| Many of us spent
4-5 weeks of the Holiday season over-eating, over-drinking and
under-exercising. What is the best way to get our body and health back on
track? In one word — DETOXIFY. Our
body is constantly detoxifying: breaking down waste products, chemicals,
and bacterial byproducts.
The major chemical factory of the body is
the LIVER. This is backed by the excretory organs of the skin, and
intestines, and the filtering organs, the spleen and kidney.
Good health requires a healthy liver.
Efforts to detoxify our body requires an understanding of the liver to
know how we can maintain good health.
Things we can do to
detoxify:
- Stop alcohol consumption
- Take a high potency multiple
vitamin/mineral
- At least 500mg of vitamin C per day
- Milk thistle (Silymarin) protects the
liver
- Water-soluble fiber: apple, pear,
psillium seed
- Lipotropic agents: Betaine, Choline,
Methionine, B6, Folic Acid, B12
- 3-day Juice Fast: Friday to Sunday (so
you can rest on the weekend):
3-4 FRESH vegetable and fruit juice meals (8-12 oz) per day
- Support the nerve supply to the liver
with Chiropractic care
