On this Mindful Monday I’m thinking about my liver, an organ that does the thankless job of detoxifying my body every day. Without a whimper or a complaint, no matter what I put into my body the liver goes to work on clearing any toxins out of my system so that I can remain healthy and free of disease, or at least it tries. During the holiday season the liver often goes into hyper drive as we eat and drink to much rich foods and drink with limited rest and a whole lot more stress.
Praise the liver for all the work it must do to keep us healthy. What a reliable organ it is. But maybe we can truly thank this sister-friend to endocrine system for all its hard work by drinking a glass of water with lemon first thing in the morning (a great liver toner), eating lots of healthy protein and fiber through out the day, and if you’re really feeling thankful why not add a little vitamin B to your diet which can be found in nuts and legumes. Your liver will thank you by keeping you healthy into the New Year.
