Liver Health Concerns:

Why the need for the support of the digestive system? The liver is our principal filtering system, and probably the most congested of all organs in the modern person. It is left to detoxify the smoke from a cigarette, the beer, wine or whisky we had yesterday, the headache pills we consume, shampoos and hair colouring, makeup, dishwashing detergent, soap, toothpaste and mouthwash.  As well as the too much fat and denatured food we consume that all disrupt the hundreds of intricate biochemical processes of the liver. And as if all that wasn’t enough, the liver has to process every other type of nutrient, to create new lipoproteins, to produce more bile, and ensure that there are more coagulation factors, as well as more glutathione and metabolise the hormones.

Other aggressors to the liver come from the air we breathe, the fact that we get upset with our boss, the parking attendant or mother-in-law. People who are calm, never stressed, have vital livers. When the liver is harmonious, there is rarely stress or tension. Many liver issues involve excess of one kind or another. The most common problem is when too much food is eaten, especially rich, greasy food, the liver becomes swollen and sluggish. When the liver is obstructed, or overheated, the energy flow is hampered, resulting in a myriad of physical and emotional problems.

The liver also plays a role in the storage of blood, allowing more blood into circulation during periods of greater activity. While the blood is in storage, it is processed and purified. Should the liver be congested, then blood purification may be inadequate, leading to the release of toxins through the skin. Un-filtered blood is the cause of acne, eczema, acidosis, and allergies; furthermore, toxic blood feeds all degenerative conditions, including cancer and arthritis.

The over consumption of intoxicants, fats, meats, cheese and eggs can fuel liver symptoms. When we refer to Liver heat the general signs exhibited are: aversion to heat, red tongue with yellow coating, constipation, and a greater desire for cold liquids, as well as those signs that are specific to the liver: inflamed eyes, anger, headaches (especially migraine), dizziness, and/or high blood pressure.

The good thing to know is that the liver can regenerate itself when damaged. So what can we do to help a liver condition?

Recommendations:

• Digestive supplements such as SynerG Supplements Digestive Enzymes can be a great support to the liver.
• Take a herbal extract such as Herbs Etc Liver Tonic
• Eating moderately and avoiding late meals allow the liver and gall bladder some time to prepare for regeneration.
• There are four basic reasons for poor liver function, avoiding as much as possible these issues will help on the road to a healthy liver:
  • Presence of cumulative poisons (insecticides, preservatives etc.)
  • Improper diet (low in protein, high in carbohydrates and fats)
  • Overeating (liver is overworked and cannot detoxify harmful substances)
  • Drugs (unnatural substances to the body, causing the liver to work overtime in order to excrete these toxins).
