One way to do that is with a summer detox.
Christine Horner, MD, FACS, joins hosts Andrea and Lisa to share her favorite ways to detox in order to improve your skin health and energy levels.
- Take sips of warm/hot water throughout the day. This purifies the skin, keeps your digestion going and helps with elimination.
- Support your liver. Mushrooms stimulate the detoxification enzymes in the liver and also support your immune system. Artichokes, dandelion leaves, dandelion root and milk thistle help the liver as well.
- Up your antioxidants with superfoods such as lychee, goji berries, and acai berries.
Christine Horner, MD, FACS, is a nationally known surgeon, author and professional speaker and holds two board certifications: the National Board of Surgery and the National Board of Plastic Surgery. Horner was recognized as a leader in her field shortly after starting her plastic and reconstructive surgery practice because she successfully ran a national campaign to pass laws requiring insurance companies to pay for breast reconstruction following mastectomy. Her five-year crusade with the Breast Reconstruction Advocacy Project (BRA Project) led to the passage of a federal law that was signed by President Bill Clinton on Oct. 21, 1998. The law was unprecedented because it was the first law Congress passed requiring insurance companies to pay for a specific surgical procedure. Horner is the award-winning author of Waking The Warrior Goddess: Dr. Christine Horner's Program to Protect Against and Fight Breast Cancer (3rd Edition/2013/Basic Health) and is one of the country’s leading authorities on cancer prevention.
