I’m Kelly, and I have a lazy liver. Yup, I said it.

My liver can’t always keep up with all the outside toxins it must process, so I try and do some regular liver cleansing. Here’s why and how I keep my liver nourished.

Why the Liver Needs Cleansing

Sadly, if you breathe air in this world, your liver may be overloaded.

There’s toxins in processed food, cleaning products, the air, plastics, cars, and the list goes on. There’s really no avoiding toxins, but there are ways of bolstering the liver so it can more easily remove these intruders.

There are extreme forms of liver cleansing like fasting for several days and only drinking juice. I’m not a big fan of those strict diets, unless it’s doctor recommended for a specific health condition.

I do recommend supporting the liver with healthy liver-boosting ingredients like this beet cilantro ginger juice.

The Liver’s Job

The liver works as a filtration system. It helps escort nutrients to where they need to go, helps eliminate toxins from your body, and keeps your blood clean and flowing well.

When your liver gets lazy like mine, it can’t process all the toxins, so then they take up residence in the body. These aren’t the residents you want, especially because they nestle inside fatty tissue, causing weight gain.

• Lowers blood pressure

• Increases stamina for longer exercise periods

• Improves blood flow
