Our dynamic lifestyle sometimes puts enormous strain on our bodies and nervous systems. Many people around the world cannot rest properly these days, and this happens every day. You feel tired and strained every day, have back pain, high cholesterol, bloating, increased susceptibility to infectious diseases and even itchy skin from time to time. Do you also know this condition? Or some symptoms of it? Have you already asked yourself why this is? Because these can be the consequences of an overloaded liver! That's why we want to talk together today about different options for liver detoxification before it gets too late!
The liver is a particularly important organ because a healthy liver in most cases means a healthy body. It regulates our cholesterol levels and fat digestion, and produces hormones and enzymes. But their functions do not end there. The liver is our number 1 detoxification organ; its job is to filter all toxins from the blood and render them harmless. Only when it works properly can we feel good, be healthy and active. Isn't that the most desired wish of every human being - to be healthy and active?
Our answer to this vital question is: best through a balanced,healthy eating. Today we are presenting you with a 2-week detoxification plan. What you can and should eat and drink is shown below:
