Detoxing Your Liver
Your liver is the largest and heaviest internal organ. It processes anything you eat or drink, and either repackages it for your body to use or eliminates it. The liver also stores vitamins and helps detoxify your body. That’s why it’s so important to keep your liver in tip-top shape!
When the liver isn’t functioning properly, your body is likely not absorbing, storing, or utilizing all the nutrients from your food, which can result in bloating, constipation, low energy, and stubborn weight loss.
Without a healthy liver, it’s nearly impossible to have a properly functioning metabolism, healthy circulation, balanced hormones, and strong digestion.
Let’s go over some liver hazards:
What Can Cause Liver Damage?
Alcohol: This is the most well-known liver toxin. Alcohol creates a toxin called acetaldehyde and it’s your liver’s job to flush it out of your system. Alcoholic fatty liver is the earliest stage of much more serious liver damage.
Sugar: Too much refined sugar can lead to fatty tissue buildup in the liver, which can lead to liver disease even if you’re not overweight. Some studies show sugar is just as damaging as alcohol.
Soft Drinks: These are packed with sugar and can cause damage in the long-term.
Being Overweight: Extra pounds can lead to non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). Fat buildup in your liver can harden, swell, and turn into scar tissue.
Acetaminophen: Those popular over-the-counter painkillers with acetaminophen are very toxic to the liver. Be sure to stay within the daily limits, and do not combine them with alcohol.
Prescription Medications: Almost all oral medications must pass through the liver, and some can cause liver damage in the process.
Hepatitis & Other Viruses: Hepatitis A, Hepatitis B, and Hepatitis E can create serious problems for the liver.
How Do I Get My Liver Healthy Again?
Because the liver is such a huge part of the digestive system, a healthy liver benefits almost every aspect of your health. A healthy, well-functioning liver can help you experience:
More Energy
Clearer Skin
Regular Hormone Cycles
Stronger Immune System
Regular Digestion
Better Oral Health
Positive Mood
One must take an individual approach to what made their liver not function as well in the first place. ..... [ More to come ]
