Your liver is responsible for processing toxins in the body, so it’s important to keep it well looked after. There’s a range of factors that can affect how well your liver works, but most often, lifestyle choices simply catch up with us.

A liver detox will cleanse your body. It will significantly improve your overall vitality, so you’ll look and feel much better. It can also help increase your energy levels, stimulate weight loss, improve your immune system and eliminate liver stones.

So, why not get started with our top tips to help restore your liver today?

• Limit alcohol consumption. Alcohol harms the body and puts stress on the liver. Even if we stick to a healthy diet and only drink occasionally, it’s very important to know your limits and never over-do it.

• Eat good fats. Your liver is responsible for producing bile that breaks down fats, so be sure to include healthy fats in your diet like almonds, coconut, walnuts, hemp, chia, flax, pumpkin and sunflower seeds, olives and avocado.

• Eat herbs that can stimulate liver detoxification. There are a variety of herbs that can support liver detoxification. Try incorporating chicory root, dandelion root, peppermint leaf or turmeric into your diet. These herbs assist in the removal of toxins from the liver and stimulate the production of bile, a vital component to digestion and good health.

• Drink lots of water and add some lemon. Try drinking a large glass of warm water with lemon every morning. By using warm water, more of the natural juices and oils will be released from the lemon. D-limonene, found in lemon, has been shown to activate enzymes in the liver that lead to detoxification. This approach will not only help your liver, it will get your metabolism moving first thing in the morning. 

By following these simple steps, will help your liver reduce toxic build-up and restore its wellbeing.
