Renew Life Liver Detox
Three nutritional therapists work in Only Natural and when one of them gets excited about a product I tend to sit up and listen! Nichola drew my attention to Renew Life’s Liver Detox product and its real potential for health promotion so today I want to pass on what we feel about it.
Firstly the importance of keeping the liver in good shape can’t be overstressed, it’s involved in so many bodily functions from making vital substances like cholesterol and blood proteins to bile production, blood filtration, blood sugar regulation, hormone production and break down of hormones as well as detoxification both of endotoxins (produced within the body) and exotoxins (taken in from the environment). If the liver is not in good health toxins can cause it to become sluggish leading to high cholesterol, poor digestion, weight gain, fatigue, blood sugar and hormone imbalance, headaches/migraines, allergies, sensitivities and poor skin.
So a healthy liver can help hormone imbalance through excretion of excess hormones, weight retention where a plateau has been reached but the body can go no further because toxins stored in fatty tissues are being held onto because the body doesn’t feel the liver’s able to process and excrete them, blood sugar balance leading to better energy levels and a decrease in inflammation in the body which might be causing painful joints or skin conditions like eczema and acne. So it follows that an improvement in liver health is a potent key to many health benefits.
Renew life Liver Detox works on two levels. Liver detox 1 is a combination of herbs including dandelion, turmeric and artichoke leaf to optimise liver health and function (2 capsules are taken in the morning on an empty stomach). Liver Detox 2 provides nutrients – amino acids and antioxidants needed by the liver to effectively break toxins down for elimination via the kidneys, bladder or bowel (2 capsules are taken in the evening on an empty stomach 2 to 3 hours after eating). For the first few days of this cleanse it is normal to experience headaches or cold and flu like symptoms as toxins are flushed from the body. A one month liver detox pack retails for €26.19.
If you suffer from any of the symptoms listed above have a look at Renew Life’s questionnaire to see how susceptible your lifestyle might make you to toxic exposure. Is it time for a system reboot?
