It detoxifies all your blood, helping to breakdown and ideally eliminate what isn&#8217;t serving you in there. And girl does your liver have a tough job! You&#8217;re literally\u00a0<em>assaulted<\/em>\u00a0by myriad toxins everyday.<br \/>\nThere are two categories of toxins that take their timely toll:<br \/>\nexogenous toxins and endogenous toxins<br \/>\nExogenous toxins are present in the outside environment. Endogenous toxins are produced as a result of imbalances in your own metabolism. Either can have physical, emotional or psychological ramifications.\u00a0<em>(See below for some more info. about these two types of toxins.)<\/em><br \/>\nIn Chinese Five Elements Theory, where each of the organs is associated with an emotion, the liver is not just about detoxifying blood but also discharging\u00a0<em>stress<\/em>\u00a0and\u00a0<em>anger.<\/em>\u00a0It makes sense. If any of these toxins (chemical or emotional) build up inside, they&#8217;ll affect\u00a0<em>all<\/em>\u00a0your body&#8217;s functions.<br \/>\nSo where does hunger come in?<br \/>\nThat&#8217;s exactly what I&#8217;ve been wondering.<br \/>\nWe can look at the relationship between hunger and anger in a number of ways. . .<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Is blood sugar affecting your hunger and anger? Certainly, if you get too hungry and your blood sugar drops too low, you&#8217;re bound to feel less benevolent. Studies show that hungry judges give less favorable rulings. Well, they&#8217;re not alone.<\/li>\n<li>Are you hungry for something other than food? If your belly is full and you still feel a grumble, it&#8217;s always good to take a look at what other plate might be empty. Are you hungry for change? Love? Sex? Connection? Wisdom? Fulfillment? Chances are these deficits may leave you feeling both hungry and angry.<\/li>\n<li>And biologically, the liver itself ~ that way-station of all things potentially hostile ~ is a source of feedback for hunger. If the liver starts to release its stored sugar (called glycogen) to meet the body&#8217;s energy requirements, it will signal the brain to initiate hunger to address the energy through food.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>But what I&#8217;ve been realizing this week is that sometimes its not a matter of analyzing. Instead it&#8217;s a matter of\u00a0<em>being<\/em>. Being with the hunger.<br \/>\nThe food writer Molly O&#8217;Neill says it best:<br \/>\n<em>&#8220;When spring is in the air, appetite, like other basic human urges, responds.&#8221;<\/em><br \/>\nAnd ultimately, that&#8217;s my very favorite part of the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/fxnutrition.com\/cleanses\/spring\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">TrulyFood Cleanses<\/a>. Each seasonal cleanse provides an opportunity to indulge in the foods, emotions and organs of the season. It&#8217;s the immersion of nourishment. I may go in feeling hungry and angry. Those sensations may even be more stirred up as I start to bring my attention to my liver. Yet I know I&#8217;ll leave feeling sated and supported.<br \/>\nI know I&#8217;ve given my body the blessing of being in sync with the season.<br \/>\nWhen it comes to my liver, it really does deserve a break today. I can tell!\u00a0<em>(Gerrrr.)<\/em><br \/>\nStill warmly,<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.fxnutrition.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/Andrea-sig-158px.png\" \/><br \/>\nP.S.
