The environment is loaded with toxins.
The chemicals in food, colorings, alcohol, medications and skin lotions are all filtered through our amazing livers.
The chemicals in food, colorings, alcohol, medications and skin lotions are all filtered through our amazing livers.
It is responsible for filtering toxins out
of the blood. If your liver is overworked and never gets a break through poor
lifestyle habits, it can become clogged, causing toxins to back up and
recirculate into the bloodstream.
Your liver decides what can come in and what stays out. It is like the
gatekeeper. It does this mainly by removing impurities from
the blood. The body also eliminates toxins through the lungs, lymph and skin,
kidneys and intestines.
Symptoms of toxicity
Asthma, allergies, headaches, joint pain,
skin problems, inability to concentrate, poor sleep, extra kilos and alcohol
intolerance can all be symptoms of a toxic or overloaded liver.
This inability to detoxify can lead to
premature ageing as well as many degenerative diseases. The good news is that
the liver has an amazing ability to regenerate with new lifestyle skills.
Detoxification is a natural
function when the body is properly nourished. However, when this system is compromised, impurities aren't
properly filtered and every cell in the body is adversely affected
It is important to learn
what foods to eat, those to avoid, and when and how much to eat in order to
maximise the efficiency of your body’s biochemistry.
Food allergy testing
is a good idea if you are having problems with what you eat.
Fat cell toxins
Toxins in fat cells will not
break down easily. Reducing body fat will release fat-residing toxins into the
blood stream. When toxins are stored they slow down the thyroid, a main gland
for controlling metabolism. When the thyroid slows down so does the metabolic
rate, leading to more stored fat.
Benefits to gain
Losing
body fat means clearer thinking, a better complexion, a stronger immune system
and improved digestion and liver function. Your metabolism will speed up and
your intestines will gain their ability to quickly and easily eliminate waste
unhindered by toxin build-up.
Poor
digestion and toxicity are among the leading culprits of poor health. Once your
body is thoroughly cleansed, keep it that way by following the principles of
healthy living and avoid substances that carry toxins.
Things you can do
Cleansing the liver is about
resting, cleaning and nourishing the body from the inside out. By removing and
eliminating toxins, then feeding your body with healthy nutrients, detoxifying
can help protect you from disease and renew your ability to maintain optimum
health, and improve vitality and energy
Eat cleansing foods such as
vegetables in the form of juicing, soups and salads, fruit, lean protein and
good quality oils
You can also use strong
tasting herbs mixed into a potion as a liver healing and support.
Drink lots of clean filtered
water. Lemon in warm water in the morning is a perfect liver cleanse. During
the detox it is important to get rid of any alcohol, cigarettes, processed food
and sugars to allow the body some healing time.
Optimally, you would have a comprehensive health plan that addresses
nourishment, exercise, lifestyle and stress management.
