Over 50 million people across the globe will suffer from liver disease at some point in their lives.
While cutting back on your alcohol intake and maintaining a healthy diet and exercise routine can help to boost your liver health, sometimes good habits alone are not enough.
Especially if youve been feeling a bit off recently, or if you have a history of liver problems in your family, consider doing a liver cleanse.
But how does a liver cleanse work, what are the signs that you need to do a liver detox, and what kinds of benefits can you expect from the process?
Common Signs of Poor Liver Health
First, lets discuss the signs that youre likely in need of a liver cleanse.
Have you noticed that you seem to be retaining much more water recently? Are your legs and stomach swelling up even though you havent made any dietary changes?
This fluid retention could be a sign of cirrhosis, which is a serious liver disease that causes scar tissue to take the place of your liver tissue.
Jaundice, or the yellowing of the skin and sometimes the darkening of urine, is another sign that you should consider a liver detox. It shows that your liver is no longer capable of converting bilirubin into bile, a huge part of liver function.
The appearance of numerous varicose veins, bleeding gums, frequent nosebleeds, and even unexplained exhaustion may also be signs of a problem with your liver.
Some people may even experience a sense of confusion and memory loss due to the presence of toxins in the brain.
Now, lets discuss how to detox and cleanse your liver naturally and safely.
Above all else, youll need to cut out toxins from your diet to have a successful liver cleanse, replacing those unhealthy foods with herbs and nutrient-rich meals.
First, cut out foods that have high trans fat levels, which are often found in fast/processed foods. Instead, fill up on foods that will naturally detox your liver like sweet potatoes, tomato sauces/purees, bananas, and lima/kidney beans.
Also eat more cabbage, Brussels sprouts, beets, and leafy greens.
If you can, incorporate more raw foods and raw veggie/fruit juices into your diet, as well. Especially if youre already suffering from a damaged liver, getting your fruits and vegetables in a juice makes them much easier for you to digest.
Of course, cut out alcohol and artificial sweeteners during your cleanse, as well. Drink at least eight glasses of water with lemon (to boost your vitamin C levels) every day.
Speaking of vitamins, we also suggest that you take a few important supplements over the course of your liver detox.
Vitamin B, milk thistle, and Vitamin A are especially key. You may also opt to take fish oil and a daily iron supplement to ensure that your body is getting all the required nutrients given what you had to remove from your diet.
Finally, especially if your liver damage is advanced, you may even consider trying a coffee enema.
These enemas help to increase your livers ability to produce bile and stops the absorption of toxins. Coffee enemas may also be able to increase your bodys ability to produce glutathione, which is a powerful detoxifying agent.

The Benefits of a Liver Cleanse
We know that completely overhauling your diet can seem like a huge commitment.
So, is it really worth it?
Your liver performs countless essential functions, including processing nutrients, ensuring your blood sugar levels stay healthy, and even metabolizing your medications.
Your liver also stores minerals like Vitamin A and iron, gets rid of damaged blood cells, and removes ammonia and other toxins from your body.
By committing to a liver cleanse, youll do much more than just lower your risk of liver disease and other serious health problems.
Youll also notice a sharp increase in your energy levels because youre now able to absorb much more of the nutrients from your diet.
Youll likely also experienced improved focus, better memory recall, and have to deal with far fewer of those crashes and fuzzy moments throughout the day.
In some cases, because your body is now able to better metabolize fats, you may even notice a bit of weight loss. (Please note, however, that a liver cleanse is not a detox that focuses on weight loss.)
Finally, a liver cleanse will also help to strengthen your overall immune system. Anything you can do to ward off those pesky seasonal colds that seem to stick around for weeks is always a good thing.
