03

El liver performs more than 500 functions, including cleansing the body of poisons, toxins, bacteria and virus, more than enough reasons to maintain liver health as a very important premise for general well-being.

The liver is the organ that works tirelessly to detoxify, inactivate and excrete toxic substances, drugs, hormones, dead and damaged cells of the body, but nevertheless, a toxin overload can leave the liver exhausted, allowing toxic material and waste to enter the blood, causing symptoms such as hormonal imbalances, fatigue and weakness of the immune system.

Physical symptoms manifest at the muscular level, such as allergies, indigestion, flatulence, eye problems (blotchy, red or watery eyes), headaches, hot flushes, insomnia, irritability, PMS and neck tension.

Other signs that indicate an overwhelmed liver include; a yellow tongue, a bitter taste in the mouth and a slower digestion of fats, a situation that over time motivates the obesity.

The liver plays an important role in metabolism and participates in the processing of fats, carbohydrates, proteins and vitamins, as well as in the storage of minerals, in addition to being an important reservoir of blood, filtering more than 1,4 liters per minute, since it is composed of specialized cells for clean it or Kupffer cells, which are capable of destroying almost 99% of the harmful bacteria in the portal venous blood as they pass through the liver.

El liver also produces and secretes almost a liter of bile per day, therefore taking care of your liver is very important to maintain energy and organic detoxification, thus promoting disease prevention.
