MORNING RITUALS 🪶
🍋 Drink room temperature water (or warm water) with lemon. This will aid your digestion, support your lymphatic system in removing metabolic waste and help carry nutrients to your cells. Please continue to drink plenty of water throughout the day.
💧 Liver Flush Drink
In a blender, combine 1 grapefruit, peeled & chopped, 1 lemon,
peeled & chopped, 2 Tbsp olive oil, a pinch of cinnamon (or
cayenne if you can tolerate it), 1-2 tsp. ground flax seeds, a
pinch or two of freshly sliced ginger, 1/2 - 3/4 cup water. Blend
on high until smooth. Drink & enjoy! Note: Wait approx 1-2
hours after to eat.
The value of cleansing the Liver: In Chinese Medicine the Liver & Gallbladder organs are an important indicator of health. These organs filter blood from your digestive tract, break down fat in your intestines, detoxify chemicals & drugs, and produces a whopping 25-50% of lymph that flows through the thoracic duct. Some of the emotions associated with these organs are anger, irritability, impatience, rigidity, indecision, and nervousness. ~ Give this drink a try if you can relate to any of these feelings! (Don’t drink if you’re pregnant or nursing as you don’t need to cleanse now.)
Grapefruit contains two primary antioxidants: naringin and naringenin. These may help protect the liver from injury by reducing inflammation and protecting the liver cells.
