So, you’ve had a big night out or just got back from a holiday and you’ve consumed foods and drinks you wouldn’t normally indulge in on a daily basis. Your liver is hating you right now and the first thing that comes to mind is a detox or a cleansing of the body which will help eliminate all the toxins that have been left in your precious liver.

Detoxification is a natural process performed by the liver but this process can be interrupted by high consumption of alcohol, caffeine and saturated fats meaning the liver can’t function efficiently.

There are so many natural sources that contain high amounts of antioxidants to help rid the toxins from your body and get the nutrients needed to regain a proper functioning liver.

Detoxing also helps with weight loss by waking up the digestive system, assisting in eliminating cravings and preparing the body for a new healthier way of eating.
