Glutathione: The “Superhero” of all Antioxidants
Antioxidants are imparative to helping our bodies combat the abundance of free radicals we are exposed to on a regular basis! The snowball effect of free radicals destroys our cells and causes them to act abnormally and has been linked to virtually every chronic illness known to man. Antioxidants sacrifice themselves to neutralize the damaging effects of free radicals. Glutathione is so powerful, it not only stops free radicals in their tracks, it also brings sacrificed antioxidants back to life! Unfortunately, the over abundance of toxins we are exposed to on a daily basis is depleting our bodies of this vital antioxidant at rates too fast to replace!

Why do we need Vitamin D?
I was reading this article in Medical News Today and was amazed (as usual) at how much a single vitamin can affect our health! Read on…
Why Vitamin D is so important:
- It is crucial for the absorption and metabolism of calcium and phosphorous, which have various functions, especially the maintenance of healthy bones.
- It is an immune system regulator.
- It may be an important way to arm the immune system against disorders like the common cold, say scientists from the University of Colorado Denver School of Medicine, Massachusetts General Hospital and Children’s Hospital Boston.
- It may reduce the risk of developing multiple sclerosis. Multiple sclerosis is much less common the nearer you get to the tropics, where there is much more sunlight, according to Dennis Bourdette, chairman of the Department of Neurology and director of the Multiple Sclerosis and Neuroimmunology Center at Oregon Health and Science University, USA.
- Vitamin D may have a key role in helping the brain to keep working well in later life, according to a study of 3000 European men between the ages of 40 and 79.
- Vitamin D is probably linked to maintaining a healthy body weight, according to research carried out at the Medical College of Georgia, USA.
- It can reduce the severity and frequency of asthma symptoms, and also the likelihood of hospitalizations due to asthma, researchers from Harvard Medical School found after monitoring 616 children in Costa Rica.
- It has been shown to reduce the risk of developing rheumatoid arthritis in women.
- A form of vitamin D could be one of our body’s main protections against damage from low levels of radiation, say radiological experts from the New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene.
- Various studies have shown that people with adequate levels of vitamin D have a significantly lower risk of developing cancer, compared to people with lower levels. Vitamin D deficiency was found to be prevalent in cancer patients regardless of nutritional status, in a study carried out by Cancer Treatment Centers of America.

6 Ways to eat more Omega-3 Fats
There’s no doubt about it…Omega-3 Fatty Acids are good for you! Omega-3’s are especially known for improving heart health. From naturally lowering cholesterol and blood pressure, reducing the risk of clotting in the arteries and reducing inflammation, quality Omega-3’s are where it’s at! But they go way beyond just heart health! Omega-3’s may reduce the risk of other chronic diseases such as cancer and arthritis. They are also great at easing stiff joints and improving brain health such as improving memory, focus and recall as well as easing depression.
Omega-3 fatty acids are considered essential fatty acids meaning they are necessary for our health but our bodies can’ t make them — so we have to get them from the food we eat. Unfortunately, the average american gets less than half of what’s recommended for optimum health benefits.
So, Here Are 6 Easy Ways to Eat More Omega-3 Fats:
1. Nuts and Seeds
2. Beans
3. Fish
4. Oils
