Liver Cleanse Juice

Start out your day fresh by drinking a liver cleanse juice.

The liver is the filtration system in our bodies, separating the fat and toxins from the good nutrients that come through the body via the blood stream.  When there are too many toxins or fats in our bodies, the liver has a big job and can be taxed out.  The excess fat starts to clog the liver and cause problems in our bodies such as fatty liver disease or even cirhossis.  If you are someone who consumes a lot of fatty, creamy, fried, and sweet foods, excessive alcohol, smokes a lot, it’s time to consider taking it easy on your liver by cutting down on those foods and alcohol and start eating more healthy.

Eat more lean meats and fish and add more veggies and fruits to your diet.   Avoid or cut down on on refined vegetable oils, peanuts, dairy products, sugar, processed foods, and sugar substitutes.

Another way to implement vegetables is by juicing.  You get lots of the medicinal values from mother nature like all the minerals and vitamins your body needs.

Juicing is an experiment.  Sometimes you’ll get a batch that you will not love at all!  But don’t stop.  Just keep using different ingredients together until you get YOUR juice.  The juice I made in the video is MY juice and I love it!

Tips for juicing:

• Leave the skin on all the vegetables
• Do use vegetable brush
• Leave the rinds on the lemons.  A good juicer will take it all in.
• Use your pulp for compost and recycling back into the earth.
• Grow your own fruits and vegetables to cut your costs

In the video, you saw me using a Waring Juicerator.   These days, there are so many juicers to pick from.  I also own a Dash Juicer and a Vitamix, both which I love.

If you really cannot afford a juicer or you’re traveling a lot or whatever your circumstance may be, you can still help your liver out by starting your day drinking lukewarm water with fresh squeezed lemons.  Lemons will help create and stimulate good bile, the stuff your body needs to break down fats.  Your liver will love you for it.

I highly recommend watching the documentary Fat, Sick, and Nearly Dying.  A man’s path for getting on the health wagon, losing a lot of weight in the process, getting off of medications (not suggested for everyone and needs to consult your doctor), and ultimately living an energized and healthy life.  He said juicing saved his life. (And I believe him!)
