The Liver And Gallbladder: Purify Them Naturally
The liver and gallbladder work for our health and to absorb all the nutrients the body needs to function properly.
However, the habits of modern life, poor nutrition and a sedentary lifestyle cause the liver and gallbladder to become overloaded and begin to accumulate toxins and waste substances. The direct consequence is the emergence of health problems that significantly worsen the quality of our life.
Detoxifying the liver and gallbladder is a process of deep liver cleansing that consists of eliminating toxins from the liver, bile secretions that have not yet been excreted and gallstones.
This cleaning is very easy to perform: you just have to have good will for it to become a healthy habit of daily life.
How to clean the liver and gallbladder?
To start, you need to take a tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil mixed with a teaspoon of lemon juice on an empty stomach. In fact, the combination of these two substances stimulates the gallbladder and helps eliminate all waste accumulated in it.
This treatment must be carried out every day on an empty stomach, for a whole month and without interruptions. Furthermore, the ideal would be to wait at least 15 minutes before having breakfast; it would be even better to wait 40 or 60 minutes after breakfast.
As you perform this treatment to cleanse the liver and gallbladder, it is very important to remember that there may be symptoms of detoxification. These include: diarrhea or heavy stools, gas, fatigue, lack of appetite, nausea, headaches, mucus, bad body odor, very dark and strong smelling urine, skin rashes.
These symptoms are normal at this stage, because you are eliminating toxins and waste that have accumulated in the liver from a poor diet, drugs, sweets, fast food, fat, alcohol or tobacco. Yet, these tend to appear only in the first week of purification and do not apply to everyone.
To counteract the symptoms we advise you to drink between 2 and 4 glasses of water with lemon per day. The ideal would be to ingest warm water to help the body in the process of eliminating toxins from the whole body.
- To make the lemonade, you need to use pure water, the juice of 2 lemons and, if you like, honey to sweeten.
