Waking at 3 AM?
It’s…LIVER TIME!!! According to Traditional Chinese Medicine, each body organ system has a time of day when it is more active than others. For the liver? It’s 1-3 am. That means that if you repeatedly wake up at 3 AM, your liver may be overworked or you need additional detoxification support. Here are some things to consider to give your liver a break: • Go light or stop the alcohol altogether • Watch your caffeine intake. • Eat dinner early in the evening. • Get regular exercise (and sweat!) • Decrease sweets to support blood sugar balance. • Try a gentle herbal tea to support detoxification. • Consider a whole-foods cleanse. Your body was built to detoxify every day naturally. You can support this process with some simple lifestyle changes. And a possible side effect? There’s a chance it might help you sleep a little more soundly
