Burn fat faster after our total body detox!

New research shows that one in three of us has a sluggish liver, a problem that can slow fat-burning and allow toxins to build up throughout the body! Worried? Don’t be! The newest study-based ways to protect and rejuvenate this vital organ include:

Simply mix a 6-oz. glass of water with 1 oz. of unsweetened cranberry juice and 2 oz. of orange juice!

But unique compounds in cranberry juice—anthocyanins and organic acids—boost the benefit by reducing inflammation in the liver’s tissues, helping it function better in as little as one week, says nutrition researcher Ann Louise Gittleman, Ph.D., author of The Fast Track Detox Diet. As for OJ, its vitamin C and flavonoids help the liver process up to 35% more fat and toxins, according to researchers at Chicago’s Northwestern Memorial Hospital.
