I've incorporated anything that would increase antioxidants in my daily routine. I always do 1-2 protein shakes that include 1-2" fresh ginger, depending what fruits I'll add turmeric w/ pepper (as this is what activates curcumin), lemon, chia seeds, maca powder, 3 drops of cbd tincture, collagen powder & NAC. There's also Flax (in steel oats, hemp seeds (in yogurt/salad). I do chlorophyll drops in moderation along side adding propel in my water. I never drink water without electrolytes. Coconut water is my 1st choice.
Sorry! Didn't realize how long my response was going to be! I've made so many lifestyle changes with hopes to continue improving and I love to share. Especially if it will help others. Eating Indian food has been my favorite as the ingredients in it is healthy. 😋
So I guess it's not really just supplements for me but rather what food can I get them from.
