15 Ways To Strengthen Your Liver!!!

 

15 Ways to Boost Your Liver for Great Health

Your liver must perform over 500 functions, making it potentially one of the most overburdened organs in your body. Our modern lifestyle, replete with air pollution, food additives and high amounts of stress ensure that the liver has plenty to do.

So, it’s no surprise that the liver can become sluggish, making it a factor in many health. conditions, including: allergies, arthritis, asthma, bad breath, chronic fatigue syndrome, cravings for sweets, depression, environmental illness/multiple chemical sensitivities, fatigue, fibromyalgia, headaches and migraines, hepatitis, high blood pressure, high cholesterol levels, hypoglycemia, hormone imbalances, immune system disorders, irritable bowel syndrome, overweight or obesity, poor digestion, recurring nausea and/or vomiting, skin diseases, and ulcerative colitis. Of course there are other factors involved in these conditions so it is important to see a physician if you suffer from any of them.

Perhaps the most impressive thing about the liver is its ability to regenerate itself. When it is given the critical nutrients, a healthy whole foods diet, and herbs to help it function, it can be restored to health in most circumstances. Strengthening the liver is one of the ways to boost energy, balance weight, and strengthen overall health.

Here are 15 ways to give your liver a boost:

1. The liver requires high amounts of vitamins and minerals to perform its many functions. Your diet should be high in fruits and vegetables and fibrer-rich foods.

2. Your liver must filter food additives. Eliminate processed foods, artificial food additives, colors, and preservatives from your diet to give your liver a break.

3. Eat plenty of fresh carrots and beets, both of which are powerful liver cleansing and rebuilding foods. In addition, eat plenty of green foods. The chlorophyll, which gives plants their green color, helps cleanse the liver.

4. Try to eat two heaping tablespoons of ground flaxseeds. They bind to hormone receptor sites, preventing excess hormones including synthetic xenoestrogens from plastics and other chemicals, from floating around your bloodstream. One of the liver’s five hundred jobs is to filter excess hormones. By eating flaxseeds and flax oil you are helping it function more effectively. Flaxseeds can be sprinkled on cereal, toast, salads, or blended into smoothies.

5. There are many great herbs that help strengthen the liver, including: milk thistle, dandelion root, globe artichoke, turmeric, slippery elm, greater celandine, balmony, barberry, black root, blue flag, boldo, fringetree bark, vervain, and wahoo.

6. Significantly reduce refined sugar and avoid synthetic sweeteners altogether.

7. Lecithin helps the liver metabolize fats and reduce cholesterol. It contains a substance called phosphatidylcholine and essential fatty acids that help keep liver cells healthy and help prevent fatty deposits from building up in the liver. Lecithin also helps reduce high blood pressure by allowing the blood vessels to relax to allow better blood flow. You can get lecithin in organic soyfoods like soy milk, tofu, and miso, as well as organic eggs. Alternatively, take 4000 mg of lecithin in capsule form daily.

8. Take a high quality multivitamin and mineral supplement to avoid any deficiencies. The liver depends on many nutrients to detoxify properly. Even a single nutrient deficiency can be harmful.

9. In addition, take 1000 to 2000 mg of vitamin C daily, even if there is vitamin C in your multivitamin.

10. Eat lots of garlic, onions and broccoli since these foods contain sulfur that is required to increase enzyme activity that boosts liver cleansing. Without adequate levels of sulfur, the phase 2 of liver detoxification cannot keep pace with level 1, meaning that many toxins can become MORE dangerous in your body.

11. Avoid eating large meals. Instead, eat small meals made up of plenty easy-to-digest foods.

12. Eat steamed vegetables, raw salad greens, raw fruits, and bitter greens. The bitter greens, especially, help to cleanse the liver.

13. Eat whole, raw, unsalted nuts and seeds for their essential fatty acids as well as their usable protein.

14. Avoid eating heavy, fatty foods since they just create more work for the liver. Avoid margarine, shortening or commercial oils or any foods made with them.

15. Avoid eating for at least three hours before bedtime to allow the liver adequate time during the night to perform its many functions, unimpeded by other bodily processes like digestion.

Are You Moving Soon??? Dont forget the white newsprint!!

You Can make Moving Easier with the right Supplies!

It’s that time: Leases are up, you got that new out of town job, you’re going off to college or you and your sweetie are moving in together. Regardless of which one it is, it’s time for the dreaded moving process. Does it make your back hurt just thinking about it? That’s understandable. But did you know that there are many items and more that you can get from a discount packaging supply store that will significantly lessen that moving headache?
The first thing that you’re going to need is obvious: Boxes! But instead of asking all over the place or digging through the trash for beat-up and used boxes, you can get brand new ones for cheap! And many of them are specifically made for moving, such as the adjustable boxes that change size according to your need.
Your needs don’t stop with just boxes, though. You’re also going to need tape to securely close those boxes, and you can never underestimate the convenience of a tape dispenser – stop fumbling around using your fingers and a pair for scissors each time you want to seal a box! Another important item is cushioning for your delicates. Bubble wrap is great for your dishes and finery, and you can never go wrong with packing peanuts. You can also get mailing tubes for your posters, protective paper for your paintings, and of course labels for everything!
Moving can be a real pain, both literally and figuratively. You will be so surprised what a difference having the right tools and packing supplies can make of the whole experience; it can be a cinch if you’re prepared!

Something old...Something New...You can save with Poly!!!

Protect yourself from ATM Skim Scams!!

 

Don’t fall prey to ATM skimming scams. Scammers can quickly read a card’s information and use it to access your account fraudulently. With a small device, your card’s information gets stored so that criminals can easily get to it later.
Skimmers may be installed on ATM machines, and sometimes you can’t even notice them. A small device goes over the normal card reading slot and reads your card’s magnetic stripe. Skimmers can also be handheld devices that a dishonest merchant can keep in his pocket. While charging your card while you’re out at dinner, for example, a scammer can run your card through a skimmer as well.
To avoid any hassles, use these tricks to avoid getting caught in a skimming scam:

• Use secure ATM machines – under video surveillance or inside of a bank lobby. They're less likely to be tampered with. Thieves have to take more risk installing skimmers where there are security cameras.
• Cover the ATM keypad as you're entering your PIN -- just in case there's a hidden camera around.
• Skimming devices will stick out a few extra inches from an ATM. If something looks suspicious, find another ATM. Don't fall for a poor fitting device (or a sticker or sign that says "Swipe Here First", or “Use This Machine Only”).
• If a machine keeps your card, call the bank immediately and report it.
• Don't accept "help" from anybody hanging around the ATM machine. They may say they were having trouble also and you just need to enter your PIN again.
• Keep your eyes on your card if you have any doubts. Don't let a merchant walk off with your card -- even for a few seconds.

Profitable Reasons Why You Should Audit Your Stretch Film!!

Yes...with the constant introduction of new technologies...there are numerous new product introductions that can really impact your bottom line...
Call today to set up your Stretch Film Value Analysis!!

You Can Set a benchmark to ensure proper loading integrity by: Adjusting Film Force to prevent destruction of loads during and after wrapping. Increasing the prestretch to an minimum optimum level (175%) to increase film strength and film memory properties for superior load retention.Improve wrapping consistency thus eliminating wide variations in wrapping parameters. Can dramatically reduce stretch wrapping costs due to improved prestretch levels and reduction in total # of revolutions. Increase production speeds by reducing the # of revolutions. Provide the operators with the confirmed set-up and load parameters for stretch wrapping. Allow management to document, budget, coordinate, and anticipate stretch requirements and costs. Act as a comparison for future film audits. Once the work has been done on both the equipment and film to get the performance to where it needs to be, it must be maintained. Too often efficiencies can be lost during production without anyone noticing. Unlike most other packaging equipment, stretch wrap machinery does not necessarily stop when it ceases to function. It will still wrap the product but just apply much more film with less holding power. The result is a pallet load that cost 3 times as much in film and that can fail during transit. The audits service we provide ensures that this is caught before costing too much money. We can provide the following: Measure the various performance levels of the equipment and film. Prestretch, film force, film usage, Machine repeatability. Audit reports that tabulate present performance compared to past performance to ensure efficiencies are maintained. If the system is not meeting required performance, then recommendations for necessary improvements will be made.Confirm machine / film performance.
