Love your liver - tips for a cleaner you


Be gentle on yourself with some easy detox tips. An efficient liver function is crucial to health, and to support this process, it is vital that many key nutrients are included in the diet.
· Nourish your liver - eat a variety of whole grains, vegetables, raw nuts, seeds, quality, lean protein. and drink fresh lemon in water 
· Keep things simple - avoid red meats, animal fats, sugars, refined foods, caffeine and alcohol. They burden the system and over-work the liver
· Eat your greens - cruciferous vegetables, such as broccoli, contain idole-3-carbinol needed for effective metabolic clearance of toxins
· Make your plate a rainbow! - for an array of antioxidants
· Minimize your chemical load - opt for organic, unrefined foods to avoid chemical pesticides and  additives and switch to natural skin and body care products
· Relax! - the body cannot effectively rejuvenate without proper relaxation. Set aside some time daily to rest and be silent. Yoga and deep breathing techniques encourage proper relaxation
Like everything in nature, your body is constantly striving to be in a state of balance. Embracing life's sensual pleasures is part of being here in this physical world, so relax, take stock, find your balance. Drink, eat, nourish, detoxify, be healthy, but above all, have fun with it. Encourage your body to be a grander, greater version of itself and delight in the healthy pleasures of life. You will shine.
