Overindulgence Quiz
Do you have brain fog or can’t think straight? Do you have little patience for those around you? After drinking alcohol or eating sugar, are you jittery or upset? Do you suffer from tiredness problems? Are you acting impulsively? Do you feel dizzy, nauseous and have a pounding heart? Do you have heartburn, bloating, gas pains and poor digestion?

If you answered yes to most of the above questions, your liver needs help to improve digestion and combat the effects of fast food. The liver removes toxic substances by filtering them out of your blood.

Nutrition Techniques to go from Fatigue to Fantastic
Include many plant foods in your diet, some raw foods at each meal (fruit or vegetables). Salads, whole grains and beans, lentils and peas are easily metabolized. For those who have trouble digesting grains and beans, reduce or eliminate them.

Keep animal protein to a minimum, 2 to 3 oz,. per meal of fish, poultry or eggs (all organic if possible).

Throughout the day, drink pure water and herbal teas such as green tea and peppermint. Cut caffeine use.

Keep dairy products and red meat to a minimum.

Forget deep frying. (That includes French fries).

Stay off sugar and white flour products, and especially avoid ‘one too many’ drinks.

Do not gorge yourself, especially at night.

Healthy Oils to Detoxify
Use a small amount of pure forms of oils, cold-pressed (written on the label of the bottle). Refrigerate. Olive oil and ground flaxseed helps to reduce inflammation that results from too many toxins in the diet. Ground flax can be added to salads and yogurt.

Powerful Nutrients for the Cleansing Process
Vitamin C acts as a detoxifier by preventing free radicals from causing cellular damage. Vitamin C also helps with the effects of dealing with withdrawal symptoms from cigarettes or alcohol. The B vitamins in a B complex vitamin formula help metabolize alcohol into non-toxic products and help reduce the accumulation of fat in the liver.

Other Digestive Support
Fresh pineapple and the natural enzyme bromelain also help the digestion process. Another nutrition detox technique is to squeeze ¼ to ½ of a fresh lemon into a glass of room-temperature pure water. Drink first thing in the morning on an empty stomach.

Get rid of leftover cakes and other sweets to resist temptation. In a few days, you will feel great, and your liver will thank you. For ongoing good health, continue this type of healthy eating schedule indefinitely!
