Supporting Your Liver & Detoxification

WE COULD ALL USE A DETOX

The liver plays a big role in detoxification, along with the kidneys, large intestine, and lymphatic system. Many of the foods we eat, liquids we drink, and products we use are putting a burden on our bodies’ detoxification systems. Over time, toxins can build up and lead to disease. It’s important to manage this before it gets to that point, so here are some tips to lower your allostatic load and keep your body’s systems firing on all cylinders. These pointers can help your body detox by flushing toxins, reducing inflammation and balancing hormones.
