Natural Digestive Enzymes Mix 1-2 TBS of olive oil with 1-2 tsp of lemon juice. Shake and
drink every morning OR night on an empty stomach for 1 month. This will exercise the liver and gallbladder, while supporting healthy bile flow in the bile and pancreatic ducts and assist in moving the bowels to ease constipation
Eat 2 TBS of fermented veggies like sauerkraut or kimchee before every meal
Drink 2 TBS of raw Apple Cider Vinegar just before your meal
Drink half your body weight in ounces of water daily. Sip water all day long to achieve this and try not to drink all at once. Hydrating your stomach will encourage it to produce more hydrochloric acid and increase the flow of bile and pancreatic enzymes

Natural Digestive Enzymes Eat more raw beets and leafy greens. Greens should
make up 2/3 of your plate. The cellulose in greens will attach to the toxic bile and escort it to the toilet like a non-stop flight!
Drink fenugreek tea. It acts as a decongestant for the bile ducts and helps
Have cinnamon with every meal possible. Cinnamon supports healthy blood sugar levels while supporting normal bile flow.
Consider regular detoxification of the liver and fat cells, which store toxins that are processed through the liver. Regular cleansing can help one achieve optimal digestion
