Importance of a Liver Detox Cleanse
Most
people do not realize how vital the liver, our largest internal organ,
really is. It is the chief organ involved in detoxifying your body, and
is often overlooked when considering a cleansing program.
When the liver is over-stressed all other organs start to dysfunction.
It is constantly working to break down not only the environmental and
external toxins that invade our body though breathing and eating,
but also those produced during normal metabolic processes in the body
(internal toxins). Many common symptoms such as headaches, mental
confusion, muscle pain, fatigue, poor coordination, nerve problems,
skin irritations and emotional imbalances can be a result of over
exposure to toxins. If liver function can be improved the entire body
will benefit.
Every vein from the
digestive tract empties into the liver for filtering out toxins and
waste. The skin and lungs are the body’s first line of defense against
toxins; the bowel is next, then the liver and kidneys. When the colon is
overburdened with poor dietary consumption and accumulated toxicity,
the liver must then work overtime in the attempts to purge the toxins
and pollutants from the body.
If the liver is unable to perform its full function, it will not only
become even more toxic, but all the other organs are challenged in a
domino effect. Many doctors and physicians report that prior to the
first sign of many diseases, the effectiveness of the liver has already
been reduced and functionally overwhelmed.
Some of the liver's functions are:
- To convert food into chemicals necessary for life and growth;
- To manufacture and export important substances used by the rest of the body;
- To process drugs absorbed from the digestive tract into forms that are easier for the body to use; and
- To detoxify and excrete substances that otherwise would be poisonous.
Here are just a few of the ways your liver helps you:
- By producing quick energy when it is needed;
- By manufacturing new body proteins;
- By regulating blood clotting;
- By regenerating its own damaged tissue;
- By Producing more than 13,000 essential body chemicals and hormones including cholesterol, testosterone, and estrogen. Plus your liver manages over 50,000 enzymes vital to maintain a healthy body;
- By Regulating blood sugar levels and prevents dangerous high spikes and low falls;
- By Storing essential vitamins and minerals — including vitamins A, D, K and B12.
- By Detoxifying all internal and external environmental pollutants.
