My guess is most all of you have heard of doing a liver detox or a liver cleanse before. It’s such a common thing to hear that some people have even begun to roll their eyes any time a cleanse of any sort is advised.

As of late, there’s been a great deal of debate concerning the role of detoxification (or cleanses) for health. There are a number of people who talk about cleanses and detoxes as if they’re quackery and not needed; after all, we have built-in filtering mechanisms which take care of the detoxification process for us.

In a sense, they’re correct. We do have built-in detox systems, so there’s no need to perform a detox or a cleanse.

On the other hand, the idea behind taking herbs and supplements to help support the organs responsible for detoxification is actually medically sound and recommended, despite what the naysayers might argue.

The liver is crucial to this detoxification process; that’s because it’s your body’s main filtering organ, and it’s doing all the dirty work of eliminating toxins while you go about your day-to-day business.

And considering we live in a dirty world, it really does need all the help it can get to make the process of detoxification easier.

Let me show you how this works, along with a few way to help give your liver the support it needs.

Here’s Why Your Liver Could Use Some Extra Help

If I were to give you the functional breakdown of the liver’s detoxification process like I heard it in med school, I’d imagine you’d be bored within a few moments.

So to keep things simple, I just want you to think of your liver as the air filter in your car. Air, not oil.

Because we live in a world full of environmental toxins (88,000 chemical toxins have been identified by watchdog organizations), your liver (air filter) is constantly bombarded with organic and inorganic items to expel.

While your liver does a fine job of converting these toxins into less harmful compounds to be excreted later, over time the workload can be overwhelming. This process can be so taxing on your liver it eventually becomes clogged (that is, of course, if no support or help is given to the liver while it’s being subjected to a bombardment of nasty toxins).

To help the liver deal more effectively with these toxins (and to help it clean itself out more efficiently) you can provide it with simple tools for the job.

That’s what I want to bring to your attention today: simple, effective tools to help get your liver in tip-top shape so you remain healthy and the detox process stays as easy as possible.

Simple Things You Can Do To Help Boost Your Liver’s Detox Ability 

The first things I’ll cover are the behaviors and activities you can do to help give your liver a boost.

The best part is some of these are 100% FREE.

• Eliminate your intake of alcohol:  I’ll be blunt. Alcohol might be fun to drink, but it’s quite harmful for your liver. Avoid it (or at the very least reduce intake to 1 drink a day) and your liver will love you.
• Exercise and cut weight: If your BMI is out of the normal range, you need to lose weight. Doing so helps reduce the amount of fat in your liver, which allows it to work like it was designed to. Fat in the liver occurs as a result of being fat, and losing weight is one of the best ways to ensure your liver isn’t a fatty liver!
• Stop eating inflammatory foods and heal leaky gut: Man, I hate leaky gut; it’s a scourge among people who eat a Standard American Diet, and it wrecks our health. It’s because of this I have to recommend you stop eating inflammatory foods, as they’re a major contributing factor to liver problems.

  I would recommend getting rid of gluten, dairy, soy, sugar, processed trans-fats, MSG, and artificial ingredients of any kind. Also, ensuring your omega-3 to omega-6 intake ratio is at 3-to-1 will help combat the effects of inflammatory food consumption.

• Avoid exposure to toxic chemicals. This is a hard task to manage, but whatever you can do to avoid toxic chemical exposure will help. This includes reducing your dependency on cosmetics and other items placed on the skin containing known carcinogens, as well as reducing the amount of time spent with or around dangerous toxins.

That’s a good start.

But what do you do if you can’t accomplish all these goals, but are still determined to do everything in your power to ensure your liver has all the support it needs in a dangerous and toxic world?

My advice: make sure your diet is entirely focused on foods that’ll support your liver health.

The good news is this is an extremely easy thing to do.

These Foods Help Support Liver Health

Part of the reason why I gave you the advice I did is there’s a long list of foods that work synergistically with your liver to help it function.

Here’s a small sample of foods and herbs that’ll help:

• Oranges
• Nectarines
• Blueberries
• Raspberries
• Walnuts
• Kale
• Broccoli 
• Brussel Sprouts
• Avocados 
• Garlic
• Milk Thistle
• Basil
• Dandelion Root
• Artichoke Heart
• Turmeric
• Schisandra (berry) 
• Scute (root)
• Barberry Root
• Onions
• Lean meats

And so much more.

Essentially, if the food is non-allergenic and is plant or meat-based, it’s likely beneficial for your liver.

And while my preference is all of you would arrange your diet and lifestyle in such a way that it revolves entirely around your liver health, I know that’s not possible for many of you.

After all, even small, day-to-day activities (such as a wedding that gave you a little too many opportunities at the snack bar) get in the way of strengthening your liver.

I honestly believe strengthening and supporting your liver can be achieved without supplementation.

However, with that being said (and knowing how many people out there could use an added boost) I recommend NOW Foods Liver Detoxifier and Regenerator (recently changed the name to Liver Refresh).

This particular supplement is great at supplying your body with a wide range of herbs and antioxidants which have been shown to work synergistically with the liver and support it while it excretes toxins from your body.

If you want to see everything packed inside this tiny capsule (this includes herbs scientifically proven to help the liver out in times of stress, and antioxidants which help eliminate toxins) just follow this link.

This supplement is my go-to response when anyone asks me about additional ways to support their liver.

Again, considering how many toxins there are in the world, how much bad food we eat, how much sleep we don’t get, and how many times we just don’t have time to treat ourselves right, I can’t help but recommend this.
