Headaches and Blood Toxicity
Headaches are frequently attributed to toxicity in the blood. Toxic odours can induce headaches by being inhaled and entering the bloodstream along with oxygen, which then travels to the brain. The liver processes and excretes blood toxicity through bile.
Bile flow stimulates peristalsis, or intestinal contractions, facilitating bowel movements. Constipation often indicates sluggish bile flow, leading to a potential backup of toxins into the bloodstream and subsequently to the head. This phenomenon is referred to as “leaky liver” by Dr. Christopher Shade, highlighting the interconnectedness of organ systems.
Diarrhea can also signify toxicity expulsion through intestinal spasms when bile flow is inadequate, indicating a similar issue. The liver, being the largest organ responsible for both detoxification and energy processing from food, is crucial to overall health.
Therefore, liver health is integral to the entire nutrition and detoxification plan, as it influences and is influenced by various bodily functions. Improved liver function can also enhance sleep quality.
