Eating healthy is very important to maintaining a system that will work for you and not against you. It is so important to pay attention to the foods that you eat and how they make you feel, both right after you eat and several hours later. A good rule of thumb is:
- Make sure you eat foods that are as natural as possible.
- Eat what is in season.
- Eat foods that make you feel good. As stated above pay attention to how foods make you feel not just how they taste.
- If possible always eat organic.
- East foods that are warming and alkalizing. Many disorders women face thrive in the acidic environment caused by overconsumption of sweets and carbs.
Alkaline foods such as dark green leafy veggies, steamed grains, fish that is of high quality and sour fruits like lemons, grapefruits and sour cherries are great for creating a healthy alkalizing environment.
The liver is our largest and most diversified organ. The liver performs more functions than any other organ of the body. When we experience menstrual irregularities, PMS, menopausal problems, erratic mood swings and fibrocystic conditions, the health of the liver should be paid special attention. It is the body’s master detoxifier and cleanses the system not only of environmental toxins but also of metabolic wastes.
The health of the entire body including our reproductive organs are directly related to the well-being of the liver. Many of the herbs that are recommended for the reproductive system are also beneficial to the liver.
Liver cleansing herbs that work great are:
- dandelion
- yellow dock
- milk thistle seed
- burdock
- garlic
- wild yam
- red clover flowers
