Liver Facts
The liver is the largest organ in your body and carries the greatest workload. It weighs 3lbs and works all day and night converting the food you eat into the active forms required by the body to live.
The liver also neutralizes and destroys harmful and toxic substances. Basically, the liver is a detox center for the body enabling us to survive the overwhelming toxic conditions of modern society
The liver is essential for fat and protein metabolism and the regulation of body cholesterol as well as, adrenal, thyroid and sex hormones.
Other life-sustaining processes of the liver:
- Cleansing the blood
- Elimination of bacteria and parasites
- Hormone processing and metabolism
- Activating nutrients
- Storing vitamins A, D and B-12, iron for release when needed
- Regulating blood sugar between meals
- When blood sugar is low, a healthy liver converts stored glycogen into glucose, releasing it into the bloodstream to raise blood sugar levels. When blood sugar is high, a healthy liver will convert the excess into stored glycogen
- Removes ammonia, a toxic by-product of animal protein metabolism
- Breaking down hormones after they have served their purpose. The body uses insulin to lower blood sugar when levels are too high. If the liver does not break down the used insulin fast enough, it will continue and lower blood sugar levels to below normal.
Liver Stressors
Throughout one’s life the liver gets stressed, damaged, overworked, toxic and congested.
Toxic chemicals, food preservatives, alcohol, drugs, cigarettes, environmental toxins, fried foods, sugar, soft drinks, caffeine, pesticides, house cleaners…the list goes on…can wear the liver down and make it hard for it to do the job it was meant to do. When the liver is on overload it can no longer function and it begins to shut down.
Common symptoms and conditions of a toxic and overloaded liver can be:
- Fatigue
- Depression
- Weight gain
- Emotional roller coaster
- Poor memory
- Blood sugar disorders
- Allergies
- Elevated cholesterol
- Skin conditions
- Deterred healing
- Weakened immunity
- Degenerative diseases such as cancer, diabetes, arthritis and much more.
