Slower Loser Tip #1 - Treat your liver
right and your gall bladder
One of the most important organs for
detoxing the body is your Liver and if
it's clogged up you have a hard time
losing. The liver is the main organ that
detoxes the body, it filters everything
from toxins in our food, what we drink
and the air around us to heavy metals. I
always remind everyone that excess fat
is a toxin and it has to follow the same
path as all other toxins. It will be
swept out of the cells by the lymph
system filtered through the liver and
kidneys and dumped into the GI tract to
be eliminated from the body. If the main
detox organ is clogged up the fat will
just SIT, sometimes IN our mid section.
So you want to make sure you are
treating your liver right. Eating lots
of green leafy veggies is KEY, also
salmon (mercury free please) and half a
lemon in boiling water first thing in
the morning will help support the liver
nutritionally. If yours is still
struggling, you can do a liver cleanse.
There are TONS of them out there, from
the borderline dangerously harsh
(grapefruit and olive oil) to the
ineffective (anything cheap at the
health food store.) I prefer instead of
a cleanse to give my liver continual
supplemental support with the Nikken
Liver Support Supplement. This is a
proprietary blend of herbs in artichoke
which is also one of the best foods for
your liver! I will also take a
homeopathic Liver Support from Raquel
Rosas my "Hom-E" as we affectionately
call her. It is also from Raquel that I
learned how INCREDIBLY important the
GALL BLADDER is in losing!
When you look at the organs from a
more holistic healing perspective, the
Gall Bladder is VERY important, unlike
what is often pushed in the standard
medical fields. Several of you that I
work with on a weekly basis have
struggled for YEARS without a gall
bladder and wondered why you couldn't
lose. The Gall Bladder stores the BILE
which is produced by the liver to aid in
digestion, which is obviously another
important function of the liver. Well,
the issue arises for the Liver and
losing weight when you start needing the
liver to do the detoxing. If it has no
storage vessel for the bile it produces,
then the majority of it's energy must be
spent making bile on a continual basis
to provide even a fraction of what is
needed to digest your food. Compound
this with the fact that you no longer
have enough to properly digest your food
so more of it becomes waste in the body
which is again stored as fat and it's
easy to see how this can be a
compounding problem. Gall Stones can be
cleansed out safely and cheaply while
they are still in the liver with some of
those more harsh cleanses but can save
your Gall Bladder in the long run. For
those who are missing their Gall
Bladders, supplementation with Bile and
HCl (stomach acid) supplements has made
HUGE differences in reaching their
goals. One of SIMPLEST ways to get more
of the HCl is again the hot lemon water,
lemon juice is very similar in
composition to stomach acid and if you
don't have a Gall Bladder you may want
to consider having a cup at every meal!
If you are struggling or want more
information, do some research on your
own, or talk to Raquel. She is at the
Monday Towson class almost every week
(except this coming when she'll be in
NYC) and also available by phone. I can
provide you her information if you would
like to send me a note back. She can
work with you to provide some of the
best of the best homeopathic supplements
available. If you just want the Liver by
Nikken, talk to me, I can get added to
my monthly shipment.
