Feeling a little sluggish? The holidays tend to be rich in processed foods, fats and carbs. Since these foods are hard for your body to break down, they can lead to your liver working overtime. White foods, such as bread and pasta, and sugary candies strain your liver further as it works to keep your blood sugar levels stable. Here are three easy liver flush recipes to add into your day over the next couple weeks to support your liver post-holidays!
(If you don’t have a juicer, just blend and strain the fibre using a cheesecloth or coffee filter.)
