How much fiber you need 🤷♀️
Nutritional guidelines for Americans recommend getting 14 grams of fiber for every 1000 calories in the diet.
💥 So we’re talking 25-30 grams of fiber per day for most adults.
Here are some foods to help you get there!
✔️1 cup raspberries (8g)
✔️ 1 cup broccoli (5g)
✔️ 2 carrots (3g)
✔️ 1 cup quinoa (5g)
✔️ 1 cup black beans (15g)
✔️ 1 ounce chia seeds (10g)
Think fruits, veggies, nuts, seeds, legumes, and whole grains.
You can do this 🙌
This could be why 👇
Caffeine is metabolized in the liver, but not everyone metabolizes it at the same speed.
This depends largely on the activity of a certain enzyme (called CYP1A2).
Depending on the activity of this enzyme, you could be a slow metabolizer or a fast metabolizer of caffeine.
Slow metabolizers feel the effects of caffeine more intensely—with jitters, nervousness, restlessness, racing heart, or trouble sleeping.
Fast metabolizers don’t.
🧬 This is based on genetics!
The best thing to do is to know your limits and not buy into the caffeine culture if it doesn’t work for you ☕
👀 Hello up there! Take a second with me here because I have the simplest way anyone can improve their detoxification for FREE ➡️➡️
Move Your Body 💃🕺
When you move, your muscles contract and act like a pump for your lymphatic system.
Your lymphatics are a central part of your immune and detoxification systems, which is why we want to improve lymphatic flow (maybe you’ve heard of lymphatic massage—that works too!).
Whether you prefer to walk, run, jump on a trampoline, do yoga, or dance…
Moving will help your detoxification systems work better 🎉
Leave us a comment with you favorite way to move your body! 💃
Just pick ONE ⬇️⬇️
This is some simple stuff you can do to naturally support your body’s everyday detoxification that has absolutely nothing to do with what you eat 🙌
✔️ Dry Skin Brush
✔️ Castor Oil Packs
✔️ Epsom Salt Baths
✔️ Rebound Trampoline
✔️ Deep Breathing
✔️ Go to Bed On Time
The thing about detoxification is that your body is doing it every day without you even thinking about it.
These things work because they support one or more of your detoxification pathways—your liver, gut, kidneys, lymphatics, lungs, & skin.
💖 The easiest and most effective way to love your liver…
Is to eat nutrient-dense whole foods 🥗
That’s because there are 2 phases of liver detoxification, each of which depends upon a steady supply of nutrients to keep it going. Nutrients that are in foods like…
🥦 Cruciferous Vegetables (foods like broccoli, cauliflower, kale, and collards support both phases of liver detoxification)
🧄 Garlic & Onions (these provide sulfur compounds, vitamin B6, and antioxidants)
🫐 Blueberries (contain polyphenols to support antioxidant status)
🥣 Turmeric (a powerful health-promoting spice!)
🍵 Green Tea (rich in EGCG & antioxidants)
Think of it this way:
Your liver is working around the clock to process chemicals and toxins for elimination. If it doesn’t have the nutrients it needs, detox will slow down and you’ll start to feel the effects on your health.
Save this post 📍 and commit to eating at least one of these foods every day!
