I recently posted that many foods contain compounds that are Nrf2 activators. Nrf2 is the master controller of the antioxidant system that regulates and extinguishes oxidative stress in cells. Scientists believe many phytonutrients found in food may work in tandem with one another. The following is a list of foods that contain phytonutrients that have been found to activate the Nrf2 antioxidant system, they include:
Broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage (contains phytonutrient sulfurophane)
Coffee
Leafy greens such as kale, bok choy, cabbage
Red wine (contains resveratrol)
Tumeric/curcumin
Green and white eea
Chocolate
Blueberries and other red, black and purple berries.
Olive Oil
Garlic
Sage
Onions
Apples
Citrus fruits
