Winter is the season when our bodies typically accumulate weight. Don’t wait for spring to get back to a healthier routine.
Now is the time to kick start a simple and safe program to help your body get rid of unwanted contaminants. Advancements today are giving us a broad range of lifestyle habits, foods and supplements to help the body do this more effectively.
Unwanted substances, for example, can enter our bodies through what we ingest and even the products we put on our skin. While the liver metabolizes these substances, it is always a good idea to support its function by making small changes to your lifestyle. Remember to always consult with your health care practitioner when you are making changes to your diet. Here has a few suggestions:
Help your digestion
In order to promote a healthy digestive tract and healthy liver function, remember to get enough fiber and drink at least eight cups of water throughout the day. Staying regular and clearing your body of waste makes room for the healthy foods and nutrients you want.
Complement your diet
There are many natural supplements that can help you get back on track with your health goals. Milk thistle contains the unique flavonoid silymarin, which is an antioxidant that may help increase glutathione (an important liver detoxifier) levels in the liver cells. Other antioxidants, such as vitamin C and vitamin E, play a vital role in the detoxification process at the cellular level.
