How This Recipe Works for Liver Health:
-
Day 1: By consuming the prunes on an empty stomach, you kickstart your liver detoxification process. The fiber in prunes helps promote healthy digestion, while the antioxidants begin to fight oxidative stress and inflammation in the liver.
-
Day 2: The combination of prunes and water continues to hydrate and detoxify the liver. The high fiber content helps eliminate toxins and waste, while the prunes’ natural sugars aid in fat digestion and liver support.
-
Day 3: By the third day, your liver will begin to feel rejuvenated. The prunes will have supported the natural detoxification process, helping to eliminate harmful substances and promote better liver function. You’ll also notice improved digestion and a cleaner, more energized feeling.
