Hello readers,
So, in this article I’m going to tell you about a substance that
will help the health and body in many ways. This substance is called
Glutathione.
Glutathione is a tri-peptide formed formed from Glutamic
acid, Cysteine and Glycine and is generally produced in your body. The main
function of Glutathione is as a powerful anti-oxidant removing various toxins
and free radicals. It is the “Cysteine” that plays a central role in the
functionality of L-Glutathione and a “Cysteine thiol” is a key of the function.
As we age, there is a constant drop in the Glutathione level
in our body from our daily lifestyle. Some of the factors that cause a decrease
in Glutathione levels are ultraviolet rays from sunshine. Heavy exercise,
stress, alcohol, cigarettes, and environmental pollution.
Low Glutathione levels have been connected with many
diseases associated with aging. Reduced Glutathione is produced primarily in
the liver and distributed to other body parts through the blood stream. For
many health conditions, the demand for Glutathione exceeds the production.
What are some of the ways to offset this drop in Glutathione?
There are various foods you can eat that contain
Glutathione. For example, Rice , Fish, Bananas, Chicken, Spinach, Potatoes,
Carrots, Tomatoes, and Beef. There are foods that can replenish the glutathione.
However the glutathione from these foods in not sufficient.
Liver has a high Glutathione level but it’s not easy to get
a continuous daily requirement.
Therefore, supplementation is necessary in maintaining a
healthy lifestyle.
Many articles have been published on Glutathione documenting
its health benefits. When you think about glutathione, just remember it is the
AID+ of life.
First the A stands for Anti-Oxidant. Glutathione can neutralize
the free radicals in our bodies. Second the I stands for immune system. Third the
D stands for Detoxifier. Glutathione removes toxins and heavy metals from the
body. Fourth , the + is for skin beauty. Glutathione can keep our skin healthy
and beautiful.
Glutathione can also be used in many kinds of commercial applications
such as confectioneries, drinks, dry cereal & dairy products.
So this is the end of this article. And I’ll tell you more
about this glutathione in upcoming articles.
