I’m still juicing dandelion first thing in the morning!

My husband bought a case of organic dandelion from the city last week – can you imagine the explanation at the cash register? What on earth are you planning to do with one case of dandelion?!

We are so immune to being questioned all the time regarding our food choices (:)) at the store.

Dandelion is starting to grow now, so we should be able to pick our own this week.

This is the time of the year to Go Wild and add some in your salad and blended soup. Your liver will thank you!

If you have a juicer – go for it. Juice 1 cup of dandelion juice every morning. Dilute 1:1 with water. This is such a great and inexpensive way to cleanse your liver! One cup might be too much for newbies!
start with 1/3 cup of juice and work your way up.

As a bitter tonic, dandelion helps the liver and gall bladder produce bile for better assimilation.

Give your body a “Natural High”

Juice
Dandelion Juice – Give your body a “Natural High”

For the past few weeks, I’ve been drinking one-half cup of fresh dandelion juice every morning and another half cup before dinner.

Dandelion can also lower blood pressure, and build stamina. Who doesn’t need more stamina?

Dandelion Leaf is an ancient remedy and is still used today to help remove excess water and toxins from our body. Promoting excretion of bile from the liver enables our body to get back to the business of processing foods and ridding the body of dangerous toxins at the same time.

Efficient bile production and flow gives our body a boost when it comes to metabolizing fat, which in turn helps the body regulate cholesterol levels. Did you know that when you lose weight, acids build up in the body, but dandelion effectively rids the body of these excess acids?

Dandelion Leaf also stimulates functions of the gallbladder, the organ responsible for storing and excreting bile.

Dandelion Leaf has been known to relieve symptoms of premenstrual syndrome, thanks to its diuretic action. Actually, dandelion is beneficial to all living things, even our pets. Loaded with sodium, calcium, iron, beta-carotene and vitamins A and C, it’s one of the most beneficial for major organs and body system functions.

Keep in mind that some people with sensitive digestion might find the juice a tad strong, so if you’re one of those people, just dilute the dandelion juice with carrot juice or water.

Oh, and select dandelion greens from an area that hasn’t been sprayed with herbicides, or better yet, buy organic.

Can Liver Cleansing Help You?

Liver _
The answer is a big YES!

I’ve talked about liver all this month, and can’t stress enough how important it is to really take care of your liver. Here’s one book you might find interesting if you still question whether or not you should do a liver cleanse.
It’s called: The Liver and Gallbladder Miracle Cleanse

I borrowed the book, The Liver and Gallbladder Miracle Cleanse by Andreas Moritz from a friend last year, read it and then went out and bought my own copy.

Since then, I’ve done several liver/gallbladder cleanses using similar but not exact techniques, always successfully, but never this successful! Since I’m not a newcomer to liver cleansing, I do have something to compare it to.

This book is the most comprehensive that I’ve found on the liver flush. Andreas explains in easy to understand and carefully researched terms how our modern day illnesses relate to our ’sick livers’. Our liver has been forgotten in our quest for wellness, and Andreas writes again and again on it being the most important organ in our body, and thus how very important it is to keep it clean. The liver flush is very simple, yet so effective. I believe it’s the answer to many or all of our modern day illnesses.

Foods to Eat to Help Your Liver

You can help the liver’s regenerative process by adding these foods and nutrients to your diet:

Rather than indulging in heavy dishes, fried pastries and bottles of wine add some of these nutritious foods to your diet and
give yourself and your liver a true gift.

  • Fresh vegetable juices
  • Chlorophyll-rich foods: Wheat or barley grass juice or powder, along with chlorella, spirulina, or wild blue-green
    algae have in many cases proven to be useful in jump-starting up a sluggish liver.
  • Garlic and onions: Garlic contains allicin, which is a sulfur-based compound needed by the liver for effective
    detoxification. Garlic helps the liver rid the body of mercury, certain food additives and hormones.
  • Fresh vegetables: Eat plenty of fresh, lightly cooked, or raw vegetables, especially dark green, leafy vegetables such
    as parsley, kale, watercress, alfalfa sprouted and collard greens. Orange, yellow, purple, and red-colored fruits and vegetables are also good, as they contain living enzymes, fiber, vitamin C, natural antibiotics and cancer-fighting phytonutrients.
  • High-antioxidant fruits: Blueberries, blackberries, strawberries and raspberries are all high in antioxidants, which help to protect the liver from the high levels of free radicals that are naturally produced during the process of
    detoxification.
  • Bitter foods: The bitterness of foods such as dandelion, arugula, endive, radicchio, sorrel and watercress helps to
    stimulate bile flow within the liver.
  • Herbs: Dill, caraway seeds, garlic, onions, boldo, turmeric and cayenne are easy to use in your food and can help
    protect the liver.
  • Dandelion root tea: This simple tea enhances the entire digestive track and it is particularly effective at relieving
    digestion after a high-fat meal. Dandelion is also an excellent herb for weight loss, as the leaves are a diuretic and the root improves fat metabolism.
  • Omega-3 fatty acids: Good sources of these important fats are ground flaxseed, flaxseed oil, walnuts, borage oil,
    krill oil, chia seeds, purslane, acai, algae, hemp seeds, grape seed oil. Water: Drink 8 to 12 cups of pure water each day. Water helps the kidneys get rid of the toxins that the liver has broken down.
  • Nuts, seeds, avocados: These are good food sources of polyunsaturated fats and monounsaturated fats, all less
    harmful to the liver than saturated fats.
  • Hot water and lemon juice: This easy and healthy tonic works wonders for sweeping the bad stuff out your liver.
