Get your Liver in tip-top shape


Consider these tips to show your Liver some Lovin':

Your liver is your friend.  The health of this friend is critical to the health of your wonderful, vibrant body!  Toxins are all around and within us.  We can't hide and we won't run scared!  Your amazing liver cleans many, many of these toxins from your body.   L-I-V-E-R, Goooooo Liver!   This vital organ works at its very best when it's provided with the proper foods.   So, be a friend and show your liver some love by exploring the following assignment below.
Assignment (should you choose to accept):  Housekeeping your liver, your friend ...
  

1. Garlic Breath!

Good ole' garlic breath is a good thing!  Garlic helps the liver flush out toxins from the body.  Stink up your day!

2. Good Morning Grapefruit!

Good Morning Grapefruit!  Grapefruit helps the liver burn fat rather than store it!  And it helps just like garlic by aiding your lovely liver as it works hard to detoxify.  Try it first thing in the am, it's a great yummy way to break your fast.


3. Set your (Green) T time!

Green tea is loaded with goodies that reportedly eliminate liver fat accumulation and promote proper liver function and it protects the liver against toxins that would otherwise accumulate.  There are many varieties and flavors to try.  I enjoy the celestial seasonings line.  It is inexpensive and readily available.  Enjoy green tea throughout the day!

4. OK Mom, I'll Eat My Leafy Greens...

Are you Iron Man?  If not, clean the heavy metals and pesticides out of your system with leafy green vegetables such as bitter gourd, arugula, dandelion greens, spinach, mustard greens, and chicory.  Leafy greens also increase the flow of cleansing bile.  Go with the flow, baby!

5. Avocado to the rescue!

Avocados protect and boost liver function.  But watch your portions of this favorite - just eating one or two avocados a week (not a day, please) will do.  And, in as little as 30 days this treat just may repair any damage to your lovely liver!  Repair, rescue and rejuvenate today!

6. Wallow in some Walnuts!

We all need our omega-3s - so eat some walnuts!  But there's more - are you walking around with ammonia in your system?!  Could be.  Walnuts help detoxify the liver of this disease-causing problem and help oxygenate the blood.   Yay! You only need a handful a day and your liver will smile!

7. Bionic Tumeric!

YOU have the power to Rebuild it!  Yes, Turmeric, can regenerate and rebuild damaged liver cells!   Oh, and your gallbladder, another body-purifying organ, is also assisted by tumeric.  Not sure how?  Idea - Turmeric is a spice used in many Indian food recipes so you can start there.   Or be brave and buy it in the spice aisle and get creative!  Get bionic today - make Steve Austin proud!

So there it is!  Let's face it, not all of us can avoid toxins in our food and environment, they are simply part of modern life.  That is why our liver is our friend.  Let's help it do the best job possible starting today...

As always check with your doctor before changing your diet as certain foods may react with some medications.
