An apple a day keeps the doctor away goes the old refrain. It should be updated for the twenty-first century to read—a carrot a day keeps the doctor away. With liver issues running rampant due to chronic stress, food additive consumption, a culture that pops pills for everything from ADD to herpes—it's time to give our livers a hand, or in this case a carrot, to aid in its detox and healing.  Carrots are rich in beta carotene, which help the liver to recharge, renew, rejuvenate.
This week, I added carrot juice to my daily diet to gently aid in the cleansing and healing of my emotionally over-taxed liver.  Bottoms up! or as they say in Hawaii, okole maluna!
