Hey!
This post is to explain why it is so vital to ensure your liver health is being supported during your cleanse.
DO NOT SKIP THIS!
Most people who become aware of parasite cleansing, it's necessity and subsequent benefits, usually get keen as, buy the black walnut and clove capsules and789 jump straight in.
Does that even work?
I'm sure some parasite will be targeted and die off yeah, but the essence, the whole point of cleansing, is to not only address the complete life cycle of parasites and WHY they're ABLE to thrive in your body - but to ensure PREVENTION!!!
When we embark on a 12 week parasite cleanse, our livers play a vital role in detoxifying our bodies, and when we're removing toxins, heavy metals and parasites, it's essential to give our livers the support they need to function optimally.
Your liver is a vital organ that plays a central role in detoxification, metabolism, and overall wellbeing.
DETOXIFICATION:
Your liver filters toxins from your blood, helping to remove waste products and chemicals from your body.
METABOLISM:
Your liver metabolizes nutrients, hormones, and medications, ensuring that your body can use them effectively.
IMMUNE FUNCTION :Your liver produces bile, which helps to eliminate toxins and support immune function.
What Happens When Your Liver is Overloaded?
TOXINS BUILD UP :
When your liver is overwhelmed, toxins can build up in your body, leading to fatigue, skin issues, and other health problems.
IMBALANCED HORMONES:
Your liver plays a role in hormone regulation, and when it's not functioning optimally, hormone imbalances can occur.
WEAKENED IMMUNE SYSTEM :
A congested liver can lead to impaired immune function, making you more susceptible to illness.
By prioritising your liver health, you're investing in your overall wellbeing. A healthy liver can help you feel more energized, support your immune system, and even improve your skin and digestion.
Two of my favourite, and most convenient, SUPPORTIVE HERBS for LIVER HEALTH are:
💚MILK THISTLE :
Known for its protective effects on the liver, milk thistle helps to regenerate liver cells and promote bile production. You can take it as a supplement or add it to your tea.
💛DANDELION ROOT :
This herb stimulates digestion and supports liver function by increasing bile production and helping to remove toxins from the body. You can enjoy dandelion root tea or add it to your meals.
🌼I personally enjoy milk thistle in tablet form (it's easy, I'm innately lazy 💁🏻♀️) of a morning, and will sip on dandelion root tea throughout the day.
Pro tip: Replace your morning coffee with dandelion root [don't shoot the messenger 👐😅]
Other Ways to Support Your LIVER include:
- Stay hydrated by drinking plenty of water and lemon water (check my post about lemon water)
- Eat a balanced diet rich in fruits, vegetables, and whole grains
- Limit processed foods and sugars, alcohol and tobacco
- Get enough sleep and manage stress
There will be future posts to address more of these aspects in more detail.
For now, to help prep your body for a cleanse and to build on those foundations of health, take action in assisting your liver to do it's best job.
Remember, no one is perfect! So even if you do have a beer, or maybe too much sugar today, don't let your healthful habits slip; keep hydrated, support you liver anyway!!
You are becoming the person you wish to be, keep those foundations strong, keep focused on the things you DO want.
Love, Light, Truth and Compassion always x
