The liver is the body’s filtration and detoxification system. It filters out toxins and chemicals so they can be eliminated from the body. The liver is also involved in the break-down of dietary fat in the body, so the fatty acids can be absorbed. Unfortunately, increased exposure to pollution, additives, preservatives, chemicals and alcohol, as well as a poor diet, can take its toll on this important organ. We can minimise the pressure on our liver by drinking plenty of water, eating lots of fresh fruit and vegetables and reducing processed foods and alcohol.
However, even with a healthy diet and lifestyle, our liver may sometimes need a little support and TLC. Before you embark on the latest fad in an attempt to rid your body of toxins, consider nourishing your liver so that it can function better. Milk Thistle supports the liver’s detoxification pathways, while providing some digestive support as well.
Our liver is essential to our health, but supporting its function doesn’t have to mean complicated and draining fasts. Some herbal support could be just what you need to get your liver back on track.
