a liver support powerhouse

Hi Oscar! Ahhh, the liver! What an underappreciated organ. This wonderful organ keeps our bodies humming away every day, but we often take it for granted and even forget its critical role in our wellness. The liver has MANY functions in the body, but one of the most well-known roles is detoxification. We are bombarded every single day with all sorts of things that must be detoxified from the body. The numbers are really scary. Of the 85,000 new chemicals developed in the last 60 years, a whopping 90% of them have never been tested for their effects on human health. More than 9,000 of these chemicals are food additives. Scientists currently estimate that humans carry at least 700 toxic chemicals in our bodies that have not been studied. So, as you can imagine, our poor livers have the odds stacked against them every day! Here are some interesting (and important) liver facts that you may or may not know: The liver is the largest internal organ (and the most metabolically complex). The liver is responsible for 500+ functions in the human body. The liver helps fight infection, control blood sugar, create proteins and hormones, neutralize and remove toxins, and much more. The liver is the only organ in the human body that is able to regenerate. The liver contains about 10% of your body's blood at any one time. The liver pumps close to 1.5 quarts of blood through it per minute. The liver is responsible for producing bile which helps with digestion and also with removing toxins. The liver weighs around 3 pounds. The liver is a warehouse for iron, plus extra minerals and vitamins that helps us function every day. For the ancient Greeks, the liver was considered the "seat of emotions" and viewed the liver as the organ in closest contact with the divine. There are a number of basic things that we can do every day to help support our liver function, including: Eating quality, real food. Staying hydrated. Exercising (in a mindful way that doesn't stress the body). Getting good sleep. Keeping stress down. Remember, the basics matter! But if we want to do a little something extra, we can add some herbal support to our daily routine and this can really help keep things humming along. Some of the most common liver supporting herbs are: Turmeric Milk Thistle Artichoke Leaf Chlorella Parsley Cilantro Burdock Root Chicory Dandelion I am a big fan of all of these herbs and while they each can help a lot on their own, when combined together, they become a liver support powerhouse.
