I like to collect articles I think people should know about and put them together and send them out every so often:

I don’t follow, and tend to not have any respect for mainstream or “pop” nutrition. You know – the nutritionist on the morning news who is telling you to feed your child a whole wheat bagel for breakfast.

Broccoli is a great food for your liver and to combat stress. It contains Vitamins A, C, K, Fiber, Potassium, Calcium and Magnesium. Find more about the 7 Vital Nutrients in Broccoli.

Remember: Doctors test for liver damage – not impairment. What do I mean by that? If your liver enzymes are elevated, your liver is damaged, not just impaired or a little under the weather. You need to quit doing whatever you are doing that is damaging your liver and start a lifestyle change that will support your liver. This is a good article that will explain why your liver is so important.

These recommendations are for the reduction of stress only. They are not intended as treatment or prescription for any disease, or as a substitute for regular medical care.
