“Not only is salmon roe a good source of DHA, it also provides protein, vitamins, minerals, and astaxanthin – an antioxidant compound that gives salmon its reddish or pinkish tint. In human studies, astaxanthin reduces biomarkers of oxidative stress.”

“Recent clinical evidence suggests that sulforaphane raises levels of the potent antioxidant glutathione in the plasma and brain. In two independent studies, sulforaphane showed promising outcomes, with children and adolescents exhibiting marked reductions in autistic behavior.”

“Other metabolic benefits of HIIT occur through increasing a muscle protein called PGC-1α. Higher levels of PGC-1α can improve a muscle's oxygen use, antioxidant defense, and glucose management, and may also protect against muscle loss with aging and reduce inflammation.”

“Krill oil and salmon roe both have a slightly higher concentration of DHA-lysophosphatidylcholine. She also talks about astaxanthin, a carotenoid that is unique to krill oil, and has potent antioxidant activity and prevents the oxidation of DHA and EPA.”

“Vitamin C plays a critical role in immune function. Vitamin C is highly concentrated in immune cells, where it serves as a potent antioxidant. Vitamin C also boosts the immune system by promoting the proliferation of T cells and preventing T cell death.”

“These antioxidant compounds eventually end up in the urine, which is temporarily stored in the bladder prior to elimination, providing a unique environment in which to study the effects of sulforaphane and its metabolic byproducts on bladder tissue.”

“Glutathione, a potent endogenous antioxidant compound, is a likely mediator of these effects. Data from preclinical models of glutathione deficiency, supported by magnetic resonance spectroscopy studies, show increased glutathione levels in the brains of people who receive sulforaphane.”

“Tomatoes are a rich source of lycopene, a powerful antioxidant that may help protect against cancer and cancer-related death. A recent study found that people with the highest blood levels of lycopene were 11% less likely to develop cancer and 24% less likely to die from it than those with the lowest levels.”

“In modern times, fasting and exercise are behaviors that mildly stress cells. Exercise promotes resilience, stimulates antioxidant defenses, and increases autophagy, the removal of damaged proteins and dysfunctional organelles.”

“Glutathione is a powerful antioxidant that facilitates the body's excretion of a wide range of toxic substances, including pesticides, aflatoxin, and air pollutants. It binds with many of these toxins and forms mercapturic acids, which can be excreted and measured in urine.”
