Liver Love

Today Indigo Nutritionist Carolyn Brown talks about our livers!

Time to give your liver a little love!💙

Most people think of their liver in terms of alcohol - and yup that's true, if you drink, your liver clears alcohol out of your system. But your liver is really the ultimate multitasker, it metabolizes and removes ALL toxins from your body, including any ingested via food or drink or medication, and also toxins from pollution and pesticides. Your liver is also a key player in hormone health (...even guys need hormone balance!), and it's involved in metabolism too.

It's great to give your liver a little TLC in the Spring months, and we especially need extra liver support if alcohol or sugar increases.

Here are 5 of the best foods & supps for your liver:

✨Broccoli and brussels sprouts
✨Garlic
✨Turmeric (cook with black pepper) or a curcumin supplement (we like Pure Encapsulation Curcumasorb)
✨NAC supplement (N-acetyl cysteine - we like Pure Encapsulation 600mg/day)
✨Dandelion tea or dandelion bitters
