Week 2 Body Reset

Week 2 Body Reset

What is a detox – week 2 body reset:

 

Our bodies have the ability to naturally detox themselves every single day. Our liver is responsible for the major detoxification of the body. The liver filtration process retains the nutrients that the body needs & disposes of the waste, toxins & excess substances that the body does not need. Therefore, one of the best ways to detox your body is to simply optimise your liver function through healthy lifestyle factors. That is where the week 2 body reset comes into play.

 

Other Function’s of the liver:

 

  • Helps your body fight infections by removing bacteria from the blood
  • Converts inactive thyroid hormones (T4) to activate T3 that the cells use
  • Metabolises, or breaks down, nutrients from food to produce energy when needed
  • Creates ketone bodies for cellular energy production
  • Produces most of the substances that regulate blood clotting
  • Prevents shortages of the nutrients by storing vitamins, minerals & sugars removes potentially toxic substances we consume from the environment such as xenoestrogens, pesticides, herbicides & medication byproducts.
  • Produces bile, a compound needed to digest fat & absorb vitamins A,D,E & K
  • Creates cholesterol for hormone production & tissue healing.
  • More than 500 vital functions have been identified with the liver. https://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/305075

So as you can see it is important to look after our liver & one of the first places to start is a healthy eating plan, exercise, filtered water & relaxation therapy.
