WHY THE LIVER IS IMPORTANT?

The liver is a key organ in the body that helps to detoxify and protect the body against toxins.

It also plays an important role in the production of blood, and is responsible for the digestion and absorption of food. The liver also helps to control the immune system, and is a key player in the development of the brain. In addition, the liver is a major player in the production of enzymes, which help to break down and digest food. These processes can be difficult and can lead to problems if not done correctly. If you're looking to improve your health and reduce the risk of disease, it's important to understand the function of the liver.

THE SYMPTOMS OF A CONGESTED LIVER

YOU MUST WATCH OUT FOR:

Exposure to toxins puts your liver at danger of overworking and interfering with biological processes.


By keeping an eye out for these symptoms, you can spot any abnormalities in your liver:

  • A persistent feeling of sluggishness and fatigue.

  • Bad breath with a white or yellow-coated tongue.

  • A weight gain, especially around the abdomen.

  • Headaches and poor digestion.

  • A craving or a problem with blood sugar.

  • Feeling of nauseousness after eating fatty foods.

  • Intolerance to strong smells, including perfumes.

  • Right-side stomach pain.

  • Acute skin breakout conditions such as acne and rashes.


THE PROBLEM


Typically, your liver does a good job of filtering out all these toxins. But with the number of toxins in today's food and environment, your liver may have a hard time keeping up and instead will store these toxins in fat cells.

WHAT IS BAD FOR THE LIVER?


Many of us abuse our liver without even knowing it with things like:

  • Drinking alcohol

  • Eating processed or fried foods

  • Sugar

  • Soft Drinks

  • Obesity and Overweight


YOUR LIVER IS THE BODY'S MAIN DETOXIFIER


Our liver represents the human body’s primary filtration system, converting toxins into waste products, cleansing your blood, and metabolizing nutrients and medications to provide the body with some of its most important proteins.

THE LIVER'S FUNTIONS

The liver controls the majority of chemical levels in the blood and excretes bile. This aids in the removal of waste materials from the liver. The liver filters all blood that leaves the stomach and intestines. The liver processes this blood, breaking down, balancing, and creating nutrients, as well as metabolizing medications into forms that are simpler for the rest of the body to utilize or are harmless. The liver is responsible for about 500 important activities. The following are some of the most well-known functions:

  1. Bile production, which supports in the elimination of waste and the breakdown of lipids in the small intestine during digestion.

  2. Generation of specific proteins for blood plasma

  3. Production of cholesterol and specific proteins to help in the transport of fats throughout the body

  4. Excess glucose is turned into glycogen for storage (glycogen can later be converted back to glucose for energy), and glucose is balanced and produced as needed

  5. Blood amino acid levels, which are the building blocks of proteins, are regulated by liver

  6. Hemoglobin processing for iron use (the liver stores iron)

  7. Conversion of toxic ammonia to urea (urea is an end product of protein metabolism and is excreted in the urine)

  8. Removing drugs and other dangerous chemicals from the blood

  9. Controlling blood clotting

  10. Infection resistance is achieved by producing immune components and eliminating microorganisms from the circulation

  11. Clearance of bilirubin from red blood cells as well. When bilirubin levels rise, the skin and eyes turn yellow.
