SWEET POTATO JALAPEÑO POPPERS
We covered free radicals and antioxidants on Page 1 of this newsletter and antioxidant-rich foods on Page 2, where we also mentioned that there’s another way you can increase the antioxidants in your body: supplementation. When it comes to which supplements to take, we definitely have a favorite at Natural Solutions for Health; however, we know that only some supplements we list may be available near you. So we’re providing two options to help your body create more antioxidants to fight free radicals. Glutathione Our favorite supplement by far is glutathione, a very powerful antioxidant that naturally occurs in every cell of our bodies. Glutathione is made from three types of amino acids, and what’s unique about this particular antioxidant is that your body creates it in your liver, which is not the case for most antioxidants. Its presence in the liver is essential because this organ plays a critical role in eliminating toxins from your body, so the fact that glutathione can exist there means your liver has extra help and a higher chance of expelling those free radicals. You can find glutathione in many supplement stores. For people who have trouble absorbing glutathione in a pill form, we typically recommend liquid glutathione to patients, as it has a higher absorption rate. HELP YOUR BODY CREATE MORE ANTIOXIDANTS With These 2 Key Supplements
Healthy, zingy, and savory, these vegan sweet potato jalapeño poppers are a flavorful appetizer.
Ingredients
• 1 lb sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into large pieces • 1/4 cup unsweetened plant- based milk • 1/4 cup nutritional yeast
• 2 tbsp white wine vinegar • 1/2 tsp ground turmeric • Salt and pepper, to taste • 7 fresh jalapeños, halved lengthwise and seeded
Directions
1. Preheat oven to 400 F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. 2. In a large saucepan, place sweet potato chunks in a steamer basket. Add water just below steamer basket and boil. Steam for around 10 minutes. Remove sweet potatoes, and let cool in a bowl before mashing. 3. In a small saucepan, whisk together milk, yeast, vinegar, and turmeric. Boil, then cook for 1 minute or until thickened. 4. In a blender, combine milk mixture and mashed sweet potatoes until smooth. Season with salt and pepper. 5. Spoon sweet potato mixture into jalapeño halves. Place on baking sheet and bake for 30 minutes or until lightly browned.

N-acetyl Cysteine If glutathione isn’t available near you, the next best option is N-acetyl cysteine. N-acetyl cysteine is a “conditionally essential” amino acid, meaning supplementing it usually isn’t necessary because your body can make it from other amino acids. Except, that is, during times of illness or stress when your body will need more of it than it can produce on its own — like, for example, after breathing in a surplus of toxins in the air. You’d want to take an N-acetyl cysteine supplement because it’s actually one of the three amino acids that make glutathione. So if you can’t find glutathione but your local store offers N-acetyl cysteine, it’s a great option as your body will naturally turn it into the powerful antioxidant glutathione. Regardless of your choice, both supplements are excellent at increasing the number of antioxidants in your body! To order supplements call 248-912-2962 .
