Live and Let Liver!

By Dr. Don

Fall officially began this week. At the change of each season, a three-day fast can really help you to detoxify and reset your appetite so your body craves the foods that build health, renewed energy and long-term wellness.

Resetting your appetite helps you to break your addictions to junk food, sugar and all those mal-nourishing man-made foods. Your body will start to want whole foods, fruits and vegetables—the God-made foods that build health, not love-handles.

Remember, while you fast, drink plenty of pure water and 100% fruit or vegetable juices-preferably not from concentrate. If you have a juicer, this is the perfect opportunity to get it down from that high shelf in the pantry and put it to work. And, make sure you benefit from the targeted nutrition provided by It Works’ It’s Vital and Greens.

Fasting can revitalize your liver and kidneys. Your liver and kidneys are vital to your very survival. Why? They filter out the toxins in the bloodstream, allowing the entire body to ultimately become toxin-free. Modern life often dumps more toxins in than our liver and kidneys can handle. Fasting gives these vital organs a break, a chance to catch up on their detoxification work and an opportunity to rebuild.

When fat breaks down, where does it go? Out through the liver and kidneys. If your liver and kidneys are not up to snuff, your attempts at weight loss will be less effective.

As toxins make their way out, they don’t always leave quietly. You may experience headaches, irritability, minor aches and pains, fatigue or even a minor skin rash. Don’t let these symptoms scare you off from your fast. In fact, welcome them—as they are indications that your fast is making good progress in eliminating toxins.

To help build support your body as it eliminates toxins, It Work’s Regular aids in elimination and helps restore and support normal colon function naturally. Using Regular ensures daily removal of toxins and waste material and offers a gentle way to cleanse the colon, as you fast and every day of your healthy life.
