Your liver plays the ultimate role of in the battle of detoxification
With millions of toxins attacking your body every day, it takes a very special kind of warrior to neutralize the invasion. Of all the organs in your body, there is only one that is incessantly willing to rise to the occasion and serve as the main battle station where toxins are dismantled and eliminated. Working tirelessly, this fearless hero never backs down from a challenge, battling day and night to eradicate any enemy toxins looking to damage your internal fortress. A soldier unlike any other, your liver—the most resilient organ in the human body—plays the ultimate role in the battle of detoxification.
The battle of detoxification occurs in two key phases:
~The transformation of toxic enemy forces invading the liver into secondary substances.
~The neutralization or elimination of these substances through the lungs, intestines, skin, or urine.
It’s fascinating to think of just how integral your liver is to the overall health and functioning of your body. Destroying toxic chemicals is just one of the nearly five hundred other duties the liver performs, including:
Metabolizing carbohydrates, fats, and proteins
Storing substances such as glycogen and fat-soluble vitamins
Manufacturing 13,000 different chemicals
Maintaining 2,000 enzyme systems
Filtering 100 gallons of blood daily
Producing 1 quart of bile daily
It’s no surprise that without a liver, we wouldn’t survive. These are all responsibilities that only the most capable of warriors are willing to take on. At least your liver is up to the challenge.
Keep in mind that the liver may be the most resilient organ in the body, but it was built this way because of how critical it is to maintain our lives. While this gladiator may seem untouchable, it’s a good idea to recognize that the liver is vulnerable to attack. Perhaps these signs might help you identify whether or not your liver is firing on all cylinders:
Poor skin tone
Yellow-coated tongue
Dark circles under they eyes
Itchy skin
Headaches
Excessive sweating
If you’re suffering from any of these symptoms, it’s possible your liver is a little worn out. However, the resiliency of the liver is absolutely mind-blowing, and its ability to bounce back and continue functioning is truly amazing. A wounded liver is still an effective one, as it has six detoxification pathways of its own. Because of this, your liver is able to carry on fighting. Life goes on and the battle continues…

Glycemic Index - You NEED to know...
The glycemic index, glycaemic index, or GI is a measure of the effects of carbohydrates on blood sugar levels. Carbohydrates that break down quickly during digestion and release glucose rapidly into the bloodstream have a high GI; carbohydrates that break down more slowly, releasing glucose more gradually into the bloodstream, have a low GI. The concept was developed by Dr. David J. Jenkins and colleagues[1] in 1980–1981 at the University of Toronto in their research to find out which foods were best for people with diabetes.
A lower glycemic response usually equates to a lower insulin demand but not always, and may improve long-term blood glucose control and blood lipids. A low-GI food will release glucose more slowly and steadily. A high-GI food causes a more rapid rise in blood glucose levels and is suitable for energy recovery after endurance exercise or for a person experiencing hypoglycemia.
Benefits of Low Glycemic Include:
◦Low GI diets help people lose and manage weight
◦Low GI diets increase the body's sensitivity to insulin
◦Low GI carbs improve diabetes management
◦Low GI carbs reduce the risk of heart disease
◦Low GI carbs improve blood cholesterol levels
◦Low GI carbs can help you manage the symptoms of PCOS
◦Low GI carbs reduce hunger and keep you fuller for longer
◦Low GI carbs prolong physical endurance
◦High GI carbs help re-fuel carbohydrate stores after exercise
A few tips to try Low Glycemic eating:
Pumpernickel Bread
Basmati, Brown or Long Grain Rice
Al Dente Pasta
Most Fruits and Vegetables
Oats, Barley and Bran
...Just to name a few to start!
