Detoxify your liver with the right foods!
Detoxify your liver, the organ that starts all the purification processes in our organism & regenerate it with the right foods & right combinations.
Not everyone knows that our liver has a primary role in our body, & takes care of transformation processes for example:
- produces platelets (essential for blood coagulation),
- glycogen synthesis (the fuel for our muscles)
- Transforms & stores food fat & protein & turns them into sugar
- changes fat-soluble toxins into water-soluble molecules so that they can be disposed of through kidneys & urine
- regulates digestione
- purifies our blood
When the famous season change tireness arrives, it is probable that our liver requires purification. Infact when our liver is in perfect condition it gives health & wellbeing to all our organism, increasing our defences & giving us more strength.
Which signs show that our liver requires cleansing?
There are many amongst which:
- Frequent tummy swelling
- difficulty in digestion & halitosis (bad breath)
- you wake up in the morning feeling already tired
- frequent headaches
- you feel tired after a meal & have difficulty in concentrating
- you sleep bedly & wake up in the middle of the night
- sudden mood instability
When our liver is “dirty” it does not perform well & hence does not allow our bowel to work correctly either, causing also constipation & dybiosis with intestinal bloating & pain.
We can help ourselves at table thanks to foods that help our liver cleanse itself & free itself from all the toxins accumulated, especially in spring when our liver needs it most after the long & tough winter; at this point we require vitamins, minerals, enzymes & fibre which are all present in fresh fruit & vegetables, best if consumed raw, there are some that are particularly suitable such as:
- GRAPEFRUIT & APPLES (they are hepatoprotective, rich in vitamin C & glutathione a molecule thats help liver in cleansing)
- CABBAGE (rich in sulphur)
- ARTICHOKES & ASPARAGUS (are excellent cleansera, rich in bitter & draining principles, help bile function, and fight excessive cholesterol, diuretic)
- CHICORY, ENDIVE & WATERCRESS (have a great diuretic power)
- CARROTS & BEETS (are rich in betacarotene)
- BLUE FISH (rich in Omega 3 fat, useful anti-inflammatory for liver & intestines)
- QUINOA & BARLEY (drain our liver, emollient & refreshing)
- KARKADE’ & GREEN TEA (purify our bile & are rich in antioxidants)
- TURMERIC & GINGER (help demolish fatty liver)
Naturally these foods are helpful, but others can worsen the situation so if we want to cleanse & purify our liver we must limit the use of:
-alcohol, fried food, lard & precooked salsas
-excessive salt
-foods with artificial colouring & preservatives
-white sugar & artificial sweeteners
-artificial flavours (aromas)
-red meat & cold cuts
