Top 5 Foods for Liver Health & Why It Matters

The liver is our body’s largest organ and has over 500 vital functions – the most important, I believe, is it’s responsibility for cleaning the body. It has to neutralize every toxin, chemical, pollutant, and micro-organism that enters the system.

It wasn’t until working in a metabolic testing lab that I understood just how critical it is for us to FOCUS on the health of our liver as one of the primary foundations of our health.

Among it’s many jobs, the liver also must clean and filter the blood, eliminate metabolic waste (the natural byproduct of your metabolic reactions), and neutralize environmental toxins that are fat soluble, not water soluble.

(BTW – environmental toxins are one of the MAIN reasons many people carry stubborn weight in their thighs, hips and abs they cannot shed).

Unfortunately with the nature of our food supply, and the tens of thousands of toxins and chemicals in the environment, our liver is bombarded every moment of the day with crap to deal with! It is TAXED to the MAX!

As a result, it becomes congested & backed up, and our body is unable to clean itself. What results is symptoms like lethargy, insomnia, excess weight, depression, skin blemishes, anger, fatigue…. and that’s only if we are lucky!

Just like we have to change the oil in our car, we also must care for our liver by eating the right foods and clearing the congestion three times a year thru proper detox. (FYI – Our next group cleanse starts May 15th, and is the perfect kick start to better health and a bikini, summer ready bod).

Cleansing & plant based nutrition are the perfect combo to safeguard health and reverse many health challenges. Below are the top 5 foods to easily add to your diet to be proactive and start caring for your liver:

1. Dark Leafy Greens
2. Cruciferous Vegetables
3. Cabbage
4. Avocado
5. Garlic

Easy enough right? Add a little bit of the above everyday, and these benefits will go a long way!
