These quick and easy scrambled eggs are packed with tasty and anti-inflammatory ingredients to help support a weight loss goal.
Starting next week on Monday, December 5th, we’re ALL doing the 7 Day Detox together! After a weekend of indulgences and higher sugar/refined carbohydrate foods, I think all of our livers could use a little TLC. Time to reboot, re-energize and start feeling GOOD again.
So to celebrate Detox Week, today I’m sharing a brand new Turmeric Detox Scramble that you can use throughout the 7 Day Detox.
Key Ingredients
This scramble uses multiple key ingredients to help the liver process toxins.
Garlic + Onions: Both garlic and onions have been found to support glutathione production.(1) This is our powerful internal antioxidant that aids in liver detoxification.
Turmeric: Turmeric aids in phase 2 liver detoxification.(1) This is when the liver neutralizes damaging free radicals created while processing toxins. Without this crucial step, the body would be overloaded with cell damaging free radicals.
Eggs: Eggs contain high levels of a very important nutrient called choline. Outside of eggs, it’s pretty difficult to get choline naturally from other food sources. Choline is so essential that it has been noted that liver cell death and impaired fat metabolism (aka fatty acid oxidation) occurs when humans are deprived of choline.(2)
Storing and Reheating
This is best eaten immediately.
