Yes, it's true that the liver is naturally adept at self-cleansing, detoxing the body is its primary job, after all. But there are so many insults in our air, water, and food that this special organ could use a little help. Detoxing can enhance liver function, allowing the body to better remove toxins and improve overall health. So try this simple protocol to clean up that liver, especially after periods of unhealthy eating or drinking like a vacation, illness, or stressfull period at work.
Reduce Toxin Exposure: Start by going all organic and removing all processed foods. Make sure all water and tea is made with water filtered to remove pfas, fluoride, and other chemicals. Minimize exposure to environmental toxins such as pesticides, chemicals, and pollutants.
Get your Glutathione Going: Cruciferous vegetables like broccoli and Brussels sprouts enhance liver detoxification enzymes. Try a glutathione precursor supplement like NAC before bed.
Eliminate Alcohol & Reduce Caffeine: Alcohol is a major toxin that burdens the liver. Don't even think about it! Also suss out if it is hiding in the form of ethanol in various supplements. Caffeine.. we get it. Do your best to scale it back because your body can't detox as well when you have substantial caffeine.
Exercise Regularly: Physical activity improves circulation and promotes sweating, which helps expel toxins. Aim for at least 30 minutes of moderate exercise, such as brisk walking or cycling, most days of the week.
Herbal Supplements: Certain herbs are believed to support liver detoxification. Milk thistle is commonly used for its liver-protective properties. Dandelion root, burdock root, and turmeric supplements can also be beneficial.
Coffee Enema: These are known to increase your natural glutathione as well as open your portal vein to help a quick liver detox. Just be careful to follow all instructions like using organic coffee and allowing it to cool. It would also be a good idea to be sure that you are not sensative or allergic to coffee. Not ready to go full Starbucks up the bum? Try a detox suppository like Xenoplex.
Adequate Sleep: Ensure you get 7-9 hours of quality sleep per night. Sleep is crucial for the body’s repair and detoxification processes.
Liver Packs: Caster oil packs on the liver are said to draw out toxins. Just be sure to use the proper, oranic caster oil and natural fiber pack like this one from Queen of Thrones.
