The Liver
The health of your liver plays a huge role in the health of your skin. The more toxic your liver is, the more likely you are to develop wrinkles and other skin problems that are typically associated with aging. Many people's livers are burdened with toxins. Many of us enter the world with toxins already built up from plastics, petrol oil, DDT, toxic heavy metals, and other toxins that are passed on from our forefathers. I discuss this unknown truth and many others in the books, Life-Changing Foods, Liver Rescue, and Thyroid Healing.
Many things happen inside your liver. The tremendous amount of blood that floods into the liver not only contains oxygen and nutrients, but it also has toxins the liver must filter out. Once the liver cleanses and processes the blood, it sends that blood to various areas of the body. If the liver directs blood that contains unfavorable material to the skin, you may develop liver spots, wrinkles, flabby skin, and other issues. Some people inherit incredibly toxic livers, and as a result they're forced to deal with major skin, hair, and nail issues, sometimes beginning early in life. Fortunately, there are ways to clear out these toxins and heal your skin. For more on this topic, including in-depth guidance on how to heal the liver, check out Liver Rescue.
Support for Your Skin
You can help your adrenals, cleanse your liver and support your skin with these practices:
- Drink 16oz of straight cucumber juice daily—it's a phenomenal practice for promoting liver and skin health.
- Avoid fried foods, eggs, dairy, gluten, pork, canola oil, corn, and soy, and keep your fat intake low. Your liver can be burdened by too much fat, and if you want healthy skin, you must support the liver. Read Liver Rescue to understand what an ideal amount of fat is and which foods to avoid or emphasize.
- Eat more beta-carotene-rich foods. Beta-carotene is critical for healthy skin, and it's found in a number of fruits and vegetables. When you provide your body with carotenes, the liver can send carotene-rich blood through the subcutaneous fat up to the skin. The liver can label and slightly alter the carotene so that it survives the trip to the dermis (a layer of skin below the outer epidermis layer). The liver is a master at manipulating chemical compounds, and it allows a completely different form of methylation than science and research are currently familiar with. When the liver knows carotenes are available to send to the skin, it fuels the delivery differently by making sure that there's ample oxygen in the blood that supplies the carotenes to the dermis. This incredible process hasn't been discovered yet. Foods high in beta-carotene include mangoes, papayas, mamey sapote, sweet potatoes, raspberries, colorful melons, and leafy greens like spinach.
- Eat foods that contain silica. It'll be years before science and research discover that there are two different kinds of silica. One type offers tremendous support for the bones and the other is particularly helpful for the skin. This second variety of silica is in vegetables, including asparagus, artichokes, and kale stems.
- Horsetail and nettle contain both varieties of silica, and when you ingest either herb, your liver separates out the two kinds of silica and delivers each to the area they best support. A high-quality silica supplement that supports bone health can provide a number of additional benefits.
- Rid your liver of pesticides, heavy metals, and other toxins. One great way to remove these toxins is by eating the top five foods for detoxifying heavy metals from the body: wild blueberries, cilantro, spirulina, barley grass juice powder, and Atlantic dulse.
- Stay hydrated. Hydration is essential for healthy skin. People who are chronically dehydrated can actually have skin that's deficient of water. Drink lemon water, celery juice, and other healing liquids, including fresh fruit and vegetable juices daily.
Liver Health
If your liver is overburdened with toxins, you're more likely to experience hair problems, hair loss, and scalp issues, like dermatitis, eczema, or psoriasis.
Supportive Supplements & Teas
Skin, hair, and nail formulas may have a minuscule amount of beneficial ingredients, such as horsetail or nettle leaf, but they're also usually packed with fillers and other ingredients that aren't helpful. If you want to support your hair, or if you have alopecia, consider these supplements:
- Ashwagandha, a powerful herb that can support adrenals and transform the hair health.
- Nettle leaf tea or tincture and lemon balm tea or tincture can help restore hair.
- Milk thistle can support the liver and revitalize hair.
- A high-quality liquid zinc sulfate is beneficial for a host of health issues, including hair, skin, and nail health.
- Spirulina and barley grass juice powder support hair.
Zinc Deficiencies, Adrenaline, & Liver Issues
Do your nails have white spots, divots, ridges, pockets, bubbles, or vanishing half moons? A long-standing zinc deficiency is typically part of the reason for nail issues. The second part of the problem is usually liver-related. When you experience an emotionally-charged situation, whether it's falling in love or enduring a breakup, adrenaline often surges through your system. The adrenaline can break down the body if proper adrenal support isn't in place. Frequent adrenaline rushes can harm the liver and lead to thin, brittle, unhealthy nails. Fortunately, there are supplements and foods that can help restore the underlying issues that result in poor nail health.
Supportive Supplements
When it comes to restoring nails, people often become focused on protein deficiency. Instead, shift your focus to providing your body with the vitamins and minerals that can revitalize your nails:
- Zinc is a critical supplement for restoring nails. Pumpkin seeds contain some zinc and can be a great addition to your diet. However, a zinc supplement (as liquid zinc sulfate) is essential for almost everyone.
- Selenium is another great support for nail health.
- Ionic manganese free of citric acid, molybdenum, and silica can also help.
If you work with a practitioner to bring in these supplements and support your liver and adrenals through a diet full of fruits, leafy greens and veggies, you'll begin to notice positive changes in your nails and overall health.
The Truth About Protein
Many medical professionals believe that increasing protein consumption is the answer for better skin, hair, and nails, but this isn't entirely true. High quality protein (which can easily be procured from spirulina, barley grass juice powder, and foods like kale, spinach, lentils, black beans, and walnuts), is valuable. However, overloading the liver with large quantities of protein can actually tire out the organ and undermine the health of your skin, hair, and nails. Thousands of compounds and chemical functions play a role in the health of your skin, hair, and nails, and it's detrimental to exclusively champion protein as the most important element. Too much protein can have negative effects on your liver and therefore your skin, hair, and nails. Shift your focus from protein to the foods and supplements that offer genuine support.
