Spring Health Tips

There are many things you can do on your own to assist with general health and the health and function of the liver to relieve Spring-related discomforts and illnesses:

• Gentle stretching exercises stimulate the tendons, which are governed by the liver. By stretching you relieve stresses that congest the liver, thereby providing an internal massage that calms and stimulates healthy liver function.

• Avoid eating heavy oils; use sesame, or an organic olive oil instead. Stay away from greasy, fried foods. Remember that saturated fats, like butter and cheese, make the liver work harder.
• Moderate alcohol intake. And if you're having heat-related problems, like skin rashes and hives, stay away from alcohol all together.
