One Of The Most Powerful Antioxidants
You’ve Never Heard Of…
Did you know?
There’s a powerful antioxidant your body
produces naturally that could help you
prevent diseases like heart disease,
diabetes and cancer.
What’s more, people with high levels of
this antioxidant are the ones who seem
to live to 100 and beyond.
It’s called glutathione.
The only problem? Your levels decline with
age.
So unless you do something proactive to
raise your levels, you miss out on all the
health and age-defying benefits.
The good news is, it’s pretty easy to keep
your levels high. And in just a moment, I’ll
show you how to do just that.
But first, let’s take a look at why it’s so
important to make sure your glutathione
levels stay high in the first place…
Scientists first discovered the powerful
effects of glutathione when a study at
the University of Louisville found that
boosting mosquitoes’ glutathione levels
increased their lifespan by up to 38 percent.
[1]
Researchers at the Montreal General Hospital
Research Institute did the same experiment.
This time, they used mice. The result?
The mice who received the glutathione boost
increased their lifespan. [2]
Yet another study, published in the journal
Age and Ageing found that folks age 100 to
105 had routinely higher glutathione levels
that those who were 60 to 79! [3]
This study suggests it’s the higher glutathione
levels that’s partially responsible for allowing
centenarians to live so long.
Glutathione seems to work by helping rid
your cells of toxins that can cause oxidative
damage – which can lead to accelerated aging
and disease.
So how can YOU reap the benefits?
It’s not hard at all, once you know how.
Take a look:
Eat more foods that help increase glutathione.
These foods include eggs, meat and fish. They
contain cysteine and glycine, two amino acids
that are essential to making glutathione in the
body.
Take melatonin. This is the hormone responsible
for your sleep-wake cycle. But, it can also help
increase enzyme activity that’s responsible for
shuttling glutathione into your cells. A nice side
benefit is that you’ll probably be able to sleep
better at night, since low melatonin levels play
a part in insomnia..
Drink a whey protein shake. This is due to the
fact that most whey proteins contain high levels
of the amino acid cysteine, which is a precursor
to glutathione. It’s also the amino acid precursor
that’s usually in short supply. So drink a whey
protein shake daily to boost your levels. Also,
make sure it’s a high-quality source of whey.
Supplement with fish oil. This healthy omega
3 oil contains DHA – which can help naturally
boost your body’s glutathione levels. Plus,
you get a whole host of health benefits as well.
So there you have it. If you want to live longer
(and stay healthy) try any one of these natural
glutathione-boosters.
Your body will thank you!
