Health up date: Liver
I like to read and have learned far more from books than I have from my doctors.
I used to be hungry all the time. I’d wake up at 3am starving. I read Liver Rescue by Anthony William and learned my liver was hungry.
I liked fruit, but was never a big fruit eater. Liver needs energy from fruit to function. Liver wakes up at 3am to start it’s day. Mine was so hungry it woke me up too.
I now eat fruit several times a day. I’m no longer hungry and I don’t wake up at 3am.
The best time to eat fruit is an empty stomach because fatty foods counteract the benefits of fruit.
When the liver doesn’t have enough energy to do its job, Adrenal Glands will send adrenaline to it. If this keeps up, it will over tax Adrenal Glands. You won’t have the adrenaline needed to get going in the morning, which will cause Adrenal Fatigue.
I could have saved me so much trouble if only I had been eating fruit.
A healthy liver does amazing things for our bodies, like protecting your heart.
Save your liver (and heart), eat fruit. Best on on an empty stomach. Fatty foods hinder fruit.
Stay healthy.
Great advice, Phyllis. W have to look after our hearts and livers!!
I’m learning. I’ve only been seriously eating fruit for almost a month and I’m already feeling better.
How much would you eat in a day?
3-4-5 times a day. On an empty stomach is best. Fatty foods interfere with fruits benefits. And I eat with every meal. Any fruit is good.
I have a couple of other friends who started eating fruit are also starting to feel better.
How about you?
Instead of the usual cereal for breakfast, I find post menopause that I only feel like fresh, light foods for breakfast. An egg, or a piece of rockmelon is the usual fare these days, and on work days, just juice and my probiotic drink. I shall incorporate more fresh fruit after talking with you. I eat dried apricots at work, so would that count the same as fresh?
I used to crash after breakfast.
I read Adrenaline Restart Diet book. He said to eat one protein, like fish, chicken, turkey, or meat and one high fiber vegetable for breakfast. Nothing processed.
No box cereal, eggs, dairy, or bread products.
He wasn’t in favor of fruit for breakfast eihter, but I don’t think he read Liver Rescue.
I changed my breakfast habits and within days, I stopped taking morning naps.
If you like to read, these books are in the library here. They might also be in your libraries too.
I do like to read so will investigate – hopefully over the Christmas break. When I used to eat packaged cereal, which I haven’t done for years, the sugar content would make me crash around 9am, 1-2 hours after eating it. I guess it was the sugar high and the insulin low. I like the idea of nothing processed but no eggs for breakfast could be a deal breaker! Lol.
I know what you mean. Backen, eggs and homemade hash browns is my all time favorite breakfast.
Let eggs be the last thing you give up. Then let the eggs go for a time, knowing you can go back once you’re well.
That is a good strategy. I’ll do that.
Good tip! I am glad that you’ve discovered such a healthy way to combat insomnia and adrenal fatigue. Glad to know you are back on the mend
I actually had a good night sleep last night. I’m having more and more of those nights. ;0)
