Memorial Day Liver Support

This weekend may be like many other weekends for you, or it may be the first chance you’ve had in a while to take some time off to spend with friends in family. Either way there’s a good chance that a fair amount of alcohol will be involved. So while you are enjoying your mini vacation remember that your liver is right there with you working overtime.
Your liver is one of the body’s most vital of organs. It processes dozens of metabolic reactions every second of every day, keeping the body nourished and in balance. It also removes toxins that our body is exposed to every day to protect us and keep us healthy – these toxins include alcohol. So help your liver do its job and protect it with some of these simple tips.
One, while you are dinking this weekend, try to remember to stay hydrated. You’ve heard it before, and now you are going to hear it again, 8 – 8oz glasses of water per day, a total of 64 oz, is the body’s required water intake. Staying hydrated regularly will help your liver do its job more efficiently and protect it from burning out. In addition to drinking water regularly try to drink a glass of water or two between cocktails. This will also help with the hangover.
Second, try incorporating liver supporting herbs into your daily supplements. You should especially consider this option if you consume alcohol regularly. Milk Thistle with Dandelion is an herb that will protect the liver cells and help restore them when they are worn out. Take 3 capsules in the morning and 3 more in the evening. Continue this regime for at least 2 weeks, longer if you drink more often than this weekend.
Most important Have Fun this weekend, and remember its always better to pay for a taxi than a DUI.
