A nutritionist explains why regular bowel movements matter for liver detoxification. The liver is 95% water, so hydration and micronutrients come first. Then add varied fiber types and pectin-rich fruits to support digestion without worsening constipation.
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. Vial 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 in our diets, right? We can go after fruits that have pectins as well.
