What is the liver used for?

The liver acts as a filter that removes toxins from the blood and prevents them from building up in the body. When the liver is overloaded with toxins, it begins to malfunction, much like a clogged vacuum cleaner. If the liver is not functioning properly, the body as a whole does not function well.

In addition to detoxifying the body, the liver performs other key tasks:

• They are the main organ of metabolism, or substance conversion .
• They play a key role in the metabolism of carbohydrates, fats, and proteins .
• They produce bile, which aids digestion .
• They produce some hormones and destroy some hormones (insulin, steroid hormones).
• They are a storage organ for glycogen, iron, some vitamins and minerals .
• They are made up of blood plasma proteins .

How does detoxification work?

In Phase 1 of detoxification, the liver breaks down chemicals like drugs, hormones, and pesticides into less harmful toxins, which produces free radicals that can damage liver cells. In Phase 2, toxins like nicotine and caffeine are converted into water-soluble compounds that are easily excreted by the body in bile or urine. During this phase, the liver again produces free radicals, which can lead to liver cell damage.

How to support liver detoxification?

• Healthy diet : Eat a balanced diet rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and healthy fats. Foods like garlic, broccoli, cabbage, and leafy greens can help detoxify.
• Adequate hydration: Drinking enough water helps the kidneys and liver remove toxins from the body.
• Limit alcohol: Minimize alcohol intake or avoid it altogether, as alcohol puts excessive strain on the liver.
• Regular exercise: Physical activity helps improve overall health and support liver function.
• Reduce medication and toxin use: Limit excessive medication use unless necessary and avoid exposure to toxic chemicals.
• Maintaining an optimal body weight: Obese people are more susceptible to nonalcoholic fatty liver disease. Maintaining a healthy weight reduces the burden on the liver.
