Liver: Prioritizes Detoxification Over Weight Loss

I need a maid. I often find that I have time to keep a perfectly clean house or get things done. Since I prefer to get things done, housework often takes a backseat. It gets done a little less frequently than would be ideal.

Our bodies also find themselves forced into this place of prioritization when it comes to detoxification and burning fat. This is because our liver, our main organ that’s responsible for detoxification, is also responsible for burning fat. And because so many people take in numerous chemicals each day that require detoxification, our bodies de-prioritize burning fat in favor of detoxification. They do this the same way I’m currently de-prioritizing doing the dishes to write this article.

However, if you want to make weight loss easy you’ll need to get your liver, your prime detoxification and fat burning organ, back on your side. And you can do this by cleaning out the toxins that are currently stored in your liver and throughout your body.

Your liver is a filter for your blood. It filters out the toxins and chemicals that are common in diet and lifestyle habits. And like the air filter in your car, your liver also becomes congested and clogged with toxins. Some estimates are that over three fourth’s of the space in this four to five pound organ are currently occupied by storing toxins in most people’s bodies. Since I’ve actively cleaned enormous amounts of toxicity from my liver, and far more from the rest of my body, you’re not going to hear me argue with this seemingly large estimate.

With body and liver cleansing techniques you can actually clean out these toxins from your liver to give it the space it needs to burn fat. You can also adopt, as much as possible, a chemical-free lifestyle to dramatically reduce the number of chemicals coming into your body, which will free up some of your liver’s time and energy to burn fat.

A simple way to do this is by choosing most of your menu items from the produce aisle of your organic grocery store. If you need to learn a few new food preparation techniques to make this new style of eating both easy and delicious, by all means do so.

Buying your soaps, shampoos, and detergents at a health food store will also considerably cut back on the number and harshness of chemicals that regularly enter the body through the skin. Finding natural cosmetics is another a step in the right direction – and all of these small steps translate to big improvements for both health and weight loss. In fact, you’ll be amazed at what a big difference they can make.
