Liver Fat

The main function of liver is to convert food to energy, and produce chemicals and enzymes necessary to burn fat.

Liver stores iron reserves and vitamins and minerals and makes bile to digest food. It also manufactures cholesterol.

It filters and detoxifies alcohol, wine, harmful drugs, stores energy or glucose and removes the poisons and toxins that you breathe.

Your Liver is the key organ responsible for breakdown of fat.

It is a common fact that large percentages of overweight people have malfunctioning livers.

The liver produces bile, a byproduct of blood filtering. Bile leaves the liver and is stored in the gall bladder.

When fat is eaten, the gall bladder releases bile to emulsify the fat into tiny droplets.

Without bile, fat digestion is impossible.

Since the liver is the key organ for fat digestion you must make an effort to keep the liver in very good health if you want to loose fat.

You can take care of your liver in the following manner.

Avoid unnecessary drugs.

Avoid alcohol.

Dont mix alcohol with drugs and medication.

Please be careful when using aerosol cleaners, wear a mask if possible.

Increase intake of high-fibre foods such as fresh fruits & vegetables, whole grains, breads, rice and cereals.

Avoid rich desserts, snacks and drinks.

Avoid steroids as it causes fatty liver.

If you need a natural solution for rejuvenating your lever, I recommend Aloe Vera to you.

Aloe Vera has been highly recommended by Ayurveda for rejuvenating the cells of the lever.

You must be aware that the extract of Aloe Vera has been used world wide by the cosmetic industry for rejuvenating skin cells.

Ayurveda practitioners have utilized the same cell rejuvenating property of aloeVera in India since ages.

Aloe Vera is a plant belonging to lily family that grows upto 2-3 feet tall. This plant grows mainly in hot climates.

The gel in the leaves is used for internal consumption.

Aloe Vera gel supplies the nutrients required by the internal organs of the body and speeds up the healing process. It contains the following nutrients:

Vitamins B12, C, E And Beta carotene.

Enzymes, the life force of any living being, helps to digest the foood.

Contains 20 essential Amino acids required by the body as the essential building blocks for protein.

Contains Lignin, this is a woody substance which allows Aloe to penetrate the skin.

Salycylic acid in Aloe acts as an anti-inflammatory which helps to break down the dead tissues.

Contains natural pain killers known as Anthraquinones.

Saponins are the soapy substances which have anti microbial action.

Aloe Vera strengthens the bodies immunity and gets rid of all the sludge and waste material from areas of the bowel and liver. It supplies the liver with all the required nutrients and regulates its functioning and repairs it from inside.

Once the liver starts its normal function, fat dissolves automatically.

How to know if you need a liver detox diet

Someday you may notice that your body is so out of sync. You tire easily, have digestion problems, get bloated, struggle to lose weight, and feel your metabolism is practically at a stand still. These may all be signs that the liver is in trouble and needs detoxification or even medical attention.

The liver is the largest organ in the body and has numerous functions. In fact, it is the liver that manages the entire immune system and regulates metabolism, fats and proteins. The liver also acts as a manufacturing plant. When it works properly, the liver turns glucose (sugar) into another form glycogen for storage. It can release glucose when needed to maintain sugar levels in the blood. In addition, the liver acts as a storehouse for vital nutrients, iron, vitamin A, vitamin B, and B complex vitamins. The liver also creates more carbohydrates from fats and proteins.

As a detoxifying machine the liver works hard to rid toxins that attack and cause damage to the liver and other organs. Foods that are no longer fresh contain toxins and so do leftover foods from a previous meal.

You need to heed the signals the liver is putting out. You may have a fatty liver, developing liver failure, or simply have a sluggish liver that needs cleansing. There are many causes of a sluggish liver, liver disease and liver failure. You probably know that the most common cause is alcoholism. Other causes are overeating, diets rich in fats and sugars, analgesics and acetaminophen, some prescription drugs, household cleansers, pesticides, toxic chemicals in the workplace, and infections from hepatitis A, B and C.

If you are having some symptoms of poor liver function and want to reverse the damage, you can detox the liver with an alcohol-free liver tonic. Liver tonics are available at health food stores and pharmacies. You may also want to incorporate some of these suggestions into your daily lifestyle.

1. Limit or avoid alcohol, foods with preservatives, candies, pastries, ice cream, chips, creamy sauces and gravies, fried foods. If your diet contains these, you may end up with a fatty liver which can lead to even more serious diseases of the liver.

2. Avoid eating when you are not hungry. Instead eat a light snack.

3. Avoid getting dehydrated. Drink at least eight glasses of water, preferably filtered water since tap water may contain harmful sediments from the pipes.

4. Avoid sugars. The liver converts sugar into fat. Too much sugar will cause you to get fat and will damage your liver, heart and kidneys.

5. Limit eating meat to two or three times a week. Substitute beans and proteinrich food.

6. Avoid fats, especially saturated fats.

7. Eat carrot, beats, alfalfa and parsley to protect the liver from toxins.

You can find extensive information to cleanse the liver in the book, “The Liver Cleansing Diet.” This book includes an eight-week plan complete with easy recipes to follow. If you need to lose weight, you will probably lose a few pounds with the plan.

A fatty liver is one that has build-up of fat in the liver. It may not cause any harm to the liver, if mild. However, if the condition gets worse, the liver can become inflamed and over time, this might even result in severe liver damage.

Diabetes and high levels of cholesterol and triglycerides are often associated with a fatty liver. This means that there is a great chance of developing into complex medical complications such as hypertension, stroke and even heart disease.

An over-stress liver usually gets un-noticed since it has the capacity to regenerate. However, an over-stress liver can have symptoms such as digestive disturbances, aches and muscle stiffness. So watch out for these!

A therapeutic diet may be able to help and it usually consists of 2 parts: first to remove what is harmful and then to replace what is needed.

To remove what is harmful, you need to lower the overall intake of fats, which includes saturated animal fats and even the healthier vegetable fats. The only exception is omega-3 fatty acids. This is because these can help the liver process fats better and reduce the production of triglycerides. Even if you are not diabetic, intake of sugar and starchy foods should be minimized as sugar does affect triglyceride levels.

Meanwhile, you should stick to simple and unprocessed foods and products, and where possible, organic products. Avoid taking more medication than necessary, too.

You should ensure the body gets all the nutrients it needs. Certain foods, from the cruciferous family like cabbage, broccoli and radish contain nutrients that support the liver, should be included in your daily diet.

Try to take lots of herbs and spices such as ginger, cinnamon, garlic, coriander leaves and fresh turmeric since these help support the liver, heal and protect it, and act as a liver tonic, balancing sugar and lipid levels.

Magnesium and antioxidants such as vitamins C and E have been shown to protect liver. As such, make sure sufficient amount of these should be taken. If possible, get them from food sources such as green vegetables, whole grains, pumpkin seeds and citrus fruit.

If you feel that you are not getting enough vitamins and minerals from foods, you might want to consider taking some liver support supplements. Nevertheless, it is advisable to seek help from qualified dietitians or doctors. Taking large amount of vitamins and minerals without professional advice may do more harm than good to the liver.

The liver is involved in thousands of biochemical mechanisms making it second only to the brain in importance and complexity. Natural health practitioners are also acutely aware of the detrimental effects on the liver of modern living, with its chemicals, excessive fat intake, pesticides, hormones, and stress. This suggests that we as a culture are in need of liver support. You should consider liver support supplementation if you:

Have a history of a Fatty Liver
Consume Alcohol
Consume Tobacco Products
Have been taking Medications/Drugs
Are exposed to Environmental Toxins or Chemicals or Second Hand Smoke
Have a history of Liver or Gall Bladder Problems

Dandelion
Dandelion root enhances bile flow, thus improving conditions such as liver congestion, bile duct inflammation, hepatitis, gallstones, and jaundice. Dandelion increases bile flow by affecting the liver directly to cause an increase in bile production and flow to the gallbladder, and exerting a direct effect on the gallbladder by causing a contraction and release of stored bile. Dandelion’s hepatic tonic effect may be attributable to the high choline content.

Milk Thistle
Milk thistle (Silybum marianum) has been used since Greco-Roman times as an herbal remedy for a variety of ailments, particularly liver problems. Several scientific studies suggest that active substances in milk thistle (particularly silymarin) protect the liver from damage caused by viruses, toxins, alcohol, and certain drugs such as acetaminophen (a common over the counter medication used for headaches and pain; acetaminophen, also called paracetamol, can cause liver damage if taken in large quantities or by people who drink alcohol regularly.)

Many professional herbalists recommend milk thistle extract for the prevention and/or treatment of various liver disorders including viral hepatitis, fatty liver associated with long term alcohol use, and liver damage from drugs and industrial toxins such as carbon tetrachloride.
