Liver – take care of your health!

In recent days, the media roar about the dangers smog. This is a very serious problem for our health. It is worth considering what we can do to help yourself. One of the organ, which plays an important role in the proper functioning of our body is LIVER.

It performs many important tasks, and the main one is cleansing the body from toxins. Our everyday life is full of factors such as pollution, indigestible diet often oiled alcohol, tobacco smoke and stress as well as taking medication, and all this is a major challenge for our liver.

In addition, the liver is responsible for functions such as:

• boost of energy, which allows you to fight stress
• production of bile necessary for fat digestion
• metabolism of carbohydrates and protein
• absorption, storage and conversion of certain vitamins to the bioactive form
• control of blood glucose
• hormonal balance
• production of fibrydogen responsible for immune responses
• control of the production of cholesterol and triglycerides
• activation of enzymes

The liver has about 500 functions, and I mentioned only the most important ones. Equally impressive is the fact that during one minute its sweeping liter of blood, and is working around the clock. This allows you to understand the importance of our role in supporting the organ in  hard work.

The liver can inform us in many ways about its poor condition. The most common symptoms of liver disorders include:

• tiredness
• dark circles under eyes
• food intolerance
• lack of appetite
• diarrhea or constipation
• headache and temples
• skin problems (acne, blemishes, gray color)
• lack of desire for sex
• depression, anxiety
• dark yellow urine color
• allergies
• deterioration of the thyroid gland
• hormonal problems
• Hormonal imbalance

To keep the liver in good health, avoid pesticides, preservatives and processed foods, take care of water metabolism in the body and drink plenty of fluids.

Enrich your diet with nutrients and foods containing antioxidants and helping with detox:

• chlorophyll (dark grapes, blueberries, blackberries, raspberries)
• beta carotene (carrots, beets)
• retinol (animal sources)
• healthy fats (coconut oil, butter, olive oil)
• vegetables (broccoli, cabbage, radish, Brussels sprouts, mustard, rapeseed, kale, radish, watercress, arugula)·
•  garlic and onion
• dark chocolate
• apples
• lemon
• beef or chicken liver

Definitely worth to eat in a way to help the liver. Addition to the products mentioned above, it is recommended that a diet rich in foods that provide a free flow of emotional energy and physical, and therefore harmonize the liver. Mostly these are sweet products such as cereals, vegetables, legumes and complex carbohydrates. Very often the body’s response to depression or neurotic is craving for something sweet … Many of us know this 🙂

It is best to eat:

• honey, which also has a detoxifying effect (you can enhance its performance by mixing it with apple cider vinegar)
• a powder of the leaves of stevia
• a full blown sugar cane and pellets from cane juice
• licorice root
• barley malt
• a date syrup
• molasses
• rice syrup

The last two products have a warming effect and stimulate the flow of Qi energy, so they are only useful in the treatment of liver stagnation, not accompanied by the presence of heat.

In the case where there are two problems simultaneously, it is recommended to use:

• potions peony and licorice
• Melissa
• Peppermint
• chamomile

Well-being and health will result in a diet rich in products supporting the rebuilding of liver blood, and generally strengthen the body fluids

You will detoxify and cool down your live  regularly consuming:

• mung bean sprouts

• green beanscelery

• seaweed

• lettuce

• cucumbers

• watercress

• tofu

• millet

• plum

•mushrooms

• radish

• radix ehei

Especially the last product fights poisoning resulting from excessive consumption of meat and has strong laxative properties.

In case of serious liver damage due to alcoholism or as a result of severe malnutrition and the parallel occurrence of symptoms such as weak pulse, pallor, fatigue, weak voice and breath and introverted personality is recommended:

• fresh goat’s milk, cow or sheep
• spirulina with comminuted meat fish
• bran cereal with added liver from organic farming

Often you ask me about a diet that will provide detox the body. On the one hand they make sense, because the pollution and the presence of preservatives in food, as well as stress are much larger than a few decades ago, so the ability to detoxification is relatively less … On the other hand, our body is very clever, and organs highly qualified in the discharge of toxins from the body. If you decide to monothematic diet, it can easily unsettle a very complex economy of the body and cause serious diseases, so remember to be very careful!

If you want to help yourself to avoid excess chemicals in food and cosmetics, exclude from your diet alcohol and caffeine and take care of appropriate supplementation.

I also recommend daily drinking on an empty stomach hot water with lemon.

TAKE CARE OF YOUR HEALTH!
