Why is liver function so important for women?
It’s because the liver must remove excess estrogen. If the liver is not functioning correctly it cannot perform this vital function.
Excess estrogen can lead to nasty problems like breast cancer.
Good Healthy Foods
Few people realize the huge impact an overloaded liver can have on their body.
The liver acts as the “oil filter” of the body. It filters out toxins, bacteria, and viruses from your bloodstream via your intestines. It kills or otherwise renders these dangerous items harmless then expels them.
These cleansing functions require a balanced healthy diet to supply the nutrients involved in this process. That is why seeking healthy foods to eat is vitally important for health maintenance.
You can use these simple guidelines to eat healthy.
Healthy Eating Guidelines
Healthy eating guidelines are easy to remember making it easy to formulate a healthy diet plan for you and your family.
Here are simple-to-remember guidelines you can use at every meal:
1. Eat at least 5 (preferably more) servings of raw vegetables and fresh fruit every day.
2. Consume whole grain products such as bread, pasta, and cereal (both hot and cold cereals) instead of refined grain products.
3. Limit your daily protein consumption to a piece of meat about the size of a pack of playing cards.
4. Drink lots of pure water to flush toxins from your body. Your body needs water but not coffee, soda, or juice. Give it the water it needs in the pure form it prefers.
These are the basics that will make it easy for you to find healthy foods to eat.
Healthy Detox Diet
In addition to a healthy diet meal plan a nutrient-rich liver detoxification program is mandatory. If you do not pull your body out of the nutritional deficit it is in then your liver will never be able to “catch up” and begin functioning correctly.
Continuing to consume some of these nutritional supplements on a daily basis will allow you to easily maintain your weight and health.
