This morning I received a newsletter from Ross Bridgeford at LiveEnergized.com with the following recipe to help detoxify the liver, and I happened to think that right now might be a great time for many people to do a full-out cleanse, since you need a couple of days when you can stay home and lay low and that’s actually the norm right now. But if you’re not ready to go that route and want something less stringent, this recipe sounds like it will be a good way to give your liver function a boost. I plan to give it a try soon myself, especially since I haven’t done a formal cleanse in quite awhile…..
When your liver is stressed it affects every area of your health…
But this simple, delicious recipe works so quickly, and so effectively, it can be a huge helping hand…because…
The bottom line is this: you cannot achieve vibrant health with a tired, overworked, out-of-balance liver.
It’s too important and it does too much!
Your liver: cleanses and filters your blood, stores and releases glucose (tired? it could be your liver), removes toxins, metabolizes fat, makes proteins, produces critical hormones and so much more…
Right now, and this could be essential, your liver also fights infections by making immune factors and removing bacteria from the bloodstream…
This recipe is a great start…
It will immediately get to work to support your liver and give you a huge boost.
I have supercharged it with some of the most powerful liver-nourishing ingredients and the combination of nutrients from the garlic, ginger, grapefruit, lemon and oils heals, soothes and detoxifies the liver…
And the taste is refreshing and delicious too!
Liver Cleansing Tonic
Serves 2
Ingredients:
2 large grapefruits 4 lemons 300 ml of filtered water 2 tablespoons of cold-pressed flax oil 1 clove of fresh garlic 2 inches of fresh root ginger A dash of cayenne pepper!
Directions:
Squeeze the juice of the grapefruit and lemon into a blender
Next, grate the garlic and the ginger, and then using a garlic press, squeeze this into the juice
Now add the water, plant-based omega oil and blend for 30 seconds (and add more ginger/garlic to taste)
Why This Recipe Works:
Garlic: contains numerous sulfur-containing compounds that are known to activate the liver enzymes responsible for expelling toxins from the body. Another lies in the presence of both allicin and selenium, two important nutrients that play an integral role in the protection of the liver from damage.
Garlic is also proven to activate cells that specifically protect us from liver cancer, and also to lower cholesterol, prevent fatty liver and so much more.
Ginger: has also shown remarkable abilities to prevent liver damage, scarring and prevent fibroids as well as fatty liver.
Grapefruit: Phytonutrients in grapefruit called limonoids prevent tumor formation by promoting the production of one of the master antioxidants: glutathione-S-transferase.
This detoxifying enzyme ignites a reaction in the liver that helps to make toxic compounds easier to remove from body, protecting the liver (and kidneys) in the process.
Lemons: while also containing the limonoids mentioned above, lemons also supports liver function by strengthening liver enzymes, regulating blood carbohydrate levels and serving as the basis for new enzyme creation.
Omega 3: strongly proven to prevent fatty liver and liver disease, omega 3 is also powerfully anti-inflammatory and helps prevent toxic buildup, thus removing a lot of stress on the liver too.
These delicious, liver-cleansing ingredients will leave you feeling invigorated and your liver feeling nourished and loved.
I urge you to give it a go, and for more delicious cleansing recipes and my full cleanse protocol, check out The Alkaline Reset Cleanse.
