Good Morning!Inflammation is often the root cause (or at the very least a contributing factor) of a variety of ailments, from achy joints to cardiovascular disease. While there are lots of different ways to fight inflammation, one of the best things you can do is support glutathione production. Gluta-what you may ask? This little molecule is the mother of all antioxidants and does much of the heavy lifting when it comes to supporting your immune system & immune function. Here are three ways to boost this powerhouse: Eat a variety of foods, from broccoli to Brazil nuts to citrus and pasture-raised beef. Exercise. The ultimate goal is a combination of moderate cardio and weight lifting most days of the week, but start where you are and work up. Just be careful not to overdo it, as it can have the opposite effect. Get a good night’s sleep. I cannot emphasize enough the importance of good sleep. Aim for 8 hours a night to allow your body to rest, recover and restore those glutathione levels.
