Seriously ask yourself: Do any of the following apply to me and my health?
- Hormone imbalance?
- Messed up metabolism?
- Faulty digestion?
- Weight Gain?
- Facial breakouts?
- PMS problems?
- More immunity?
- Fatigue?
- High liver enzymes?
One of your hardest working organs needs help!
Any guesses? Your liver aka the largest internal organ in your body.
The liver is our big detoxifying organ and works to ensure that the threats our bodies encounter (heavy metals, prescription rx, external toxins, etc) are processed into harmless material and excreted. How can you have a well-running machine if the machine is never serviced?
In other words, we expect our livers to function well until we die and this just is not the case. The toxic burden of our environment is just too much and is one reason that explains why we have so many more cases of autoimmune, cancer, and neurodegeneration (anyone else notice that??).
For instance? According to the EWG, a conventional strawberry may contain up to 23 different pesticides!! The body is not equipped for that. Our bile is not capable of processing through all of these toxins daily for 70+ years.
To start, look at the dirty dozen and clean fifteen lists and find out which produce items are limiting your body’s ability to take optimal care of itself. Much more to come!
You can find these two lists on the Environmental Working Group website. It pays to be informed!
