If You Eat, Drink, and Breathe…. You!

Are you feeling sluggish, bloated, brain-foggy or just not quite like yourself?  I know I am!  A natural liver cleanse could be just what you need to feel rejuvenated and recharged. 

Modern life is extremely toxic and we are exposed to toxins like never before.  They are in the food we eat, the pots and pans we use, the water and beverages we drink, the products we put on our bodies, and the air we breathe. 

The liver is responsible for many crucial functions in the body, including detoxification, metabolism, and digestion. It filters toxins and waste products from the blood, yet a build-up of toxins can lead to digestive issues, fatigue, hormone imbalances, and even weight gain!  As Certified Nutritionist Camille Gallinger states, “Because we are what we cannot excrete,” a gentle liver cleanse is a great way to hit the reset button and give your liver a little tune-up. There are many different ways to cleanse the liver, but one of the most effective is through consumption of whole foods and healthy habits that naturally support liver function.

The health benefits of a liver cleanse

A liver cleanse is a great way to give your liver a much needed break and restore its health. By flushing out toxins and giving your liver a chance to rest, you can enjoy improved health and well-being. Some of the benefits of a liver cleanse include the following

• • Improved digestion 

• • Reduced bloating

• • More energy 

• • Sharper focus

• • Clearer skin

• • Better sleep

How to do a liver cleanse: diet and lifestyle changes to support detoxification

The liver is responsible for detoxification, so it’s important to keep it healthy. As Functional Medicine Dr. Ricky Brar states, “The body is meant to work well but it’s the things in our environment that lead to chronic health issues.”  There are a few diet and lifestyle changes you can make to support your liver’s detoxification process. 

1. First, eat plenty of organic fruits and vegetables. These pesticide-free foods are rich in antioxidants, which help to protect the liver from damage. 

2. Second, avoid processed foods and excessive alcohol consumption. These can put a strain on the liver and hinder its ability to function properly. 

3. Finally, exercise regularly and get adequate sleep. These activities help to reduce stress levels and promote overall health. By following these simple tips, you can help your liver to function optimally and support your body’s natural detoxification process.

The Challenge

Creating healthier habits and going through lifestyle changes can be challenging.  Let’s be real: it can be hard to pass up your nightly glass of wine or the sweets on the kitchen counter as you walk by. We all know that eating healthier foods, drinking more water and getting in daily exercise makes us feel better. So why don’t we just do those things? Sometimes life can get uber stressful and our healthy habits can start to slip.  Then we find ourselves on the sofa, drippy spoon in hand, staring into an empty pint of Ben & Jerry’s.  Having a fiance, three daughters and two sons between us, a cat, a dog, my own health and wellness business, and a household to run, my own best efforts can get derailed – and I do this for a living! 

No matter where we fall on the “healthy habits barometer,” we ALL have a hard time transitioning back to healthier choices.  This is exactly why I created our detox parties! It allows a group of like-minded people the opportunity to support one another as we work back towards healthier habits.
