A Healthy Liver For Healthy Aging
It has been said that the liver is a “life-saver and a waste basket”. It is the organ that stocks all the toxins that are eaten or consumed – alcohol, cigarettes, pesticides, coffee, excess fat and even stress, anger and sadness.
When the liver is overstocked, there is weight gain, feeling of fatigue, increase in cholesterol and even drab looking skin.
To aid the liver in eliminating the toxins, there is nothing easier. Eat and drink a lot of vitamins and minerals found in fruit juices and raw vegetables.
