A Liver Detox – Remove the Excess February 1, 2021 by Sue KarpinskiThere are as many as 80,000+ chemicals produced and used in the United States. Very few require testing and even fewer are regulated therefore it’s impossible to avoid them. Toxins enter the body from the food we eat, the beverages we drink, the air we breathe, prescriptions and over-the-counter medications, alcohol intake, coffee and energy drinks, and many of the things that come in contact with our skin. Even stress can impact the function of the liver. Once in the body, toxins get stored in the fat cells. A build-up of toxins in the body disrupts the delicate balance in the body. The good news is the body is designed with a filtration system to remove the accumulated load of toxins. That system is our liver, the epicenter of the body where 500 vital functions take place and where all of the blood in the body is filtered through pathways every six minutes to make sure the body (blood) stays pure and clean. Think of the liver as a filter in an engine and just like a filter, it can get clogged. Too many toxins create an overload even if you do your best to reduce your exposure to them. A liver detox gives the liver the help it needs to clear and release the excess pathogens, carcinogens, and other harmful substances. Every program at Daisy Wellness begins with a simple toxicity questionnaire to assess your toxin load along with a gentle detox that safely gives the body the nutrients and support it needs to clear the liver pathways of toxins faster and effectively. A detox can make all the difference in your health journey, give it a jump start, and help you experience the top benefits.
