First Aid For Your Liver!

Our liver is one of the largest organs in our body, and it does a fantastic job of filtering and dealing with the food and drink we consume. Even if we (like myself) eat healthily, it's good to indulge in a little chocolate, the odd cake here and there, not to mention a glass or two of wine at the end of the working week.

However if we overindulge on a regular basis our poor hardworking liver will begin to tell us in no uncertain terms! We may begin to experience headaches, fatigue, problems such as dull tired looking skin, disrupted bowel habits and a general feeling of being unwell.

Give your liver a helping hand by drinking plenty of filtered water, eating a low fat diet, and supplement with herbs such as Milk Thistle and Dandelion (try Dandelion tea instead of your usual coffee, it's taste is quite different and delicious). Turmeric and Globe Artichoke are also good options.

Go easy on the junk, enjoy good food, and your liver will thank you!
