Life Giver” Liver

:Life Giver” Liver It may sound strange but the liver really is quite an amazing organ. Did you know, for example, that your liver has more than 500 known functions? Though we know it’s an important organ, most of us really don’t know that much about it. The More the Better.

:Waste Disposal . Your liver is very involved in proper digestion and in the ****bolism of fat. It eliminates poisons in the body by dumping them into the bowel via the bile. If not removed, toxins are reabsorbed into the blood stream. These substances interfere with normal bowel and kidney function.

:“Excess” Stress Many excess hormones also are removed from the body by the liver. For example, the anti-diuretic (water retention) hormone is eliminated by the liver when it becomes excessive. If the liver is not functioning well, swelling will often occur in the legs or abdomen. Some sex hormones are deactivated by a poorly functioning liver. When this happens, menstrual problems or other disturbing conditions may follow.

:Storage Bin The liver is also a major sugar storehouse. Sugar handling disturbances may result from liver dysfunction. Improper utilization of vitamins, particularly the fat-soluble vitamins A, D, E, and K, can also result from dysfunction. Adequate absorption of these vitamins, as well as their storage, depends on the liver.

:Double Trouble Blood coagulation factors are also developed in the liver. You can see it in a person with a tendency to bleed or bruise. It’s a case of the blood’s poor clotting ability. These are just a few of the liver’s numerous functions.Special Effects

:Carb Overload Consumption of too many refined carbohydrates and/or too much alcohol can cause accumulation of triglycerides. This is bad since they are fat in nature. These cause congestion and interfere with normal liver function.

:System Failure So, how do you know if you have liver overload? Most laboratory tests for liver function focus on liver disease. However, it would be much better to be able to discover dysfunction before irreversible disease processes develop. Don’t you think?

:Picture of Health Because your liver is so important for many different functions in your total health picture, it should be evaluated periodically to eliminate problems before they begin. Remember, the liver is much larger than necessary for actual body needs. That means by the time a problem shows up---even minimally---the liver is already significantly overloaded.

:Lifetime Warranty That’s why it is especially important to follow any dietary or other treatment programs we recommend for you. This way you will keep your liver functioning normally for a healthier, longer, and happier life.
