Liver detox your way to health
Your liver is one, if not the most important organ that helps detox your body.
It filters the blood from the digestive tract before it is passed throughout the body. Our liver is impacted when we consume alcohol, take prescription drugs, eat processed foods, lack sleep, breathe in polluted air, and eat a diet lacking proper nutrients and minerals.
To put it in simple terms, our liver is always working, for many, it is overworking due to lack of care.
To maintain a healthy liver, eat an organic, well-balanced diet, clock 7-8 hours of sleep a night, and limit, if not eliminate alcohol. We can also detox our liver on a daily basis; it doesn’t take a lot of time or need complicated ingredients – many are in your fridge now.
- 1 cup warm water
- ½-1 lemon
- Freshly grated ginger
Instructions:
Warm your water until it is a temperature safe for consumption. Squeeze the lemon into a mug and grate the ginger. Once the water is warm, pour it into the mug and enjoy!
Forget coffee, warm lemon water with ginger will help you jumpstart your day. It rehydrates your body, detoxes, and helps to settle and prepare your stomach for breakfast.
Lemons are known for purifying blood and cleansing. Consume a cup of warm lemon water first thing in the morning and your body will excrete the toxins from the day before.
- 1 cup coconut water
- ½ cup mango
- ½ cup pineapple
- 1 banana
- ½ spinach
- ½ tsp spirulina
Instructions:
Mix all the ingredients in a blender until smooth and enjoy!
The ultimate green, detoxifying smoothie. Coconut water helps to rehydrate your body with necessary electrolytes to keep our bodies moving and muscles functioning properly.
Spinach is a mineral-dense vegetable that contains anti-inflammatory phytonutrients that help to detox foreign substances within the body. Spirulina is a microalga, a complete protein containing all the essential amino acids.
This smoothie helps to protect the liver from further damage if consumed on a regular basis.
- 1 tbsp instant herbal dandy bend
- 1 cup plant-based milk (soy, almond, or coconut)
- 1 tsp Ceylon cinnamon
- Pinch of Madagascar vanilla
Instructions:
Warm the plant-based milk on low heat until it the desired warmth for consumption. Mix the dandy, Ceylon cinnamon, and Madagascar vanilla together.
You may be thinking I am not consuming a weed, but the dandelion root has been consumed for thousands of years as herbal medicine to help aid and protect the liver.
The antioxidants in dandelion help to counteract free radicals and assist in liver detoxification. Ceylon cinnamon contains anti-inflammatory agents that help aid inflammation throughout the body. Dandy and Ceylon cinnamon act as two important detoxifying agents in this creamy, satisfying latte.
