Supports healthy liver functioning

The liver is the second largest organ in the body and is often seen as the most important organ. In traditional Chinese medicine, for example, a healthy liver is seen as the most critical element in the body's ability to fight disease and function optimally. For this reason, complementary and holistic medicine always emphasizes liver health as one of the most vital components in overall systemic health. Amongst other important functions, the liver is responsible for eliminating and detoxifying the poisons that enter our blood stream. The liver is also very important in the digestion of food and produces bile which is essential in the breakdown of fats, thereby preventing obesity – one of the biggest contributors to bad health. It also regulates blood sugar and stores any excess sugar in a useful ‘quick-release’ form for when it is needed. The liver clears the blood of old red blood cells, bacteria and other infectious organisms as well as ingested toxins including alcohol. It is responsible for producing a large number of different proteins including hormones and blood clotting factors and is the organ which stores Vitamin A, D, E and K. In the modern world, environmental pollution, fast foods, drugs, alcohol and sedentary lifestyles all contribute to sluggish and diseased livers. The result? Depressed immune systems Constant fatigue Obesity Sluggish livers and digestive systems Allergies Respiratory ailments Unhealthy skin Many other health problems. The liver’s functioning does not really decrease with age so, in the absence of disease, the liver should work optimally right into very old age – helping to keep all body systems functioning normally and supporting overall vitality and protection from illness. The maintenance of optimal liver functioning is therefore of vital importance in the quest for holistic health. The maintenance of liver health responds well to a holistic approach, including complementary medicine, avoidance of alcohol, drugs and other toxins as well as a healthy diet and regular exercise. In the old days people used to say that they were ‘feeling liverish’ to describe a feeling of being bloated, uncomfortable, slightly nauseous and lacking in energy. Liver tonics were more widely used than they are today – with good effect. Here are some useful liver supporting tips: Avoid alcohol completely if you have any liver problems. Quit smoking. Exercise regularly and drink plenty of water (preferably purified or still mineral water). Be aware of the effects of many prescription and OTC medications on the liver. Even seemingly safe medications like paracetamol can be extremely toxic and damaging to the liver. Read all package inserts and consult your doctor when in doubt. Avoid eating raw shellfish. These can harbor bacteria that cause severe infections in people with liver disease.
