The Liver: Your Body's Unsung Hero
6 min read
We often make choices that impact our health without even realizing it. From that occasional extra glass of wine to the convenience of processed foods, our lifestyle choices can take a toll on a vital organ - the liver. This unsung hero plays a pivotal role in our overall well-being.
The liver is the filter for the body, tirelessly working to process and eliminate toxins, waste, and harmful substances. However, it's not just what you eat or drink that affects your liver. Factors like air quality, exposure to household toxins, and even pharmaceutical medications can all contribute to your liver's stress. And when your liver is under stress, it can disrupt various bodily functions, leaving you feeling less than your best.
How does the liver work?
Being the largest internal organ in the human body, the liver handles a wide range of crucial functions¹.
- Your liver processes everything you eat. After your stomach and intestines finish digesting food, it travels through your bloodstream to your liver for filtering².
- Your liver is plays a crucial role in sugar metabolism. It takes glucose from your blood and stores it as glycogen. When your blood sugar drops, your liver releases glycogen to keep your levels stable.
- When alcohol, medications, or other toxins make their way to your liver, they're pulled from your blood. Your liver will then clean up these substances and removes them into your urine or stool.
Recognizing the Symptoms
Have you ever woken up feeling puffy and sluggish after drinking? Or maybe you've been struggling with acne, inflammation, or other hormone-related issues that are difficult to manage? These could be signs that your liver is in need of some support.
How to Keep Your Liver Healthy
Supplements and lifestyle choices have been shown to improve liver health. Here are a few tips to keep your liver in optimal shape:
- Limit fried foods and sweets. Eating a diet heavy in fast foods, sweets, and fats may lead to weight gain. Being overweight or obese may increase the risk of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease.
- Be intentional when drinking alcohol. Large quantities of beer, wine, or liquor damages liver cells. If you're going to drink, be intentional. Don't overdo it.
- Don't mix alcohol and medication. Drinking alcohol with certain medications can worsen liver damage. Always consult with a professional healthcare provider before taking any supplement or prescription medication.
- Incorporate supplements into your everyday routine. Providing your body with hard-to-get nutrients ensures you are getting all of the essential vitamins and minerals you need to perform and feel your best.
