Thank you Gedling Colonics 👌
As the warmer weather arrives and many of us enjoy a few more meals out, barbecues or drinks in the sunshine, it’s also a good time to think about supporting the liver, one of the hardest working organs in the body.
One of the most well-known herbs traditionally used to support liver health is Milk Thistle. Its active compound, Silymarin, is believed to help protect liver cells from oxidative stress and support the liver’s natural detoxification processes.
The liver works incredibly hard processing alcohol, medications, hormones and everyday toxins, so giving it some nutritional support — alongside moderation, hydration and a balanced diet — can be beneficial, particularly during periods when we may be indulging a little more than usual.
Simple ways to support your liver this summer:
* Stay well hydrated
* Don’t drink alcohol on an empty stomach
* Include bitter greens and colourful vegetables
* Keep ultra-processed foods lower where possible
* Consider herbs such as milk thistle as part of a healthy lifestyle
Your gut and liver work closely together, so looking after both can make a real difference to how you feel overall.
