We've already talked about the detoxification of the liver (click HERE if you forgot), but today we're circling back to the liver. Why? Because the liver is one of our main detoxification systems in the body as it supports in maintaining overall health and a desirable body composition. So YES! It's important. Like really important. In the liver is where glucose metabolism truly takes place, so we want to ensure that all phases of detoxification are being supported. 😃😃😃
It’s important to ‘prepare’ the body for detoxification as well!
Imagine this: 🤔🤔🤔
You have a bathroom tub that is overflowing with water. What would you do?:
- Mop up the water on the floor and then afterwards turn off the water that is coming from the faucet?
- OR are you going to remove the clog from the drain first?
Yes, the water needs to be shut off, but the true root issue is the clogged drain!
This is why we want to provide support to the liver’s detoxification processes FIRST so that it runs smoothly. 🤯🤯 Lightbulb! I know…
So, in order to make sure things are running smoothly, the liver needs the proper nutrients. This is being provided by all the amazing nutritious foods that you have been eating on a daily basis throughout this challenge, so keep at it! 🤩
