Beans, beans, beans.....like lima, black eyed peas and garbanzo, they are a good source of potassium, and a great source of soluble fiber. Soluble fiber is good for you unlike regular fiber. Soluble fiber binds to toxic bile and removes it from the body. Without soluble fiber the bile recirculates and gets toxic and sludgy.

Intermittent fasting....simply at least 16 hours a day with no food, only water or black coffee. This time away from food allows the body time to repair and heal, reduces inflammation.
