In this video, I want to talk about how to boost your antioxidant levels. Just so you know, your body makes antioxidants—they are known as endogenous antioxidants.

You can also get antioxidants from your food or from supplements—these are known as exogenous antioxidants.

Why are antioxidants so important? They neutralize these things called free radicles and oxidants that can create oxidation. The lessen the damage in your biological machinery, including your DNA. Damaged DNA can shorten your lifespan and cause disease.

Free radicles are unpaired electrons that essentially try to steal electrons from healthy tissue. Antioxidants donate an electron to free radicles to neutralize them.

The problem is that the antioxidant now becomes a free radicle, which then borrows an electron from another antioxidant—and so on and so on. This is why antioxidants are a network.

Always avoid synthetic antioxidants, including synthetic vitamins.

One of the most powerful antioxidants that your body has is glutathione from the liver. Glutathione sources include:
• Beef
• Fish
• Chicken
• Cruciferous vegetables (especially radish)
• Garlic
• Onion
• Avocado
• Asparagus
• Spinach

Another powerful antioxidant is selenium. Selenium sources include:
• Brazil nuts
• Fish
• Sea kelp
• Organ meats

Many natural vitamins also have antioxidant properties. About 50% of the antioxidants in your blood come from uric acid.

Those on high-carb diets often have a lot of oxidation and free radicles from glucose.

There are a handful of things we can do to improve the antioxidant network:
• Consume healthy food rich in antioxidants
• Take supplements rich in antioxidants, like wheatgrass juice powder
• Keep stress down
• Get plenty of sleep
• Exercise
• Fasting/intermittent fasting

Dr Berg just wanted to mention that yesterday I had a very painful leg cramp that would not go away for hours - It started in my calf and traveled up my whole leg. I thought it was a torn ligament. I went online and was looking for a way to relieve it I came across one of your videos from 2016 which you said to massage the opposite leg and it worked. I thank you from the bottom of my heart. God Bless You - it felt like a miracle - Thank you Thank you.

I have been eating and drinking an astronomically high antioxidant diet since about 25 and now eat the best I have ever done at 40. Several colleagues do not believe my age as I have had virtually no aging over the last decade at all other than just a few more lines and abit more hair thinning. My complexion is as a 15 year old and I feel all the good work going on inside me every day. I'm not aiming to reach an exceptional age, I just want to maximise the quality of life later in my advanced years and reduce the likelihood of cancer deriving from cell degredation.
