"Every time you lose you die a little bit. You die inside... a portion of you. Not all of y our organs. Maybe just your liver." - George Allen
Your marvelously sophisticated body systems that work hard to nuke nasties and eliminate toxins, include your lungs, liver, kidney, intestines, lymph, and skin. When toxins are not expelled from the body, they remain in fat cells, tissues, and bones.
Today we’ll focus on your liver, which is the largest internal organ in your body and as your main toxic filtration system, could do with your help.
How Well Do You Know Your Liver?
Here are some fascinating liver facts that you need to appreciate to provide the support it needs.
Understand first, that anything that we swallow, absorb, or inhale has to be filtered by the liver. So, your liver never sleeps. 24/7, year in and year out, the liver is responsible for converting toxins into water-soluble chemicals that your body tries to expel via urination and perspiration.
In a perfect world, that would be all that’s needed. But, today’s levels of pollution in the soil that grows our food, the water we drink, and the air we breathe cause a toxic overload despite efforts to live a healthy life.
Lymphatic & Glymphatic Systems - Smooth Operators
Your lymphatic system removes toxins and waste from the body on a cellular level, but that doesn’t include your brain. Toxins from your brain are transported to the liver by the glymphatic system.
A ten-fold increase in the body’s detox activity occurs during sleep, which once again supports how vital getting sufficient sleep is to your health and well-being.
Liver Fast Facts
The consumption of junk food, toxic food ingredients, and bad cooking practice contributes to one in five early deaths worldwide.
The use of antibiotics is associated with heavy metal accumulation in the body. Also, industrial pollutants and industrial processes elevate concentrations of lead, arsenic, cadmium, and mercury in our water and air. There’s no getting away from it is there?
Did you know?
- It is common for makeup products, skincare products, and nail polishes to contain heavy metals like aluminium, cadmium, lead, mercury, and more!
- Unless made from essential oils, your aftershave or perfume is likely loaded with toxic chemical synthetics.
- The guarantee of no armpit sweat may sound fantastic, but the metals used to achieve it leech into the skin and contribute to serious diseases such as breast cancer.
For the Sake of Your Liver
Even if you can’t completely avoid it, reduce drinking anything from aluminium cans. Yes, we know they’re supposed to be coated inside but that coating contains industrial chemicals, such as BPA (bisphenol A) which has been linked to infertility, obesity, heart disease, type 2 diabetes, and cancer.
Consuming beverages from aluminium cans immediately causes high blood pressure, according to studies. Teach your children these realities so that they too make informed choices.
Red Alert: BPA is used to manufacture hard plastics, including drinking water bottles and many household items. No point in drinking purified water out of plastic bottles that leech BPA. Look underneath for a triangle that needs to display either a 1, or a 7 which are the only ones that don’t leech!
Amalgam Dental Fillings Leech Mercury
Whoever thought of dental fillings made from heavy-metal amalgam probably had its antibacterial properties in mind. But within a decade, more than half of the mercury content in amalgam fillings will have been absorbed into the body.
Think of how many children are born with heavy metal already in their systems from mothers with amalgam fillings. Here are some signs of toxicity in children.
- Anxiety
- Mood swings
- Sensory issues
- Sleep disturbance
- Chronic bedwetting
- Symptoms of ADHD
- Autoimmune disease
- Compromised Immune system
Three Countermeasures Your Liver will Love
- Go organic and focus on plant-based eating wherever possible. Watch your use of plastic and aluminium beverage containers. Cilantro and parsley are known to remove heavy metals from the body, so use them lavishly in fresh salads and garnishes.
- Breathing techniques help release toxins effortlessly, while simultaneously increasing your metabolism and fat-burning capacity.
- Regularly detox with Ultimate Rewind Spray or add Zeolite powder to your family’s smoothies to totally eradicate whatever toxins might have accumulated in the body!
