Everyday your body is exposed to a
multitude of toxins through the food you eat, water, alcohol and coffee you
drink, polluted air you breathe as well as the chemicals you put on your skin
and hair daily. The liver’s role is to filter these
toxic substances from your blood so they can be eliminated from your body. The
liver plays a vital role in metabolism, it’s the major fat burning organ of the
body and regulates fat metabolism. It also plays an important role in
regulating cholesterol levels, and helping to maintain healthy blood sugar
levels.
Signs of liver dysfunction
If the liver becomes overloaded with
toxins or deficient in essential nutrients, detoxification will be affected.
This will result in toxins being pushed back into the blood stream, which may
cause-
- Inability or difficulty in losing weight
- Weakened immune function
- Digestive problems or abdominal bloating
- Poor skin health and skin conditions
- Sluggish metabolism
- Elevated cholesterol
- Mood swings
- Menopausal symptoms and PMS
- Sugar cravings
- Bad breath or coated tongue
- Dark circles under eyes
- Unstable blood sugar levels
If you experience any of these symptoms then I would recommend that you take action to improve your diet and lifestyle. Over the coming weeks, through this blog I will make suggestions in regards to what action to take.
