bone building soups

I’m really excited to share with you today an easy trick to build and rejuvenate your bones.

It involves a quick way to create an alkaline environment that helps your body’s detoxification system neutralize and flush out the excess acid and toxins.

Believe it or not, you can achieve this with two scrumptious, alkalizing soups, perfect for warming up during the winter.

Besides their powerfully liver-detoxifying ingredients, they are also rich in fiber, making them ideal for cleansing.

Let’s begin by taking a closer look at the two cleansing types of fiber.

The Many Benefits Of Fiber

This may surprise you: the health benefits of fiber go beyond its well-known ability to improve bowel regularity and decrease cholesterol levels. Amazingly, fiber can have a positive effect on multiple body systems.

There are two main types of fiber, soluble and insoluble, and both are healthful. Soluble fiber actually comes from within the cells of the plant, so it absorbs water on its way through the digestive tract. It becomes thick and gel-like.

Insoluble fiber is from the outside of a plant’s structure, like apple skin or wheat bran. It moves through the digestive system without much change, adding bulk and softness to the body’s waste matter.

Both types of fiber bind to toxins and help them move out of the body.

Fiber Is Critical For Liver Health

To best understand how fiber affects the liver, we’ll go over a process known as enterohepatic circulation. The primary purpose of enterohepatic circulation is to clear out fat-soluble waste from the blood. This is achieved by the regulation of bile’s progression from the liver to the small intestine, and then back to the liver.

Your liver deposits poisons and wastes into the bile as it is manufactured by the gallbladder. The bile then gets sent to the duodenum, the first part of the small intestine, where it helps break down fats.

If you are eating plenty of fiber, it binds to these toxins in the small intestine, and gets “ushered out” via the bile as it makes its way from the intestine to the bloodstream and back to the liver.

Meanwhile, the gallbladder makes a fresh supply of toxin-free bile, and the process begins again.

But without enough fiber, the bile, with its toxic load, gets absorbed back through the intestinal wall and into the bloodstream, where it makes its way back to the liver again. Then the bile keeps re-circulating, becoming more and more saturated with toxins.

This buildup contributes to gallbladder issues and inflammation, and as Savers know, inflammation damages your bones. In short, too little fiber contributes to toxin buildup and inflammation.

But if you are getting plenty of fiber, it binds to the bile in the intestine and, along with its toxins, removes it from the body when you go to the bathroom.

Low Fiber Increases Oxidation

Without healthy bile, the body must resort to another method to break down fats. As a last resort, the process of oxidation kicks in, setting the stage for oxidative damage that hurts your bones.

Fiber Rejuvenates Bones By Promoting Liver Health

In addition to its detoxification role, a healthy liver is necessary for the proper synthesis of bone-building Vitamin D. In fact, your liver affects every body system, from your endocrine to your immune system.

A healthy liver is absolutely crucial for true rejuvenation of your bones. In addition, the other detoxification organs – your kidneys – are equally vital.

Your Kidneys Are Indispensable For Bone Health

Besides removing toxins, your kidneys also play a central role in balancing the body’s pH – the crux of the Osteoporosis Reversal Program. As part of this key process, your kidneys secrete bicarbonate, a buffering substance that neutralizes the acid in the bloodstream.

So a diet high in acidic toxins will seriously overwork (and possibly damage) your kidneys.

Alkalizing, fiber-rich foods like the ones in the recipes below promote an alkaline environment in the body, and help improve both kidney and liver function. They are also full of bone-building Foundation Supplements.
