Reliable research indicates that one in three of us is carrying excess fat due to a sluggish liver caused by toxins. This creates fat build up around our abdominal area. Science has shown that abdominal fat can lead to a person's risk of diabetes, heart disease, stroke and some types of cancer. Clinical trials show that Milk Thistle contains silymarin which increases the growth of healthy liver cells. The recommended dose is 300mg daily.
A healthy liver needs regular doses of the antioxidants. Cutting down on pain relievers is another step in having a healthy liver as well as daily exercise. Walking is considered an excellent form of exercise because it activates the liver's detox process. You are ultimately responsible for the health of your body and having a healthy liver is primary to living a healthy life.
When body fat begins to accumulate, that usually means toxins are accumulating too. The body retains fats as a way to protect the vital organs in the body from the toxins that we ingest (and create through stress). Body fat accumulation, especially around the mid section, is a visible sign of toxic build up and a good indication that the liver is not functioning as efficiently as it should.
If toxins build up faster than they can be eliminated, in an attempt to protect your organs, your body will actually make body fat for the specific purpose of storing toxins as far away from vital organs as possible. This fat is particularly stubborn fat that is very difficult to lose unless you decrease the toxic load and you do something to help your body detoxify.
So when we detoxify and cleanse the body of toxins, we give the body a chance to repair and strengthen itself - and when the toxins disappear, guess what happens to the protective layer of fat...yes, that disappears too!
