Being motivated to “get back into shape” after the holidays, we often tend to go from one extreme to the other and limit our food consumption altogether – all in the hope to get “back on track” as soon as possible. However, there is no finish line to cross. Low-calorie diets (way below your personal optimal calorie threshold) put our body and nervous system under extreme stress and activate a “survival mode” — the body´s attempt to fight back and preserve the energy when it´s not getting enough nutrients. Increase the quality of foods you consume instead. Bring those fruit and veggies back, swap soft drinks for water and salty snacks with Amsety Bars, skip a ride to a fast-food restaurant and cook at home instead, if you can.
A typical Thanksgiving table usually includes foods high in salt and sugar as well as sugar-packed soft drinks and alcoholic beverages. The liver being the human body´s primary filter will be responsible for processing everything we have consumed. Given the fact that the body´s detoxification process is a natural liver function, there are no supplements or pills of any kind to speed it up. The detoxification will happen at its own time, at its own pace. The only thing we can do though is to make sure that the foods and drinks we consume support this process as opposed to putting even more pressure on the liver. This is where drinking enough water becomes so important. Drinking enough water prevents constipation and reduces the burden on the kidneys and liver by helping to flush waste from the body, it will the liver break down fats and fiber as well as flush out those harmful toxins from the body.
