This video is about Best Foods for Liver Detoxification
Riding the body of toxins introduced through our environment and our food systems is a vital part of maintaining a healthy body. Central to this is eating foods that we know help to detoxify and avoid fatty liver syndrome. Additionally, having a basic understanding of how our primary detoxification organs function is helpful.
Let’s begin with the liver, which is the largest internal organ. Essentially, the liver acts as a filter for our blood collecting dead cells, rounding up chemicals, and harmful foreign invading microorganisms. The liver neutralizes all of these. The liver then can remove the items either through reabsorption into the bloodstream or via the kidneys for removal. The liver accomplishes most of this work by using specific enzymes. The kidneys play an essential role as well.
The kidneys receive filtered blood from the liver. It filters harmful chemicals, dangerous microorganisms, and re-cleans the blood from the liver. During this process, it reabsorbs valuable nutrients while excreting unwanted compounds through the urine. There are specific foods that are excellent detoxifiers.
