When glutathione levels in the body are not adequate to keep up with the amount of acetaldehyde being produced during the first phase of alcohol detoxification, acetaldehyde begins to exert its powerful damaging effects.
In addition to foods with glutathione building blocks, you can also increase
the glutathione levels in your body by consuming foods that are high in selenium and alpha - lipoic acid.
Studies have shown that increased
glutathione levels in our body's T - cells, B - cells, and white blood cells (lymphocytes) make them stronger and therefore more effective in fighting foreign bodies, in general.
