Antioxidizing Your Way to Wellness Healthy Housecalls With Angel

Antioxidants. You’ve seen them mentioned all over social media, they're in your favorite health and beauty products and the pandemic has brought them front and center again as the go-to for immune support. But what are they exactly and where can you get them aside from the red, blue and orange fruits and veggies? Do you really need a supplement? To answer those questions and really understand how they fit into the big picture of your overall wellness plan it’s important to understand what they actually are, how they function, why you need them, how your own body makes them....AND how you can actually test to see if you're getting enough.

In this episode you'll learn the SCIENCE of free radicals, the meaning of oxidation and oxidative stress and four different antioxidants your body makes all on it's own with the support of those tiny little building blocks called essential amino acids. You'll learn about glutathione, (pronounced glue-tah-thy-own) the body's MASTER antioxidant and what you need to incorporate in your diet to get more. Finally, you'll have the tools to test your own nutritional status and strengthen your immune system throughout the pandemic and beyond.
