P.O.R.N. Diets

I am coining this term as I feel some of the diets out there are so radical they need to be discussed in one place.

We here from our favorite celebrities daily and some of us live for this. We follow them on Twitter, talk about them on Bebo and MySpace or e mail each other about them especially when a new diet is talked about.

There have been some over the top radical diets in the past like the 'Air diet', not a very popular one for obvious reasons unlike the 'Chocolate' diet. Then there is the more main stream 'Atkins' diet or 'The Dash Diet' or even 'The South Beach Diet'. All have there plus and minus points and their advocates and nay sayers as well.

The trick when it comes to diets if there is a trick in selecting one would be to thoroughly research the topic. The mere fact that there literally are thousands of diets commercially available shown on television, billboards or even your local Chemist shop.

Here will be many, many articles pertaining to the topic of P.O.R.N. Diets circulating our media and your opinion on them is most welcome. Maybe you have been on one and would like to praise it or maybe warn others away from it. Whatever you may like to share, diet related, please do.

Why Is Liver Detox So Important?

By Mark Lee

The liver is the largest glandular organ with a primary role of detoxification of many harmful substances in the body into less harmful forms which is easily eliminated. It produces substances that break down fats, converts glucose to glycogen, forms urea, makes certain amino acids, and stores vitamins A, D, K and B12. Liver problems can occur due to poor diet, allergens, pollutants and fatigue. A compromised liver is toxic, congested, sluggish and unable to perform its vital functions effectively.

Liver detoxification is a very advantageous way to keep the organ working at its best. Due to the constant onslaught that the liver is exposed to through bad diet, harmful liver-damaging substances intake, it is naturally a wise approach to give liver detoxification a chance to help optimize liver function.

Some of the methods to achieve liver detoxification include milk thistle, coffee enema and consuming detoxification super foods. Milk thistle is one of the most effective herbs known for relieving liver disorders. The key chemical ingredient that makes this possible is silymarin. It has antioxidant properties that protect liver cells from chemical oxidation. Its anti inflammatory effects keep liver cells from swelling during an injury response, which encourages liver cell growth.

The use of coffee enema for detoxification of the liver is well known too. It opens up the bile duct of the liver so that elimination to the colon is done fairly quickly. Through the administration of the coffee enema rectally, it promotes liver detoxification aiding the process of fat-soluble toxins to be converted to water-soluble elements that is readily eliminated.

Detoxification of the liver by eating foods that aid the process is one of the key ways to keep the body in an alkaline state. Organic food, fruits and vegetables that are raw ensure the body the highest level of nutrients. Balanced with protein and grains, the body is able to remain in a healthy alkaline state that helps liver detoxification. These super foods include apple, olive oil, onion, artichoke, asparagus and parsley.

The advantages that can be gained from liver detoxification are limitless. From an improved sense of well being, radiant skin complexion, increased energy and concentration, weight loss to efficient digestion, the effects are all around. Though some people may present undesirable symptoms such as skin break outs, diarrhea, headaches and bad breath, these are not abnormal but can be controlled by taking liver-supportive supplements and antioxidants.

Yet, the advice and help from a certified physician is the best if one is unsure about ones health risks or the presence of major liver disorder like hepatitis or cirrhosis. The doctor is able to develop a liver detoxification plan that is well suited to ones condition. The many beneficial effects of a really healthy liver clearly overshadow the distress one goes through during liver detoxification. Get liver detoxification done, to keep your liver at its best.
