They Call it Liver for a Reason
Monday, December 29th, 2008
The liver is one of the most essential organs in your body, and one of the few organs you can’t live without; hence the name ‘liver’. The liver acts as a filter for various toxins and harmful substances that are ingested. The most common cause of liver problems is excessive drinking of alcoholic beverages. For example, a man who frequents bars three to four nights per week will have significant damage to his liver eight to ten years later. To care for your liver, avoid ingesting a lot of acidic beverages or foods, and also consider liver detox supplements.
Several liver detox supplements are recommended by doctors for heavy drinkers and sometimes elderly people. With a liver detox, you can remove some of the harmful toxins that the liver has captured and filtered over the years, and ensure that it is more healthy for years to come.
If you’re feeling kind of slow and tired, and just generally not on top of things, perhaps you should consider a detox. Bloating, bad breath, blemishes, tiredness, a lack of energy, dull hair and skin and digestive disorders are all signs that you have an excess of toxins built up in your body. And these toxins can come from anything – cookies, wine, Thanksgiving dinner, cigarette smoke… because these toxins are in everything, they’re hard to avoid.
