Liver and Gallbladder Detox Functions -Correct Answer--- Body's "transformation" site responsible for cleaning and purifying the blood that nourishes the entire body
-- Filters toxins from the blood and neutralizes in prep. for elimination
-- Neutralized toxins pass to g____________ in bile and are eventually excreted out of body in feces
Phase I Detoxification -Correct Answer--- Uses enzymes (such as cytochrome P450) to break down toxins into intermediate, and often more toxic, metabolites
-- Toxins are ready for elimination (such as caffeine), but most require a second (Phase II) cycle before they are neutralized enough for elimination
Phase II Detoxification -Correct Answer--- Six different pathways complete the break down the chemicals from outside the body (xenobiotics, drugs)and those formed inside the body (dietary or endogenous in origin) -- Further break down the toxins from Phase I and bind them to specific types of protein molecules that "escort" them out of the
body through the kidneys or the bile

2. Sulfation
3. Peptide Conjugation
4. Glucoronidation
5. Acetylation

Foundations & Detoxification: Diet -Correct Answer-• Processed, lifeless food is seen by the body as a toxin
• Too much food (volume) uses too much energy, and doesn't leave enough for "house cleaning"
• Ingestion of the proper Macro and Micro nutrients all play an important role in the body's ability to detoxify
Top Detoxifying Foods -Correct Answer--Beets/Beet Greens: helps to thin bile and stimulate peristalsis
-Broccoli Sprouts: 20-50x more cancer fighting per bite than broccoli -Green Leafy Vegetables: chlorophyll acts a toxin binder
-Lemons: vitamin C chelates heavy metals (water soluble)
-Watercress: diuretic to cleanse kidney; rich in minerals
-Garlic: activates liver enzymes to filter junk
-Sesame Seeds: protect liver cells from alcohol damage
-Cabbage: activates 2 detox enzymes in liver
-Psyllium: insoluble fiber that mops up toxins and cholesterol
-Fruit: hydrating; full of vitamin C and fiber
-Green Tea: catechins speed up liver activity
