Love your Liver(You need it to live) We should all rejuvenate our relationship with our liver today! I read in one of my professional magazines that by the age of thirty, your liver is probably functioning at 75 percent of its ability. This football-sized organ is meant to process two quarts of blood every minute of our lives and carry out over 500 vital body functions — more than any other organ. It's up to our liver to protect us from environmental pollutants — like over a billion pounds of pesticides and herbicides sprayed on our food annually; 13,000 chemicals and solvents added to our food supply each year; harmful metals from cigarette smoke; mercury dental fillings; tin cans; aluminum in cookware, cosmetics and antacids; toxic compounds in prescription drugs/vaccinations, drinking water and personal products. Besides all of the above, your liver must process everything you eat or drink assembling over 50,000 enzymes in systems that stimulate chemical reactions all over the body digesting and converting fuel into usable nutrients in precise timed sequence. Whew, I'm exhausted just writing about it! A growing waistline is a good indication of a sluggish liver where every organ in your body can be compromised, and weight loss effort is blocked. Chronic headache, fatigue or extreme reactions to environmental toxins usually mean that optimal supplements and nutrition are needed to keep all systems running smoothly. Eat foods from the cabbage family. Be sure your B and C vitamin levels are high and get enough high-quality protein. NingXia Red is particularly helpful for proper liver function, many discovered even before recent research indicated so. The liver's endurance and tenacity continues long after damage has been ongoing, so blood testing often shows no abnormalities until the liver is in deep trouble. To determine the true health of this important organ and have control statistics, ask your integrative health practitioner for a salivary caffeine and urinary hippurate clearance test that measures decreased capacity for specific substance detoxification. Each and every day your liver does things to prove its dedication to your well-being. It stores nutrients, digests food, regulates blood sugar and a million other things to show its devotion. So start loving it back; you owe it a whole lot, and the release will lighten its load actually making you happier. Because it's extremely difficult to determine the condition of the liver — up to 75% of it can be destroyed before it ceases to function - we can all assume varying degrees of liver dysfunction and take immediate steps to remedy the situation with the Re-Juva-Nate Kit from Young Living. It contains three effective products plus informative booklet and CD to help in your detoxification plan to renewed energy and a slimmer silhouette. |
