“My liver is going to be so mad at me!”
How many times have you heard someone say that (or said it yourself) after a night of drinking too much alcohol?
Well, the truth is your liver might not be “mad” but it will have to work pretty hard to remove all those toxins. Yet it’s not just alcohol that your liver has to deal with. Everything you eat, drink, breathe, and any medications you take get filtered by the liver. It’s a busy little organ!When the liver gets over-worked, we may end up having breakouts on our skin, which is another organ of detoxification. So supporting the liver supports the health of the whole body, and makes us look more beautiful too.
In Eat Pray Love when Elizabeth Gilbert goes to learn meditation with the medicine man in Bali, he tells her to “smile in her liver.” So how can we learn to give our liver some love?
