A quiet afternoon with my great-grandson at Ruocco Park, along the Port of San Diego. These are the moments I hold close.

Did you know that the liver’s job is to filter and neutralize the harmful substances in your body so that they do not do any damage? When there is a toxic buildup in the liver and gallbladder, the body can start to experience physical reactions such as exhaustion, colds, weight gain, and depression. When imbalances exist in the body, it is not uncommon to experience feelings of anger, headaches, rashes, and/or sleepless nights. With over 500 metabolic processes, the liver is the ‘Master Detoxer’ of the body. When the liver is congested, your digestion is impaired which results in a toxic overload.
Dark, leafy greens like kale, Swiss chard, and spinach are all wonderful choices for the liver. Other crops that are especially productive in assisting the detoxification process include:
Artichoke: A wonderful choice for the liver and the gallbladder because it increases bile flow.
Asparagus: Helps cleanse the kidneys and reduces water retention. It is also a rich source of folate as well as being high in glutathione, a vital antioxidant for detox.
Dandelion: Stimulates the digestive juices. Helps to digest fats and supports the body’s natural detoxification processes. You can juice with dandelion leaves, cook with dandelion leaves, and drink dandelion tea.
Garlic: Antibacterial, anti-viral, anti-fungal, and anti-cancer. Garlic is one of the best antioxidants and is vital for proper detoxification.
Nettles: Rich in antioxidants, minerals, vitamins, and a natural source of iron. Nettle is also fabulous for strengthening the liver, adrenals, and kidneys. Wonderful in tea form, can be taken up to 3 times a day for extra nourishment during a detox.
Peas: Rich in vegan protein and packed with essential nutrients. An ideal food to substitute for heavier protein sources during a detox or a liver-cleansing diet.

Good Bacteria is essential for proper digestion, and ultimately a healthy immune system.
Did you know that 80% of your immune system is in your belly? In order for your body to thrive, you must make sure that your belly is balanced with good bacteria. Fermented foods are an amazing way to bring the body back into balance. They not only have nutritive properties, but they also improve digestion and the process of eliminating toxins.

Discover the amazing benefits of nutmeg! Just a small amount can help reduce flatulence, aid digestion, and even improve your appetite. Plus, it's great for treating diarrhea, vomiting, and nausea. To keep that wonderful nutmeg flavor fresh, try using whole nutmeg and grating it yourself. It's easy and will last indefinitely. Happy cooking!
Who knew that nutmeg could do so much? In small doses, it can help reduce flatulence, improve digestion, boost the appetite, and even treat diarrhea, vomiting, and nausea! If you want to make the most of nutmeg's benefits, opt for whole nutmeg instead of ground nutmeg. It lasts indefinitely and you can easily grate it whenever you need to add a flavorful touch to your dishes.
