will increase the network of antioxidants in the body which is actually quite fascinating you would think that by not eating it would shrink the pool of antioxidants it does just the reverse it increases so with age we decrease our ability to make this we drink too much alcohol stress take drugs toxins over time it decreases the glutathione a lot of times people neglect the antioxidant networks they’re very very important at neutralizing toxic things they’re also involved in detoxification and these are a few things you can do to make sure you don’t run out of glutathione as well as your other antioxidant networks that you need
