A nutritionist explains why the liver needs proper hydration and diverse colorful foods to move through detox phases. She warns against just adding fiber for constipation, recommending instead specific sources like pectin-rich fruits tailored to individual needs.
You have to be pooping before you can even ask phase 2 of the liver to start, you know, clearing, and then phase 1. So I would love to hear from a nutritionist perspective how you tackle this.
Yeah, so food first, right? When we're going in, um, I want to make sure, are you adequately hydrated with the right vitamins and minerals? That's super important. Vile is 95% water. The second thing is, are you eating enough diverse Uh, you know, in your food, diversity in your food in terms of colors, where's your fibers coming from? Are you like many people getting 10 to 12 grams of fiber a day, or are we able to walk you up? I would never tell a constipated person to just start taking a bunch of fiber. It will make things worse, but we can use different types, uh, in our diets, right? We can go after fruits that have pectins as well.
