Why Do We Love Spring?

Spring brings beautiful chromatic flowers that line our streets.  Spring has a magical mixture of warmth with a cool breeze that creates the perfect outdoor environment. Spring has an inviting vibe that inspires us to renew ourselves.

And what better way to initiate renewal than a spring liver cleanse?

Cleansing the liver helps you feel healthier and lighter by clearing out stagnant toxins and wastes in your body. It doesn’t have to be as expensive or complicated as you think – you can use ingredients you may already have at home, or freshly grown veggies you may have in your own backyard.

Why go on a liver cleanse?

Hepatitis and other liver diseases continue to be the one of the most perilous causes of death around the world. As the second largest organ in the body, the liver serves vital roles in processing all our food and liquid intake. It also controls the balance of cholesterol, blood sugar and hormones in the body.  Such tedious and numerous jobs make it important for us to regularly cleanse the liver.

Liver cleansing can be as basic as beefing up with dark leafy greens and detoxifying liquids.

Spend a few days eliminating meats, and eating more of green leafy vegetables such as bok choy, mustard greens, dandelion, kale and collards. Choose organic ingredients to go with these green vegetables.

Drink a lot of juices and teas to help flush fatty deposits and chemicals from your body. There are a lot of herbal tea varieties that you can choose from with high detoxifying power.  A daily dose of hot water with lemon is a great start.

During your cleanse period, stay away from all processed foods, sugar and flour.  Liver cleansing  might take willpower but you will later thank yourself when you fully enjoy spring with a cleansed liver! Happy Spring.
