It is also a very resilient organ in that you can lose two thirds of your Liver in an accident and it will grow back.
So what causes this heavyweight to get down-trodden? Well the liver is a detoxifier so right off the bad anyone who overloads on toxins can experience trouble. Smoking, drug abuse, alcohol abuse, and environmental contaminants can do a lot of harm. The liver is also a digestive organ responsible for so many things such as fat metabolism, food detoxification, and glycogen storage and conversion. Eating heavy fatty foods such as fried foods, excessive cheeses, highly processed foods like potato chips, and cold cuts.
So how do you take care of a Liver and help it get detoxified? Here are some pointers; Drink lots of water. Also, make sure you eat a lot of fruit. You should consume at least one tablespoon of raw extra virgin olive oil (unheated). Black radish vials (once every two days) can do wonders as well. Try to choose a brand that includes artichoke extract for optimal results. Fresh squeezed lemon juice is also very helpful so, since you’ll already be drinking water, why not add some flavour by squeezing some lemon juice in it. You should also consider taking Milk Thistle capsules, the herb has been known as a great Liver cleanser. Homeopathic drops can also work wonders.
