Still not sure about detoxing?

Here is a great short science-based article discussing how the detoxifying enzymes in broccoli 🥦🥬 (and other cruciferous veggies) enhance liver function and "boosts our liver’s ability to clear chemicals from our body" and science shows "how dramatically the levels of these carcinogenic compounds [cancer causing chemicals] circulating in their bodies drops".

This is very powerful information when experiencing health and weight issues because most of the time the liver needs some desperate attention in order to detox access toxins, hormones, and histamine from the body in order to decrease inflammation! 🥦💚🥬💚🥦💚🥬

Researchers just found out that the boost in detoxifying enzymes triggered by cruciferous vegetable consumption may last for weeks! Last spring in my post The Best Detox I described this amazing phenomenon in which a phytonutrient produced by broccoli can enhance the function of our so-called phase....

I’ve been talking to my clients recently about the immune system. I don’t see a lot of press on how we can improve our immune systems, especially in light of the current covid scare. There are several things we can all do to improve our immune system to make sure we stay healthy, especially during this up coming cold and flu season (this is a long post, but stay with me):

👉 Improve your gut health – 70% of our immune system resides in our guts (aka, microbiome) (see more info below)
👉 Take Vitamin D3 – This is very important for our immune system and most people (especially in the Northwest where I live) are quite deficient.
👉 Eats lots of veggies, fruits, legumes, and whole grains – These foods are full of micronutrients (vitamins, minerals, and phytonutrients) and fiber that are essential for good health!
👉 Do quarterly or bi-annual detox/cleanses (see more info below)

MICROBIOME:

Did you know that about 70% of your immune system resides in your gut? The gut is considered our second brain for a reason! OHSU discusses the significant role our gut has on our immune system “with links that lead to a range of diseases, including celiac disease and inflammatory bowel disease. Obesity may be related. And some studies have found relevance to depression, late-onset autism, allergies, asthma and cancer." (1. Source below)
In short, our gut is largely responsible for keeping us either disease free, healthy and happy, OR highly inflamed, sick, and miserable. I know probiotics have been getting some press lately but a healthy gut extends far beyond just taking a probiotic. Some things that help a healthy gut are:

👉 Healthy diet full of fiber foods (aka, prebiotics) including veggies, fruit, whole grains, legumes, nuts and seeds which all help feed our microbiome (3. source below)
👉 Flax Seeds - They are amazing for decreasing overall inflammation (2. source below.)
👉 Avoidance of animal products, especially dairy (4. source below)

DETOXING:

Have you heard of Autophagy? AUTOPHAGY is the fancy way for scientists to say DETOX. You may have seen people online talk about how there is no such thing as cleansing or detoxing. Well, that is just inaccurate information coming from people who don’t understand the science behind detoxing. No. 5 below is a study to show that autophagy/detoxing is very real and very beneficial to eliminating toxins and promoting healthy cells, thereby improving diseases including autoimmune diseases and even cancer.
Here’s what the article says: Autophagy “plays a housekeeping role in removing misfolded or aggregated proteins, clearing damaged organelles, such as mitochondria, endoplasmic reticulum and peroxisomes, as well as eliminating intracellular pathogens… giving it a key role in preventing diseases such as cancer, neurodegeneration, cardiomyopathy, diabetes, liver disease, autoimmune diseases and infections…in diseases, such as neuropathies (Huntington's, Alzheimer's and Parkinson's diseases) and ischemic heart disease, autophagy is more widely accepted as beneficial given its role in eliminating ‘toxic assets’ and promoting cell viability. Thus, autophagy has emerged as a new and potent modulator of disease progression that is both scientifically intriguing and clinically relevant”

The Physician's Committee for Responsible Medicine just announced another new study showing the clear dangers of consuming dairy:

"Higher intakes of cow’s milk are associated with an increased risk for breast cancer, according to a new study funded by the National Cancer Institute, National Institutes of Health, and the World Cancer Research Fund and published in the International Journal of Epidemiology. Researchers followed 52,795 women who were part of the Adventist Health Study-2 cohort and found that women who consumed 1/4 to 1/3 cup of cow’s milk per day had a 30 percent increased chance for breast cancer. One cup per day increased the risk by 50 percent, and 2-3 cups were associated with an 80 percent increased chance of breast cancer. Replacing dairy milk with soy milk was associated with a 32 percent reduced risk of breast cancer. The authors suggest caution with the current government recommendations to consume three glasses of milk per day.
