12.01.2022 4 easy steps you can follow to support your liver, regain balance and maintain a healthy body. 1. Go Heavy on the H2O Drinking enough water and keeping yourself properly hydrated is a great way to support... your liver. Water helps flush out toxins from the body, assisting the normal cleansing process and promoting optimal liver function. Dehydration on the other hand, can impede the body’s ability to detoxify itself, making the liver slow and sluggish. Avoid energy drinks, alcohol and excess caffeine as these can cause or worsen dehydration. 2. Work on your balancing act A balanced diet can make all the difference when it comes to improving your liver health. Make sure you’re eating whole foods rich in nutrients, antioxidants, fibre and good fats. Foods like garlic, brussels sprouts, broccoli, rocket, fish, and fresh citrus fruits are great liver supporters. Avoid consuming processed foods and meals that are high in sugar, saturated fats and refined carbs (eg. white bread and pasta). While other cells in the body can metabolise glucose, only the liver can break down fructose, and if you have too much the liver can become fatty. Try also limiting your alcohol consumption as excessive drinking can severely damage the liver. 3. Get your body moving Exercise and physical activity, in general, support the body’s natural detoxification pathways. Regular exercise is essential to maintain overall health and wellbeing. A minimum of 45 minutes of physical activity, three times a week, combining both aerobic exercise like walking or swimming, as well as anaerobic exercise like weight training, is recommended to support a healthy liver and general wellness. 4. Nourish your gut. The good bacteria in your gut can impact many areas of your health, including your liver. Eating fermented foods and taking good quality probiotic supplements can encourage a healthy and balanced gut microbiome. Avoid eating foods that can cause inflammation in the gut such as refined sugars and alcohol. Did you know? The liver is the only organ that can grow back when part of it has been damaged or removed. #loveyourliver #newyeardetox
