Eyebrow Wrinkles, Supplements & a Recipe

 



See the line between the eyebrows? According to Traditional Chinese Medicine, it’s the Liver Line. This just means that your liver needs some love and care. 

(A line on the other side, your left side, means that the digestive system may need some help). 

How deep the line is matters

The depth of the line shows the degree of the potential issue. I’ve personally noticed that in weeks of excesses (such as eating late, more alcohol and coffee, less sleep) which impact the liver, the line becomes deeper and more visible. When I take care of myself, the line becomes smoother and thinner. 

 

What can you do?

Many things can support the liver and that’s one empowering thought.  

 

What to consider removing: 

🚫 Coffee 
🚫 Alcohol 
🚫  Inflammatory foods
(like gluten, dairy, reduced sugar) 

 

What to add: 

 

✅ Cruciferous vegetables (cabbages, broccoli, cauliflower, arugula, radishes, turnips) 
✅ Bitter herbs (burdock root, milk thistle, dandelion root, andrographis) 
✅ Green tea (instead of coffee) 
✅ Light dinner, 4 hours before bed 

SUPPLEMENTS TO HELP:

NAC

Milk Thistle

Alpha Lipioc Acid

Selenium

 

These simple actions can quickly make a big difference. Need recipes? Both these books Overcoming Estrogen Dominance and Cooking for Hormone Balance contain liver-supporting recipes and meal plans. 

Here is a great kale salad recipe to enjoy!

I love this vibrant salad for a day when I just feel like I want an ultra clean lunch. Maybe it’s boiling outside or I just indulged a bit too much last night hehe (of course still healthy treats)

  • 1/4 cup chopped parsley
  • 1/2 zucchini, roasted
  • 1/2 head of broccoli, roasted
  • 1/2 eggplant, roasted
  • 1 bunch baby asparagus
  • 1 Lebanese cucumber, diced
  • snow pea shoots, a handful
  • chicken, shredded
  • 2 spring onions, chopped
  • Dressing:
  • 2 tablespoons tahini
  • 1 garlic clove
  • 2 tbsp boiling water, or more until runny consistency

  1. Preheat the oven to 400f. Line a baking tray and lay out the zucchini, eggplant and broccoli and roast for 15 minutes or until golden. (Alternatively, you can use leftover cooked veggies in the fridge)
  2. In the last 5 minutes add the baby asparagus to the oven tray.
  3. To make the salad combine the parsley, cucumber, snow peas shoot, chicken and onion. Let the roasted veggies cool slightly and then toss through.
  4. To make the dressing combine the ingredients into a mini food processor and blitz until creamy and running. Alternatively, you can place the ingredients into a jar and shake vigorously until combined (just crush/mince the garlic first).
  5. Pour the dressing over the salad and enjoy!

How Air Pollution Is Damaging Your Health

Exposure to air pollution is associated with numerous effects on human health, including pulmonary, cardiac, vascular, and neurological impairments. The health effects vary greatly from person to person. High-risk groups such as the elderly, infants, pregnant women, and sufferers from chronic heart and lung diseases are more susceptible to air pollution. Children are at greater risk because they are generally more active outdoors and their lungs are still developing.
