Natural Liver Detox - Ron Kness - Bog

We live in a world that is chocked-full of toxins be it in the air we breathe, our food, our water... so much so that their entrance into our bodies has become unavoidable. Exposure to these toxins requires that all of the organs in your body work in synergy to maintain homeostasis - meaning everything needs to be in a certain balance in order to function optimally. If the function of one organ or system goes awry, the others will also be affected. Your liver and kidneys play a vital role of filtering toxins out of your body, but your liver has an additional function of breaking down the present toxins in order to expel them from your body. This enzymatic process occurs in two phases - breaking down the toxins and bonding these broken parts to other molecules that destroy the toxic substances and expel them from your body through sweat, urine and fecal matter. When the liver becomes overburdened or overworked due to chronic exposure to toxins via the environment, diet, smoking, alcohol use, lack of sleep or poor stress management, it can slow down and cause a back-up of toxins in your system. This can impact many other systems and organs in your body resulting in various symptoms. In this book we show you the signs that your liver may be struggling, how to set up a detox plan and the foods to eat to help keep it operating at optimal efficiency.
