Why Are You Maltreating Your Liver; do you want to lose it?

We live in a world where most of our actions and habits are inviting diseases to us; sometimes, we even buy disease with our hard earned money. This should come as no surprise to you because our environment is surrounded by disease producing aliens called toxins.

Most of the foods we eat are processed and contain preservatives- such foods have toxic substances.

We inhale toxins when we do our domestic chores- surprised? Have you not heard that most cleaning liquids, detergents and bleach contain toxic chemicals?

Each time you fleet your house with insecticides and pesticides to expel mosquito, other insects and pests, you inhale harmful chemical substances (toxins) because these insecticides and pesticides contain toxic substances.

I could go on with more examples of how we attract disease producing substances to ourselves, but I have to stop here... There are lots of blog posts on how people get toxins into their system; you can Google the topic for detailed information.

What are toxins?

Toxins are harmful or poisonous substances created by both plants and animals.

Toxin is as old as mother earth and is everywhere on this planet; we cannot be totally isolated from toxic substances... God knew that man cannot be completely separated from toxins that was why he added detoxification to the job responsibility of the Liver.

70-100 years ago, toxins were not obvious threats to man because the work load of our liver was not as much as it seems today.


What is detoxification?

Detoxification simply means cleaning the blood. It's an act of removing impurities from the blood stream.

Let’s at least talk about this vital organ called liver:

The liver is the second largest organ in your body that plays important roles like metabolism, storage of nutrients within the body, detoxification and so on.

The liver is the first line of defense against foreigners(toxins), it prevents them from passing into the blood stream by filtering and removing these toxic substances from the blood.

Warning:

"When the liver becomes congested it will not filter blood optimally." - Fanney

If you don't make conscious efforts to support your liver you will either lose it or it will become too weak to stop toxic substances from entering into your blood and your body.

How to revitalize your liver ?
For your liver to be up and doing, you need to clear off (consistently) the toxic substances stuck in it.

There are several medical programs or restrictive diets around to detoxify the liver, but there are also natural ways to cleanse the liver and this post is focus on these natural ways to detoxify the liver.

Personally, I prefer the natural ways because they are less expensive and they have little or no risk of re-consuming toxic substances while detoxifying.

The importance of detoxification cannot be overemphasized in this messed-up world, there are number of natural ways to flush the toxins stuck in your liver out.

Natural Ways To Cleanse Your Liver

1. Drink Lots Of Pure Water:
Drinking a lot of water is really important during liver cleansing.
Water helps to flush stuck toxins out of the liver. As you take lots of water you're assisting the liver to detox naturally on its own.

Warning:

Too much intake of water can cause a person's blood to be diluted of salts which might result in a condition called hyponatremia and severe cases of hyponatremia lead to water intoxication.

2. Eat Garlic:
Garlic which is commonly called stinking rose is a member of the onion family which contains sulfur compounds that protects the liver and other organs from being damaged by toxic substances, it also activate liver enzymes that work to flush out those toxins funneled into your liver by other organs.

Garlic also has two vital nutrients (allicin and selenium) that protect your liver from harms caused by toxins.

3. Eat Walnuts:
