Health brief: Cleanse your liver for better health
As we age and with continuous exposure to a toxin-laden environment our livers become overworked, and eventually inefficient and toxic. This leads to a host of vague symptoms that are hard to define and often do not fit neatly into a medical diagnosis. They range from fatigue to weight gain, especially weight gain around the waist, and can include a foggy brain
, headaches, poor sleep, and more.
Freshly squeezed vegetable juice is a very effective tool for cleansing and regenerating the liver. The “CBC cocktail” below was designed specifically for this purpose. It works very well and it tastes much better than the recipe might suggest. I recommend it! Here’s how to make it:
- 2 organic medium carrots, no tops
- 3 medium organic beets, green tops and stem included
- 1 medium organic cucumber
- 1 peeled clove of organic garlic
Drink within 20 minutes of juicing. You may add good quality sea salt and a squeeze of lemon to taste.
