Be Kind To Your Liver.
I’m all about improving my bodily functions naturally. Although our bodies are generally self-cleansing, each and every organ counts on us to keep them healthy. Whether you want to admit it to yourself or not, we expose our bodies to toxins, intentionally and unintentionally. How many Sunday Funday’s do you attend lol? Our detoxifying organs (kidneys, skin + liver) can be put under so much stress on a daily basis!
Our liver plays a vital role in our bodies!
Not only does it convert the nutrients from food into materials our bodies can use, it helps our body to excrete toxic substances. We need her running efficiently AT ALL TIMES!
One easy way I boost my liver health is by drinking a herbal tea, Dr. Stuart’s Extraordinarily Good Teas Liver Detox, formulated to boost the liver’s detoxification abilities. I drink it in the morning on an empty stomach. If I choose to add a sweetener, it is always most likely organic blue agave nectar (it doesn’t raise your blood sugar levels). I purchase both from Whole Foods.
A FEW SIGNS THAT YOUR LIVER NEEDS A DETOX!
Bloating
Changes in your skin (dry dark patches, yellow tone)
Fatigue
Dark urine
Mood swings, depression
Weight gain, or the inability to lose weight
Digestive issues
Hormonal imbalances
Excess sweating/body odor
If you are experiencing any of these symptoms, clean up your diet! Don’t eat foods that put extra stress on your body. My best tip is to load up on whole foods, fresh organic fruits, and eat a ton of leafy greens.
