PREVENTING LIVER DISEASE(Read through, very useful)
In order to prevent the risk of liver disease, there are certain precautions you can take. Here are a few helpful tips.
Drink alcohol moderately. This means one drink a day for women and two a day for men. Heavy drinking is classified as more than eight drinks a week for women and more than 15 a week for men.
Protect yourself. Don’t share needles with other people for any reason. Use a condom or other protection during intimacy. If you get tattoos or piercings done, fully research the shop and look for accreditations before getting work done.
Stay up to date on vaccines. If you’re at a higher risk of contracting hepatitis or if you already have it, make sure you talk to your doctor about getting the hepatitis A and B vaccines.
Monitor your medications. As we said before, some medications can increase the risk of liver disease. Take medication only if you need it and in recommended doses. Never take medications with alcohol or with herbal supplements that you haven’t discussed with your doctor.
Don’t touch other people’s blood or bodily fluids. This can lead to hepatitis or other diseases.
Wear a mask and make sure the room is properly ventilated when using things with toxic chemicals such as insecticides and fungicides. Also, wear long sleeves, gloves, and a hat to protect your skin.
Be mindful of your weight. This is one of the best ways to prevent liver disease, as exercise and a healthy diet will lower your fat percentage and keep you at a healthy weight for your body.
In addition to healing your liver with the methods we mentioned above, we will finally get to the meat of this article: the ultimate detox drink to cleanse and heal your liver!
DETOX DRINK TO CLEAN YOUR LIVER
INGRÉDIENTS
6 cups of water
3 lemons
1 cup chopped parsley
5 stalks of celery
PREPARATION
You can prepare this one of two ways. You can peel and deseed the lemons and blend all the ingredients (except water) in either a blender or a juicer. The blender will keep all the fiber, while a juicer will remove it. You can choose whichever method works best for you depending on your health goals. After blending or juicing the ingredients, add water and run through the machine once again.
BENEFITS OF INGREDIENTS FOR THE LIVER
WATER
Obviously, water is one of the best natural healers on the planet. It’s the easiest and most efficient detox method, because one of water’s main functions is to flush the body of harmful toxins. Keeping your body hydrated will help it perform more efficiently, thus allowing the liver to do its job. Especially if you’ve had a lot of alcohol recently, water can help flush it from your system and give your liver a reboot.
LEMONS
Lemon juice had a protective effect on the body, likely due to the high level of antioxidants. Lemons have many other benefits for the body as well, but for the liver specifically, lemons can help to further detox the body and provide essential nutrients.
PARSLEY
Parsley contains antioxidants such as luteolin, apigenin, lycopene, beta carotene, and alpha carotene. These help to fight free radical damage which can cause cancer. They also lower inflammation in the body. High levels of inflammation have been shown to lead to a number of diseases, including liver disease.
Parsley contains high levels of Vitamins C and A as well. Vitamin C helps to lower inflammation levels and boost gut health, while Vitamin A can help protect against eye disorders and promote skin health. Both of these vitamins will help your immune system in the long run, which can aid your body in protecting you from liver disease.
CELERY
Celery contains vitamins and minerals such as vitamin K, B6, and C, potassium, and folate.
People suffering from liver disease or at risk of developing it, celery, chicory, and barley can have a protective effect.
So, now that we’ve gone over the benefits of the ingredients for this detox drink, we’ll talk about how you should include it in your diet.
HOW TO USE
Drink this juice or smoothie for three days to experience the healing effects. Three times a day, drink at least two glasses. If you want, you can try fasting during this period, or choose to eat light, raw foods if possible. If you choose to fast, make sure to drink plenty of water.
