you know I like to find really effective

strategies to increase your survival

your health without spending a lot of

money and that’s what this video is

about unfortunately our environment is

just very very polluted uh we are being

bathed in chemicals and heavy metals is

one of the toxins that we’re exposed to

I’m talking about Mercury lead cadmium

Arsenic and these heavy metals can

accumulate in our tissues they can cross

the blood-brain barrier they can affect

the heart your digestive system your

neurons your red blood cells that can

make you anemic they can attack the ATP

and make you tired they actually affect

certain proteins and they block certain

proteins like for example the proteins

that allow you to grow hair so one of

the side effects would be hair loss and

these heavy metals also create a lot of

free radicals a lot of oxidation and

they force our own antioxidants to work

harder but not only that heavy metals

tend to block our own it’s called

endogenous antioxidants now our bodies

already have a very powerful

detoxification system it comes from

within the same thing with our immune

system we have an immune system that can

actually fight off things but of course

so many people are trying to sterilize

the environment and ignoring their own

immune system well the same thing occurs

with heavy metals you can avoid them to

a certain degree for sure but you should

also know about how to strengthen as a

really smart strategy your detox enzymes

okay I’m talking about glutathione I’m

talking about sod which stands for

superoxide dismutase these are enzymes

that help you break down chemicals

they’re also going to help you prevent

oxidation and also prevent free radical

damage and the problem is the heavy

metals block these systems just like for

example antibiotics greatly reduce your

immune system and I’m talking about the

chemicals from pollution water air food

certain fish shellfish loaded with

Mercury and the younger you are the more

highly susceptible you are to the damage

so it just so happens there are some

natural herbs that you can tap into

to not only

detoxify by chelation and chelation

means you’re binding something with the

heavy metal and removing it through the

system but not only that they have the

ability to up regulate or turn up as a

dial your own enzymes that detoxify so

the genes that control detoxification

can be upregulated by what I’m going to

talk about next now this is really cool

because these herbs can very easily be

added to your diet with very little

expense and just as a part of a healthy

lifestyle you don’t have to even buy any

supplements you just put a little bit of

this into your food on a regular basis

so the first one is sulforaphane in

broccoli Sprouts but especially broccoli

micro greens which are basically Sprouts

that have grown a little bit bigger I

would definitely recommend growing your

own and I’m going to be doing some

videos on that and if you get broccoli

micro grains ideally if you can get them

grown in soil that would be the ideal

situation but but even if you get them

to Sprouts you’re going to get good

amounts of sulforaphane so broccoli

spouts doesn’t take much a little bit in

your salad a few times a week that’s all

you need to do remember these Sprouts

are like 20 to 40 to 50 to even 100

times

more concentrated than adult broccoli it

means you don’t need much to create the

effect the next herb and it’s also

considered a spice which is very

powerful is cilantro in the UK it’s

known as coriander but cilantro has been

around for a very very long time it was

even found in the Tomb of King Tut

there’s also some powerful research that

can act as a powerful

anti-convulsant for those people who

have seizures but cilantro is used in a

lot of different recipes it’s in Thai

recipes it’s in salsa certain Indian

dishes in guacamole so I would encourage

you just use more cilantro in your food

because it can act as a powerful

chelator with virtually zero side

effects it can act as an antioxidant to

reduce the free radicals and it can also

upregulate your detoxification genes to

get rid of these heavy metals and other

poisons and then we have all Allison in

garlic garlic is a very potent chelator

and it’s also a potent up regulator of

the detoxification genes cure cumin okay

in turmeric is another one and of course

you have the cruciferous vegetables can

also help now of course to avoid heavy

metals you’re right I don’t know what

island you’d have to live on but you can

at least start doing more organic and

you can get a really good water filter

to help eliminate some of the toxicity

that you’re exposed to now since I

mentioned Mercury which is a very common

heavy metal that we’re exposed to if you

have not seen my video on how to reduce

the mercury in the fish that you eat I

put that video right up here check it
