Wildfires carry potent carcinogens and neurotoxins that cause oxidative stress on our bodies. Even though our bodies are designed to naturally get rid of toxins, most of our systems are overloaded as a result of living in the toxic soup of modern life.
Luckily, by eating a nutrient-rich diet (with lots of organic cruciferous veggies!) and taking antioxidant supplements, we can help our bodies get rid of the pollutants. Below are some mighty supplements that counter the negative effects of wildfire smoke exposure.
• Vitamin C:
This antioxidant is excellent at protecting our bodies from the oxidative stress of air pollution while removing toxins from our liver and strengthening our immune system. Recommended: I prefer vitamin C to be taken in a C complex supplement. Innate Response C Complete Powder is excellent. Take one scoop per day.
• N-acetyl Cysteine (NAC):
NAC is an antioxidant that has been shown to restore lung function while neutralizing inflammatory free radicals. It is a powerful detoxifier that also boosts immunity. Recommended: 600mg twice a day.
• Glutathione:
Liposomal glutathione is another potent antioxidant and detoxifier that neutralizes toxins and pollutants, preventing damage from smoke inhalation. Recommended: 250mg twice a day.
• Vitamin D3/K2:
Studies show that our needs for vitamin D increase when we are exposed to toxins. Vitamin D plays an important role in supporting our immune system. Vitamins D3 and K2 work synergistically and, therefore, it’s important to take them together and at the proper ratio. Recommended: Thorne D/K2 Liquid. Taking 4000IU daily (8 drops) is recommended if you don’t know your current vitamin D blood levels.
* As always, please talk to your doctor before starting to take any new supplements.
