Supporting Your Body’s Cleansing Systems
4. Supporting Your Body's Cleansing Systems
Your liver filters 1.5 litres of blood per minute, and your kidneys process 7.5 litres per hour. Meanwhile, your digestive system works around the clock to break down food, absorb nutrients, and eliminate waste—24 hours a day, 365 days a year. These processes happen automatically, but it’s vital not to take them for granted or overwhelm these systems with toxins.
Supporting your detoxification pathways is essential for long-term health and longevity. The liver, gut, lymphatic system, and kidneys all need help to function optimally. Our approach focuses on natural cleansing through an alkalizing diet rich in chlorophyll-packed leafy greens and high-fiber foods that bulk up stool and capture toxins from the liver for elimination. Hydration is critical, as well as regular exercise, detox therapies, and targeted supplementation.
Additionally, reducing the intake of harmful substances like alcohol, cigarettes, and caffeine—or even taking periods of abstinence—can significantly enhance your body’s ability to detoxify.
