Focus on Health, Energy, Vitality

😩Detoxification is a term often synonymous with short term programs, overnight results & shakes or juicing.

🙌🏻The reality is that detoxification is happening 24/7, 365 days of the year.

🙌🏻The main detoxification organs are the liver and kidneys, and the bowels & the urinary tract are ancillary to these.

🙌🏻The skin via sweat, and the lungs via carbon dioxide, are also detoxification organs.

🍹The lifestyle choices we make can interfere with how efficiently our body can detoxify and therefore eliminate the problematic substances that make their way into our body.

🚂Although ideally, we minimise our exposure where we can, realistically we can’t avoid everything think air pollution.

🍳Simply eating more whole real food and making lifestyle choices that enable the liver to do its detoxification work more efficiently – such as consuming less alcohol and ultra-processed foods, while amping up your vegetable intake – can be great steps to take to better support detoxification.

🍊For some, when they think about detoxification, they think of drinking only fresh juices or smoothies for an extended period of time – and while some people feel great doing this, others feel depleted. It’s important to notice how YOU feel.

🍎The premise of a juice cleanse is that you are giving the digestive system less work to do plus concentrated nutrition, so that stored problematic substances can be mobilised and eliminated.

🥑Ideally, what we want to aim for with supporting our detoxification pathways, is robust health and excellent, consistent energy – rather than physical weakness or depletion.

🏄🏻‍♀️Energy is the true currency of health – and without it, everything is challenging.

🥰This article is from Dr Libby Weaver whom I’m a huge follower of. A great question to ask before you eat, drink, do, or say anything is – will this energise or deplete me? And then act on your answer.
