Happy New Year ... now that you have survived the HOLIDAY nutritional challenge to your body ... it might be a good time to reflect on one of your INTERNAL components that may have been under some REAL STRESS during the HOLIDAY SEASON ... you know, the time of year when everyone has a reason to eat too much of the wrong stuff.

We  would like to RE-INTRODUCE you to your AMAZING LIVER!!!

• Largest internal organ - weighing about 3 lbs - very complex performing over 500 body         functions.
• You cannot survive over 24 hours without it.
• Responsible for making vital substances, such as proteins and processing nutrients.
• The major detoxifying organ in your body.
• Receives essential nutrients from the intestine, storing and secreting them as needed.
• Detoxifies toxic substances, rendering them less harmful to your body.
• Produces bile, which contains salts that are very important in the digestion of fats.
• Helps regulate blood sugar levels by storing and releasing sugar as glycogen, which is the  body's primary energy source.
• Produces approximately 400 enzymes which facilitate many body functions, including but not limited to digestion.
  
  Many things increase the work our LIVER must do to keep us healthy and alive:
   
• Waste and toxins BUILD UP in the body from modern lifestyles
• Years of FAST FOOD.
• Cigarettes
• Drugs
• Alcohol
• Pollutants
• Preservatives and other toxic substances
  
  They add burden our systems and challenge the liver's ability to function effectively.  Then add to all that:
   
• Indigestion
• Constipation
• Illness
• Stress
• Sedentary Lifestyles
  
  and you have a recipe for BAD HEALTH.
   
  LOVE your LIVER ... YOU only have ONE!!
   
  ...just a few things you can do to enhance your immune system and promote the health of your liver:
   
• Drink Clean Water:  Every healing process that occurs in the body involves water.  Our body instinctively strives to be healthy and sustain youthful longevity, and water is the key.
• Purge Parasites:  Dead parasites act as the center for cholesterol to form gallstones.  Groups of bacteria have the same effect.  Worms and parasites can only feed on DEAD ANIMAL materials in the body.
• Reduce Red Meats: Too much red meat will increase your cholesterol and strain your live(You know where we stand on this one!!)
• Drink fruits and Veggies:  Fresh juices are rich in vitamins, minerals and enzymes, and are an easy way to clean out toxins.  They also reduce cravings for alcohol and sweet things.
• Forgo the FATS:  Especially fried and junk foods, dairy, hydrogenated fats and oils.
• Think Green:  Green salads, green vegetables, spirulina-rich chlorophyll, chlorella and barley grass helps boost metabolism and the immune system.
• Alcohol and Caffeine:  They POISON the LIVER!  Drink WATER instead.
• Sufficient Sleep:  It increases melatonin, neutralizes free radicals and regenerates the body.
• Promote BILE: Artichoke, dandelion, beets and radishes increases bile flow and toxin removal.
• Exercise:  Building strong bones and muscles provides a reserve to fight the physical complications of liver disease.
• DON'T do DRUGS:  Avoid street drugs, prescriptions and over-the-counter medications, including anti-inflammatories, antibiotics, pain killers, etc.
• Avoid TOXINS:  All CHEMICALS harm the liver - avoid any exposure!
• Stop Stress:  Stress doesn't directly cause disease, but it contributes by suppressing the immune  system which increases vulnerability to disease.
• Refuse Tobacco:  Along with nicotine, tobacco contains carcinogens, which increases the   for cancer.
• ATTITUDE:  Laughter and a positive attitude help many cope better with disease.  Positi thinking is a powerful tool that we all have access to, but few use fully.
• Oxygenate Blood:  Toxin-loaded blood from a weak liver has limited capacity to carry oxygen;  brain cells are affected the most.  Oxygenate the blood with deep breathing and brisk walks.
   
  I do hope that in some small way this information will help to make 2009 a HAPPIER AND HEALTHIER year for you and all the ones you love. 

  KIWI FRUIT

Blood flow to the eyes and visual cortex

A blood thinning alternative to Aspirin

• A couple each day can significantly lower your risk for blood clots and reduce the amount of fats (triglycerides) in your blood.
• An alternative to Aspirin for protecting cardiovascular health (aspirin and other NSAIDs such as Thlenol and Ibuprofen can cause inflammation, ulcers and bleeding in the intestinal tract.)
• 100,000 people hospitalized and 10,000 to 20,000 die from NASID-related complications each year.
• Kiwi is an excellent source of Vitamins C (more than an orange)and E, polyphenols, magnesium, potassium, and copper - all working together to protect the blood vessels and the heart.
• It is the most nutrient dense of all the major fruits.
• Lutein - effective in reducing the risk of heart disease and cancer.   May help prevent cataracts & macular degeneration.  A serving (two medium sized ones) is the richest source of lutein in the plant food world right behind yellow corn.
• Contains soluble fiber that protects the heart and pancreas and insoluble fiber that reduces the risk of some cancers, constipation and diverticulitis.
• Copper - vital for the growth of infants, bone strength, brain development, the making of red blood cells and building a strong immune system.
• The heart works more efficiently with the help of potassium from fruits and vegetables.  Potassium is significant in controlling blood pressure - (the silent killer)- heart activity and maintaining fluid balance.  A serving of  kiwi fruit out ranks bananas as the top, high potassium fruit.
• Folate, magnesium and vitamin E are well represented in kiwifruit - benefits from bone formation to reduced heart disease.  Folate helps protect against birth defects, cancer and heart disease.  Magnesium - bone formation, heart rhythm regulation, muscle relaxation and nerve function.  Vitamin E - risk of heart disease, cancer and exercise-induced oxidative damage.
