A big part of healthy aging is proper detoxification. You have the power to control how you age by putting in the extra effort towards your health.
The liver removes toxins and other impurities before the blood cycles out the rest to the body. Any toxic buildup in the liver can lead to unwanted symptoms and accelerated aging.
In our daily lives, many of us use products full of toxins and eat foods with ingredients that are not the best for our bodies. This can cause a heavy burden to the liver, which already has 600 other jobs to perform. The liver is one busy organ and anything we can do to lighten the load will impact our health in a positive way.
To give your liver extra love you can make a quick easy detox smoothie full of nutrients your liver will love.
Some wonderful and tasty foods that you can eat on a regular basis for detoxification:
Lemons
Beet root
Garlic
Cilantro
Parsley
Dandelion Greens
Arugula
Watercress
Spinach
Broccoli
Cabbage
Ginger
Seaweed
Cucumber

Including these foods in your diet will help your body to detoxify naturally and increase your energy, mental clarity, happiness, vitality, and all-around healthy aging.
