The party season is upon us; the dresses, suits, make up and even babysitters are sorted and we are ready to let our hair down a bit and have some fun. The diet has gone well and we can now fit into that gorgeous dress and catch up with those friends you only ever see at the end of the year.
But while you’re out partying spare a thought for your body and what you are putting it through. You might be having a good time but all that fatty food and alcohol is having a very negative effect on your body and it’s not just your waistline that’s suffering, your liver is having a hard time of it too. But not to worry as mother nature is there to lend us a helping hand with our annual post Christmas detox.
Not many people may have heard of it but milk thistle has been used for over 2,000 years as an herbal remedy for a variety of ailments, in particularly liver and gall bladder problems. Milk thistle extract contains powerful antioxidants that can help promote healthy, vibrant liver function. It is mainly used by the body to cleanse and maintain the liver while also supporting the production of new liver cells, along with replacing the old and damaged liver cells.
There are many forms that we can take milk thistle in, these include, but are not exclusively, capsules of standardized dried herb, a liquid extract, tincture and also silymarin phosphatidylcholine complex (this is the part of milk thistle your body needs).
While we do so much to protect other parts of our bodies in this cold and wet time of year; extra conditioner on our hair, wrapping up warm and using more moisturiser on those bits exposed to the wind and rain, we often forget about what is happening inside our bodies. So why not grab some milk thistle today and make your body a little bit happier while you are out partying.
