5 Lifestyle Changes To Heal Your Liver
1. Remove refined sugar and alcohol from your diet,
including candy bars, fruit juices, soda drinks, sweets, ice cream and liquor.
These foods trigger insulin resistance in your body,
which causes fat to accumulate in your liver.
You should also cut back on grains and flour based foods like bread, pasta, biscuits and cereal.
These refined carbohydrates
quickly turn into sugar and cause harm to your liver if you eat them too often.
2. Eat lots of organic cruciferous vegetables daily, such as kale, collard greens, broccoli,
brussels sprouts, cabbage and cauliflower. These foods are loaded with plant compounds
that reduce inflammation in the liver and help it to heal itself naturally.
3. Start taking digestive enzyme capsules before each meal.
Make sure to choose a brand which contains ox bile, or purified bile salts
This helps to protect your fatty liver from developing in cirrhosis,
which is the accumulation of scar tissue.
These supplements assist your liver in making bile, a liquid that breaks down fat in the body.
4. Eat all of your meals in a shorter window of time during the day. This is called intermittent
fasting and allows your body to rest and digest so that the liver may start to heal.
Fasting for longer periods also helps your body to produce stem cells
that regenerate liver tissue, reduce inflammation in the liver cells and prevent scarring.
5. Exercise for 10 minutes a day using High
Intensity Interval Training. This involves bringing up your heart rate for quick bursts,
and then allowing it to cool down. This stimulates certain growth hormones and factors
that trigger healing in the liver, helping to remove excess waste, fatty deposits and toxins.
By following these 5 key steps, you promote regeneration of the cells within your liver,
helping it to remove excess fat.
This will aid your liver in performing over 500 vital functions for the body,
including removing toxins and waste from your blood.
