Welcome to the Dr. Berg's Healthy Keto and Interminute Fasting Podcast, where Dr. Berg takes you

on the journey for the truth about getting healthy and losing healthy weights.

Today we're going to talk about the number one top food to greatly boost your co-enzyme Q10.

Now, what is co-enzyme Q10? Well, it's a co-enzyme, which is a little different than an enzyme.

So it's a helper enzyme.

Well, what does it help with?

Well, it helps to make your energy currency in your body called ATP.

And this occurs in the energy factory called the mitochondria.

So co-enzyme Q10 is intimately involved in making ATP or energy.

It's involved in maintaining that ATP or energy.

And it's also involved in reducing the byproduct that occurs when you make that energy,

which is like oxidative stress, free radical damage. So it's a very powerful antioxidant. So it'll be equivalent to a specialized gasoline in your car that would not give you any exhaust, exhaust being the oxidation,

the free radical damage. So the reason why we need so much co-enzyme Q10 in our heart is because

that is the part of the body that generates

the most energy out of any part. I mean, it has to generate a lot of energy. And it's constantly

beating 24-7. It never really relaxes. And so you need this specialized co-enzyme to maintain that

energy. And because it produces all the energy, it comes with a lot of

exhaust. So we also need to clean that up as well. So that's why coenzyme Q10 is so important.

And so a lot of people take it for the cardiovascular function and they get more energy from it.

It helps them lower blood pressure. And I'm going to tell you why, because coenzyme Q10 supports

the blood vessel to the heart, as in the endothelial function. It also helps maintain the capacity

of energy to keep your energy in the heart at a certain level. So it doesn't dip down because if there's
