Your liver performs more than 400 different jobs! In addition to its function as a filter to cleanse the body of toxins, the liver is also the main organ that produces energy in our bodies. It does so by regulating the metabolism of carbohydrates, fats and proteins, hormonal balance, fat burning and blood sugar. Because of its role in metabolism, a toxic liver cannot efficiently burn body fat, making liver toxicity a common weight loss stumbling block. Thus, periodic detoxification not only helps restore health and vitality but also makes it easier for you to shed those unwanted extra pounds.
Health food store shelves and the internet are bombarded with a myriad of different types of detox and liver cleansing supplements and programs which can make choosing the right detox a daunting task. Information can be confusing and lead to the selection of a program that is not right for your needs or that may even cause an imbalance that can potentially lead to improper detoxification and adverse reactions.
So…How toxic are you? Is toxicity hampering you from achieving your health and fitness goals? Come take a detoxification questionnaire and learn the why, when and how of detoxification with Shannon Conrad RHN/RHOP on Tuesday April 27th at 5:30 pm.
