Ginger Orange Liver Lover's Shake
This smoothie recipe is inspired by the lemon liver cleanse of Christopher Hobbs.
Ginger helps counter liver toxicity by increasing bile secretion. It has potent anti-microbial and anti-oxidant qualities as well.
Garlic stimulates the production of detoxifying enzymes in the liver that neutralize carcinogens and other toxins. Garlic also possesses the ability to inhibit the growth of parasites in the intestines.
