There are a number of ways to aid your body in producing the glutathione it needs to break down acetaldehyde. Besides cysteine and selenium, which red meats do possess; alpha lipoic acid is another proven way to increase your body’s production of glutathione, while protecting your body from oxidative stress. It works with other essential antioxidants (such as glutathione) and vitamins to further amplify the positive effects that said components have on your body. Red meats, such as beef and lamb, are also an excellent source of protein. Also high in protein are white meats. White meats offer similar health benefits as red meats, because they are both high in cysteine.
