It’s no secret that autoimmune disorders, fatigue, and hormonal imbalances are becoming increasingly common – but why? The cause is often rooted in the health of your liver, kidneys, and gut. When these systems become overloaded or damaged due to environmental toxins, poor nutrition, stress and genetic predispositions they can’t do their job properly. That’s why detoxifying the liver and kidneys while restoring gut health is essential for optimizing overall well-being.
Detoxing your organs helps to decrease levels of inflammation by removing harmful toxins from your body as well as restoring balance between beneficial bacteria in the gut tract. When this happens it can help reduce autoimmune conditions like allergies and arthritis, improves energy levels throughout the day and regularizes hormonal production.
Your liver is the largest organ responsible for detoxification, and is often referred to as “the grand filter of your body”. It doesn’t just filter toxins but also helps convert food into energy and plays a role in metabolism. Your kidneys play an important role too by filtering out substances such as urea, salts, and other metabolic byproducts from your bloodstream. When both organs are functioning optimally it can reduce autoimmune disorders, fatigue and even help to restore hormonal balance.
To ensure these organs are working properly you should add plenty of leafy greens like kale and arugula to your diet, avoid processed foods that contain chemicals or additives which can damage the gut lining and cause inflammation, exercise regularly (especially activities like walking and cycling which promote good circulation) and reduce your exposure to environmental toxins.
