Turn on Nrf2 protein to create antioxidants
This is an interesting article about antioxidants. It suggests that just as important as ingesting antioxidants is triggering the body’s own antioxidant creating mechanism. This is done by turning on a protein called Nrf2 (yet another example of how we can influence our gene expression through food! amazing).
And lucky for all us anti-cancer dieters, broccoli, turmeric and green tea (all staples of our diet already, right?! :-)) do this.
