Have you ever done a liver cleanse? Do you know why it is important to do it every so often?

Did you know the liver is the largest organ in the body and is responsible for filtering toxins from our body, and if it becomes overworked or damaged, our overall health can suffer. A cleanse helps to reset the liver and improve its ability to flush out harmful substances.

Key functions of your liver:

Most of us do not really think about our liver or take time to care for it, but since it is supporting us in a very big way, we need to do that every so often.

Here are some signs of poor liver health:

1. Fatigue and Weakness: Feelings of fatigue or weakness can indicate that your liver is not functioning correctly. This is because the liver plays a vital role in producing energy for the body.

2. Jaundice: Yellowing of the skin or eyes is often a sign of jaundice, which is due to a buildup of bilirubin in the bloodstream. Bilirubin is normally processed by the liver.

3. Abdominal Pain and Swelling: Pain and swelling in the abdominal area can be a sign of liver disease. This is due to fluid buildup in the abdomen or inflamed liver tissues.

4. Loss of Appetite and Weight Loss: When your liver is not functioning adequately, it can lead to a decrease in appetite and weight loss because of malnutrition.

5. It can also cause the ability to not be able to lose weight. Everyone is different.

5. Digestive Issues: Chronic digestion problems, such as diarrhea, constipation, or acid reflux, can also be signs of liver damage.

6. Dark Urine and Pale Stools: If you notice dark urine and pale stools, this can indicate that your liver is not breaking down waste products efficiently.

7. Anxiety or Depression: There is a connection between mental health issues such as depression and anxiety and the health of the liver. When the liver is not working correctly, toxins can build up in the bloodstream and cause inflammation, negatively affecting mental wellbeing.

8. Bruise easily: A compromised liver can affect the production of blood-clotting proteins, which can lead to easy bruising.

9. High Blood Pressure: High blood pressure or hypertension can be a sign that your liver is not functioning correctly. This is because the liver plays a role in regulating blood pressure by processing hormones that affect circulation.

There are many benefits associated with a liver cleanse, including increased energy levels, clearer skin, improved digestion, and reduced inflammation.

To cleanse the liver, it involves adopting a healthy diet, reducing the consumption of fatty or processed foods, and incorporating more fruits and vegetables into your diet. Additionally, certain herbs such as Milk Thistle and Dandelion Root have been found to support liver health and function.
