🍎Today’s Health Lesson 🍏
We are NEVER too old to learn 😲- please read:
This VS That : Direct VS Indirect Antioxidants
🌿DIRECT ANTIOXIDANTS - These are the antioxidants that we are most familiar with. They are vitamins and minerals that you typically consume from food or supplements. They neutralize free radicals by binding directly to a free radical. (Free radicals cause damage to our cells - bad guys)
🌿INDIRECT ANTIOXIDANTS - These work in a different way, and they are more effective at age fighting than direct antioxidants.
Here are the roles of Indirect Antioxidants....
💪Activate detox enzymes - By activating detoxifying enzymes, they clean up your cells by identifying toxins and turning them into cellular garbage which is then carried away.
💪Recycle direct antioxidants
💪Help cells produce antioxidant enzymes — SAY WHAAAAT!?! Make your own instead of take them!?! Yes please 👏👏👏 antioxidant enzymes are the body‘s natural antioxidants. These enzymes are made in the cell when they are needed. For example, when cells are experiencing oxidative stress. (Inflammation in the body 🔥- bad news)
The most effective types of antioxidant enzymes include...
☑️Superoxide Dismutase ☑️Catalase ☑️Glutathione Peroxidase (side note: glutathione is the body’s MASTER antioxidant enzyme - SUPER important)
Conclusion - there is a huge difference between direct and indirect antioxidants. They are incredibly important to our health and longevity, however they work in very different ways. Eating foods full of antioxidants 🍓 🍑 🍎 🍇 continues to be extremely important and I will continue to do so, however, there is a more effective way and it is through the power of ACTIVATION!
This little yellow pill activates a protein called Nrf2.
It’s a big deal!
Look it up It literally unlocks our body’s potential! It activates our God given antioxidant enzymes (specifically the 3 mentioned above) - including 300% upregulation of glutathione!
I know there are people who care about their health. Continue to educate yourself!!
