Our bodies are made up of 50+ trillion cells that can be classified by at least 200 different functions including bone cells, blood cells, nerve cells and muscle cells. Together, these tiny powerhouses are responsible for all of the life-supporting processes happening in our bodies every second. In fact, optimal wellness depends on how healthy our cells are. But the opposite also tends to be true: poor health starts all the way down at the cellular level. And cells can be impacted by a variety of internal and external threats: insufficient nutrition, stress, aging, environmental toxins, and much more.
Thankfully, our cells are programmed for self-repair and renewal – as long as they have what they need to do their jobs. If cells don’t have a steady and daily supply of nutrients and antioxidants to stay healthy and protected, our bodies’ built-in cellular upkeep can be hindered. And if business-as-usual goes off schedule, it affects cells at the deepest level: our DNA.
DNA – Our Genetic Blueprint
Our cells, tiny as they are, contain all sorts of even smaller "organelles" that control their function. One of the most critical is our cellular nucleus with its DNA, the genetic blueprint for what each cell is supposed to be and do. Our DNA not only holds the codes for all of our unique traits, like the color of our eyes, but it is also key for keeping our bodies thriving. DNA is like our bodies' internal control board that determines how well we function every day and throughout life, giving commands and providing the code our body needs to do its job of staying healthy.
DNA on the Defense
We are all exposed to toxins from the environment every day, through our food, in our air and water and even to biological toxins (like free radicals) produced by our very own bodies. These toxins all have the potential to wreak havoc if they’re not eliminated properly. When DNA becomes damaged, normal cell activities can slow down, be short-circuited, or cease altogether. Toxic overload is linked to low energy, premature aging, and is at the root of many common health conditions.
Fortunately, our bodies are incredibly equipped to deal with problems before they begin. Our cells' natural defense against toxic threats and unwanted cellular changes includes a complex detoxification enzyme system including a process for producing and recycling powerful antioxidants like glutathione.
Detoxification
You might associate the trendy term "detox" with colon cleanses or juice fasts. But true, deep cellular detoxification is a natural process of transformation happening every second inside our bodies. Our cells, especially those in our liver, have a set of enzymes that help transform potentially damaging toxins into one our body can eliminate.
Glutathione
Leading the pack of our detox defense is glutathione. This “master antioxidant” exists in every one of our cells. But glutathione is in high demand, especially in our modern world of lackluster nutrition and the ubiquity of “forever chemicals”, but also by everyday aging and immune health maintenance.
Glutathione is unlike other well-known antioxidants that we get from our diets, like vitamin C, A, E and selenium. Not only is isolated glutathione poorly absorbed, our bodies require way more of this critical compound than could possibly fit in a capsule or two. Instead, we must make sure our bodies have all the resources it needs to keep making more of this potent antioxidant ammunition.
Supporting our Cells
While we can’t live in bubbles and completely avoid all the daily toxins surrounding us and passing through us, we can support the function of the incredible detoxification and antioxidant systems in our bodies. Research has shown a variety of phytonutrients from numerous superfoods and botanicals have the ability to promote robust cellular defenses, healthy glutathione regeneration, and balanced detoxification enzyme function.
Colorful, fiber-rich fruits and veggies including crucifers like broccoli, leafy greens like kale, radiant beetroots, and liver-loving artichokes are full of detoxifying phytonutrients and antioxidants. But since fitting a rainbow of powerful superfoods in every day is easier said than done, you can still give your cells deep DNA nourishment from 20 of the planet’s most effective organic protectors. Cell Protector™ includes freeze-dried cruciferous sprouts, milk thistle and other top healthy detox extracts, fresh-dried dandelion and artichoke juices, and more for healthy aging and youthful vitality.
