Liver

Our Liver is the largest organ inside our body, has the ability to regenerate and has such an important role in breaking down synthetic medication amongst many other things and detoxifying everything that goes into our body. And if our Liver is not kept happy then no one is happy. It will go on the rampage and disrupt many things inside our body starting with attacking the Stomach and Spleen which are vital for our digestive system to function properly. Women will know it through periods. But all jokes aside, this is very true. 

When our Liver is overloaded with toxins, we can experience all types of sickness from weight gain to mood swings. Seeing as we are bombarded with toxins every day whether it's through make up on our face, the environment or food, it is important to love our Liver and give the army general the love and care he needs. If you need to be on long term synthetic medication and your Liver is not up to scratch, there is one place you are heading. 

What foods can help keep our livers happy? 

Garlic: Just a small amount of this pungent white bulb has the ability to activate Liver enzymes that help your body flush out toxins.

Grapefruit: High in both vitamin C and anti-oxidants, citrus fruits like grapefruit, oranges, limes, and lemons support the natural cleansing abilities of the Liver. DO NOT EAT GRAPEFRUIT OR DRINK GRAPEFRUIT JUICE IF YOU ARE ON BLOOD THINNERS otherwise you are inviting trouble with overdosing. Grapefruit has the ability to do what blood thinners do. Allah (SWT) has provided all the natural medication we need as His (SWT) words are true. 

Lemons and limes: These citrus fruits are high in vitamin C, which aids the body in synthesizing toxic materials into substances that can be absorbed by water. Drinking freshly squeezed lemon or lime juice in the morning can stimulate the Liver.

Beets and carrots: Both are extremely high in plant flavonoids and beta-carotene; eating beets and carrots can stimulate and support overall Liver function.

Leafy greens: One of our most powerful allies in cleansing the Liver. Extremely high in chlorophyll, greens soak up environmental toxins from the bloodstream.

Apples: High in pectin, apples hold the chemical constituents necessary for the body to cleanse and release toxins from the digestive tract. This, in turn, makes it easier for the liver to handle the toxic load during the cleansing process.

Olive oil: Cold pressed organic oils such as olive, hemp, and flaxseed are great for the Liver when used in moderation. They help the body by providing a lipid base that can absorb harmful toxins in the body.

Avocados: This nutrient dense superfood helps the body produce glutathione, a compound that is necessary for the Liver to cleanse harmful toxins. It also nourishes the Uterus in women as there is a Uterus-Liver-Heart connection, all 3 organs are communicating. 

DO KEEP emotions especially stress, anger, irritability and frustration at bay. Let go of emotions and repressed emotions otherwise the army general will make you regret it with a nuclear war like never before especially at the expense of your health.
