Top foods with Methionine

Methionine is the unsung hero of the human body. It is an amino acid that works hard to keep our livers in top shape, builds the protein we need, aids digestion, supports your metabolism and keeps your bladder healthy. These are just some of the many tasks assigned to it on a daily basis. Without it, the liver can deteriorate and cause a series of life-threatening symptoms. The bad news is that the body cannot create it naturally. The good news is that you can get your daily intake easily by adding foods with Methionine to your diet.

Although pills and powders are available today, you don’t need to follow a regimen to receive adequate doses of Methionine. You can increase your intake of foods like eggs, tuna, cod, spinach, broccoli, zucchini, Brazilian nuts and sesame seeds. All of these are great sources of the amino acid and can be found in your kitchen. Integrate these foods in your meals and as snacks any way you can.

Methionine’s primary function is to help the liver process substances that pass through it. It also plays a major role in its repair. Alcohol and other toxins go through the liver every day and without this amino acid helping in the detoxification process, you can experience liver damage and gradual failure. This can lead to symptoms such as changes in urine, pain in the abdomen, sensitive skin and fatigue. Symptoms can disrupt normal life and eventually leave you incapable of performing daily duties. Whether you are still healthy or undergoing dialysis, consuming foods with Methionine can improve your health.

Other benefits of a Methionine-rich diet are healthy nail and hair growth, improvement in blood circulation for those with heart disease, muscle building and to restore the acidity of urine. Physicians use different doses to treat a range of illnesses. It is used to treat a heart disease called Atherosclerosis, to relieve buildup in blood vessels. It’s also known to remedy depression, Parkinson’s, Alzheimer’s, cancer and diabetes. Methionine is vital to pregnant women. Studies show that it can help in the development of unborn babies.

Eating foods with Methionine is much safer than taking it in pill form or powder. The doses found in food are adequate and make it difficult to consume too much. Do not use it as medication at home without the recommendation and prescription from a medical practitioner. High doses of this amino acid in your blood can do more harm than good. Ironically, it can cause the opposite effect. While a small dose can improve your cardiovascular health, too much can cause arteries to harden. The correct amount can help your liver recover but too much can end up accelerating liver failure. Even though it’s used to relieve patients of depression, large doses can lead to worse mental conditions like schizophrenia and agitation.

It’s impossible to live a healthy life without Methionine but inaccuracy in dosage can devastate your body. The safest and most effective way to enjoy its benefits is to include it in your diet.
