Know your liver

The Liver is an amazing organ that provides humans with necessary functions for survival. The functions of the liver are endless. The liver processes fats, proteins, carbohydrates for energy, carbohydrates for glycogen storage, and also vitamin storage within the human body. The liver removes excess hormones from the blood, breaks down harmful environmental toxins, drugs, alcohol, and pathogens. The liver’s responsibility to break these things down allows for them to be eliminated from the human body.

If the liver becomes congested or overworked this can lead to very serious conditions. Drug toxicity, allergy, or malaise is just a few. You can also develop digestive disorders, or diarrhea. One common side effect of the liver becoming congested or overworked is headaches. A toxic liver can lead to sexual dysfunction, PMS, infertility, emotional imbalance, and excessive anger.

There are natural ways to cleanse your liver. A great way to cleanse your liver is the popular “10-day liver flush”. You simply combine one-cup grapefruit or lemon juice, two cloves fresh pressed garlic, and one-tablespoon olive oil, and enjoy! Another option for cleansing your liver is the use of herbs such as dandelions (pesticide free from your own back yard is fine), or milk thistle.

Maintaining a healthy liver is very important for the human body. The liver processes fats, proteins, carbohydrates for energy, carbohydrates for glycogen storage, and also vitamin storage within the human body. The environment is full of toxins that the human body requires the liver to break down and eliminate. A toxic liver can lead to serious conditions. The use of herbs is a great way to cleanse your liver, and live an overall healthier life.
