Inflammation must be one of the most complex and stubborn health issues that we can endure. It can be an issue on its own, or act as an underlying cause of numerous conditions. Either way, inflammation can be a persistent, complicated, and unpleasant state affecting pretty much every single aspect of our day. While each of the inflammatory or inflammation-induced conditions requires specific therapy, today we’re talking about natural ways to manage inflammation and reduce its symptoms.
Are you finding it hard to incorporate greens into your daily nutrition? Sometimes it’s challenging, especially when we’re short on time to prepare meals during the work week. Even more so when you don’t always enjoy the taste. You’re not alone.
In fact, let me tell you a quick story. Kale may be a superfood that cafe menus put at the front row and center of their offerings, but how many people like the taste? I have to admit, I’m not one of them. Determined to change that, I once attempted a 30-day challenge of incorporating kale into my diet by preparing overly-complicated, yet designer-looking recipes on Pinterest. Most of them involved frying it in excessive amounts of olive oil and hiding the taste further with strong cheese. But the experiment wasn’t a total failure. Why? Because it turns out the best way to get your kale is to blend it up into a smoothie and hide the taste with a creamy, ripe banana. Take-away: I now consume kale almost every day. So get yourself a good blender, then brag about how much kale you eat to all your friends.
Back to the topic at hand, green juice is really the most convenient & quickest way of ensuring that you’re getting your daily dose of greens, while also including any supplements you want to add into the mix for even more health benefits. And since we’re on the topic of inflammation, it is only appropriate to enrich our green juice recipe with the body’s master antioxidant -Liposomal Glutathione.
Referring toglutathione as the master antioxidant isn’t just a catch phrase. Glutathione is a tripeptide found naturally in the cells of the human body.One of its main roles is precisely to protect cellular integrity. Glutathione is also very important when it comes to managing oxidative stress from environmental toxins, processed foods,free radicals and mercury. Glutathione, the powerful antioxidant that it is,removes mercury from all cells, including the brain - preserving brain health and cognitive functions.
According to astudy on glutathione pathways in the brain, glutathione is the main factor in cellular detoxification of brain cells, and it has both intracellular and extracellular functions in thebrain. Besidespromoting overall cognitive health, glutathione has been found to aid in protection against numerous neurodegenerative conditions including Alzheimer’s, as discussed in abook by A. Moustapha.
In order for thethyroid gland to function properly and maintain the balance of its hormones, it requires asufficient dose of selenium. When there isn’t enough selenium for the thyroid to utilize, hormonal imbalance andconditions such as Hashimoto’s develop. While you may think that the obvious solution to this problem is selenium supplementation, doing thishas been shown to cause numerous gut issues, as well as other adverse effects. As opposed to selenium, glutathione supplementation has little to no side effects, and it is quite efficient when it comes tothyroid health due to itseffect on oxidative stress. Because glutathione is naturally available in the body, itrepresents a natural coping mechanism when it comes to dealing with free radicals.
Male fertility may not be one of the most freely discussed topics, but it certainly deserves all the attention it can get. Aside from its main and most prominent role of inhibiting oxidative stress, glutathione has also been found to enhance sperm motility & metabolism, promoting overall sperm quality, according to astudy conducted by A. Lenzi and colleagues.
The main mutual benefit of the master antioxidant glutathione and green juice is the much-needed naturaldetoxifying effect. As you already know, leafy greens arealkalizing vegetables, which means they’re providing the body with the needed antioxidants and phytonutrients for a natural detoxification process. On the other hand, glutathione is a key factor when it comes todetoxing the body, andit has been found to exert toxins by at least 4 different mechanisms.
Finally, given its potent antioxidant and detoxifying activity, it’s no wonder glutathione has recognizedanti-inflammatory characteristics. According to anarticle by B. Popa M.D., glutathione largely influences the inflammatory response by instructing the white cells responsible for our immunity. The article also states that by regaining the balance in our glutathione levels, we can also reduce chronic inflammation and promote immunity.
