Every person’s health and well-being
is dependent on how their body removes and purges toxins from the body. With
all the environmental pollution, toxic body care products and processed foods,
most people are in desperate need of a serious detox! A liver cleanse
is a great way to do this.
One of the main ways that the body
rids itself of toxins is through the liver. In fact, the
liver is one of the hardest working organs in the body. It works tirelessly to detoxify our blood, produce the bile needed to digest fat, break down hormones,
and store essential vitamins, minerals and iron. And when the liver is
not functioning optimally, we cannot digest our food properly, especially fats!
Some of the essential functions of
the liver include:
· Processing nutrients absorbed by the
intestines so they are more efficiently
absorbed.
·
Regulating blood composition to
balance protein, fat and sugar.
·
Destroying old red blood cells
·
Producing essential chemicals to help
blood clot properly.
·
Breaking down and metabolizing of
alcohol and medications.
·
Producing essential proteins and
cholesterol.
·
Removing toxins from the blood stream
including bilirubin, ammonia and
others.
·
Storing of minerals, iron and Vitamin
A.
For the liver to take care of the
body, it must be able to perform optimally.
When most people think of liver disease, they think only of
alcohol-induced cirrhosis. Cirrhosis is a serious health condition, but
contrary to popular thought, alcoholism is not the only cause.
In fact, there are a number of
factors that can lead to cirrhosis of the liver and liver damage including
eating uncooked shellfish, some medications (including acetaminophen), chronic
malnutrition, eating poisonous wild mushrooms, and exposure to chemicals.
Cirrhosis occurs when scar tissue replaces the healthy cells in the
liver. As the scar tissue continues to grow, the liver’s ability to function is
diminished. Liver failure is the next biological step and occurs when the scar
tissue has created so much damage, it no longer functions.

Some tips for Liver Cleanse
Here are the 6 steps for my liver cleanse:
Remove Toxic Foods From Your Diet
If you are eating a diet high in processed foods, you are
putting the health of your liver at risk.Hydrogenated
oils, refined sugar, convenience foods and lunch meats are notoriously toxic to
your system. Simply Stay away from smoking, Alcohol , all Sodas and processed
food. For example, added nitrates and nitrites, commonly found in convenience
foods, fast foods and lunch meats, have been linked to serious health
conditions.
These chemicals are used to preserve foods to make them last
longer, inhibit bacteria growth and preserve color. Replace these foods
immediately with healthy choices.
Healthy foods taste great, and with a bit of creativity, you can create
healthful meals for your family.
Replace chips and other processed snacks with fresh fruit,
carrot sticks, nuts and homemade nuts bars.
Hydrogenated oils, also known as ‘trans fats,’ have higher
levels of saturated fat. The chemical structure of the oil itself has been
altered to increase shelf life. Consumption of trans fats dramatically
increases the risk for heart disease by 25% or more. In addition, it is
believed that trans fats cause problems with our immune system and can lead to
inflammation throughout the body. Use organic coconut oil, Ghee or organic Gingili
oil.
Drink Raw Vegetable Juice
It can be
nearly impossible to eat all of the raw vegetables you need to make
your liver cleanse effective. However, by juicing a variety of raw
vegetables, you can easily get the 4-5 servings of fresh, organic vegetables
you need. Even vegetables that aren’t your favorites can be disguised and
enjoyed in a fresh vegetable juice.
With impaired liver function, juicing vegetables has the added benefit of making the
vegetables easier to digest, and more readily available for absorption.
Vegetables
ideal for a liver cleanse include cabbage, cauliflower, and Brussels sprouts.
While that combination may not sound very enjoyable, you can add other
vegetables that you enjoy to the mix including carrots, cucumber, beets and
greens.
All of these vegetables help to reduce acid levels in the body,
helping to create a more friendly pH balance. Experiment with your favorite
flavor combinations; you can add fresh herbs including parsley, mint and others
to make the juices more enjoyable.
Try my kid-friendly Orange Carrot
Ginger Juice. Fresh, organic carrots are essential to any liver cleanse (5). In the liver, the
beta-carotene is converted into Vitamin A to help flush out the toxins in the
body while reducing fat in the liver.
The high
fiber content helps support a healthy digestive tract, hastening the
elimination of toxins in your body. The ginger root helps to soothe the
digestive tract, reduce intestinal gas, and has strong anti-inflammatory
compounds. The fresh oranges in this recipe not only add tangy sweetness, but
also add significant Vitamin C, additional Vitamin A and Vitamin B-6.
Load Up On Potassium Rich Foods
Are you getting the recommended 4,700 milligrams per day of
potassium? Chances are, you aren’t. Potassium-rich foods help to lower systolic
blood pressure, lower cholesterol and support a healthy cardiovascular system,
in addition to helping cleanse your liver. If you have been tempted to take
potassium supplements, instead add these healthful foods to your diet.
Sweet Potatoes
Surprisingly, it is not the banana that is the richest in
potassium. It is the sweet potato. A single medium sweet potato contains nearly
700 milligrams of potassium, not to mention the high fiber and beta-carotene
content.
A sweet potato only has 131 calories, yet is rich with Vitamins
B-6, C, D, magnesium and iron. While naturally sweet, the sugars actually are
slowly released into the bloodstream through the liver, without causing a spike
in blood sugar.
Tomato
Sauces
Potassium, and the other beneficial nutrients in tomatoes, is
significantly concentrated as a sauce, puree or as a paste. As an example, 1
cup of tomato puree contains 1065 milligrams of potassium, where 1 cup of fresh
tomatoes, contains only 400 milligrams. When selecting tomato sauce, paste or
puree, be sure to choose those made only from organic tomatoes.
To make your own concentrated tomato sauce, slice organic
tomatoes in half and roast face down in the oven for 30 minutes at 425 degrees,
until the skin has shriveled. Remove from oven, and let cool. Slide the skins
off and gently crush in your food processor or blender. Strain to remove seeds,
if you desire. Pour into a Dutch oven, and let simmer until thick 1 to 2 hours.
Beet
Greens and Spinach
Rich in anti-oxidants, beet greens contain over 1300 milligrams
of potassium per cup. Add beets and beet greens to your fresh vegetable juice
recipe, finely chop and add raw to salads, or sauté lightly, like other greens.
Beets also naturally cleanse the gallbladder and improve bile flow. Fresh
organic spinach is easily added to your diet, and is a good source of
potassium, containing 840 milligrams per serving.
Beans
White beans, kidney beans and lima beans are all rich with
potassium, protein and fiber. Swap out one of these potassium rich beans for
garbanzo beans in your favorite hummus recipe, and eat with carrot sticks and celery
sticks.
Incorporate
blackstrap molasses into your diet by replacing other natural sweeteners
with it, to create barbeque sauces, and to top oatmeal or quinoa porridge in
the mornings. 2 teaspoons added to coffee intensifies the richness of the
coffee, while lowering the acidic taste.
Bananas
And
finally, add a banana to your favorite smoothie. While in comparison to the
other high potassium foods on this list, the banana’s 470 milligrams of
potassium
Turmeric
Turmeric reduces joint pain, is an
effective anti-depressant, aids in digestion, helps to restore a healthy blood
sugar balance, and supports healthy liver tissue and liver metabolism (7).
Currently, researchers are studying turmeric for a variety of health
benefits for diseases and conditions including Alzheimer’s disease, cancer,
depression, osteoarthritis, breast health, prostate health and chronic pain.
Eat Real Liver or liver friendly
herbs.
Liver from young, healthy, grass-fed cattle or chicken liver is rich
with Vitamins A and B, folic acid, choline, iron, copper, zinc, chromium and
CoQ10. Liver is one of the most nutrient-dense foods we can eat.
If you can’t stomach eating liver, use appropriate herbs. For example கிழாநெல்லி, கரிசலாங்கண்ணி, வெள்ளரி, கொத்துமல்லி தழை, இஞ்சி, ஆர்கானிக் மஞ்சள் பொடி
with இயற்கைத் தேன்.
புகை - மது ஆகியவற்றிலிருந்து முழுமையாக வெளியேறுங்கள்.
இஞ்சி, எலுமிச்சை, தூய மஞ்சள் பொடி, கிடைத்தால் செலரி கீரை அல்லது நாட்டு கொத்து மல்லித்தழை இவற்றை காலையில் ஜூஸாகவோ salad ஆகவோ எடுத்துக் கொள்ளுங்கள். சுத்தமான தேனில் கலந்து குடிக்கவும்.
வெள்ளைச் சர்க்கரையை கூடுமானவரை தவிர்த்து விடுங்கள்.
காலையில் பல் விளக்கும் போது, கண்களை கழுவுங்கள். இதற்காக விற்கும் குப்பிகளைப் பயன் படுத்தலாம்.
கரிசலாங்கன்னி கீரை, கீழா நெல்லிக்கீரை ஆகியவற்றை பச்சையம் போகாத அளவிற்கு வேகவைத்து கூட்டு செய்து சாப்பிடுங்கள்.
இது தவிர மோர் பயன் படுத்துங்கள். அது ஈரலுக்கு மிக நல்லது..
