An exhausted liver does not work properly, which increases the risk of both immediate and long-term health problems. Certain signs signal that a weakened organ needs detox.
The liver is a multitasking organ. It filters blood, produces bile for digestion, supports metabolism, regulates the removal of toxic waste, and these are just a few of its more than 500 functions.
Liver problems are common among people who abuse alcohol. But even those who do not drink run the risk of exhausting the liver if, for example, they neglect a healthy diet or are often under severe stress. In addition, the state of the body is negatively affected by environmental toxins and medication.
Some signs can indicate that a person's liver is exhausted and needs to be restarted.
- The skin and the whites of the eyes acquire a yellowish tint.
- Weight increases, although a person does not overeat.
- Constipation or bloating often occur.
- Anxiety is often felt, mood swings occur.
- Feeling tired.
- There is a craving for sugar or alcohol.
- The body acquires an unpleasant odor, sweating increases.
- The skin becomes dry, itchy.
- Bad breath appears.
- Discomfort is felt in the right side of the chest.
When talking about "rebooting the liver", experts mean, first of all, giving up alcohol, tobacco, and a lot of food with saturated fat. Citrus fruits, nuts and seeds, fermented foods, cruciferous and green leafy vegetables, legumes should be present in the diet. Physical activity at the level of at least 30 minutes a day is also important. If negative symptoms persist, you should consult a doctor.
