Nowadays, ‘Glutathione’ is one of the most sought after skin care products by people. It is the most important antioxidant in the body that helps in enhancing skin tone and preventing the signs of aging (Anti-aging). Although our liver produces it naturally, its levels can decrease as we age and due to poor diet. Without resorting to chemical injections or pills, you can naturally increase glutathione in the body by eating some fruits daily. Here are 4 such important fruits and their scientific reasons:
Avocado / Avocado: Avocado is one of the fruits that contains the highest amount of glutathione. The healthy fats (Monounsaturated Fats) contained in it help in easy absorption of glutathione into the body. In addition, its vitamin E protects cells from damage and doubles the production of glutathione by removing toxins from the liver.
Oranges & Citrus Fruits: Fruits like oranges, lemons, and grapes contain high amounts of vitamin C. When vitamin C reaches the body, it not only increases the level of glutathione, but also helps to regenerate glutathione in the body without destroying it. Studies show that when vitamin C is low, the level of glutathione is also reduced by half.
Strawberries & Berries: Strawberries and blueberries are rich in vitamin C as well as powerful antioxidants called polyphenols. These destroy free radicals that damage the cells in the body. This reduces the body’s need to produce its own glutathione and helps maintain its levels.
Papaya: Papaya contains a unique enzyme called papain, in addition to vitamin C and vitamin A. These enzymes help to facilitate liver function and increase digestion. When the liver is healthier, the body’s natural production of glutathione increases significantly.
