Does your liver need a detox?

Fats

Fats are important to stimulate bile, reduce gallstones, and reduce inflammation. Essential fatty acids are found in fish, nuts, seeds, olive oil, and grass-fed meat. Avoid trans fats (found in many packaged snacks and fast foods) and deep fried foods.

Exercise

Find something within your capabilities that you enjoy and move your body most days.

Reduce toxins

Sugar is closely associated with metabolic syndrome and liver disease. Reduce refined sugar and eat fruit or natural sugars as an alternative. Look out for chemical food additives in all processed foods: colours, flavours, and preservatives, and choose natural food products. If possible, eat organic foods which are free from herbicides and pesticides. Use natural cleaning products in your home, as well as personal cleaning products and cosmetics. Drinking filtered or spring water is preferred and spend time in nature breathing in the fresh air.
