His personal website, bio & blog are at: www.naturalpharmacist.net.  Dr. Pelton joins us today to discuss his newly published article: “The Microbiome Theory of Aging”.

Dr. Pelton recently wrote a paper titled The Glutathione Theory of Aging. Glutathione levels are now a recognized biomarker of aging. Boosting glutathione levels is one of the most proactive steps people can take to improve their health and achieve healthy longevity.

Glutathione is a molecule that contains three amino acids, which are glutamate, cysteine and glycine and it is classified as a tripeptide.

Glutathione has multiple features that make it unique and important. Let’s start by discussing glutathione’s antioxidant activity. Glutathione’s molecular structure enables it to be a very powerful and versatile antioxidant. However, glutathione is also part of several very important antioxidant enzymes including glutathione peroxidase, glutathione reductase and a large group of enzymes known as glutathione transferases. These enzymes help in the continual process of “squelching” free-radicals or “oxidants” that destabilize cells and lead to their decay or premature aging and cellular death.

There has been a leap of technology regarding superfoods and superfood
supplements. Research has shown that plants from the ocean, such as
seaweeds, are among the most nutrition-dense and health-promoting
foods humans can consume.

The Cleveland Clinic refers to superfoods as “natural foods that are
especially nutrient-dense while generally being low in calories.

Superfoods are the solution for Americans and people worldwide suffering
from illness and poor vitality. Research has shown that certain superfoods
are densely packed with phytonutrients, vitamins and minerals, fiber, and
healthy fats. In addition, superfoods are relatively low in calories and simple
carbohydrates, an essential requirement for a population where overweight
and diabetes are commonplace.
