Did you know that the liver is one of the crucial body organs and it has numerous roles, including the conversion of toxins into removable waste in the form of feces and urine? However, since we live in a time where the surroundings are filled with all kinds of chemicals and toxins, the risk of the liver becoming sluggish and overwhelmed increases and its function deteriorates. Consequently, it cannot do its job and the body begins to pile up the waste and puts you at risk of all kinds of health issues. One such health problem is fatty liver disease. Namely, even though the liver is normally fatty, in this case, the fat accounts for 5 to 10 percent of the liver’s total weight. The disease can be of two types, that is, non-alcoholic and alcoholic.
The former can be a result of high levels of cholesterol or genetics whereas the latter is caused by excessive intake of alcohol.
Signs That Your Liver Needs Detox
Acne
Surplus toxins in the body can trigger hormonal imbalances associated with excessive acne. In this case, topical treatments do not solve the problem because it is actually an internal one.
Allergies
When the liver does its job, it produces antibodies capable of fighting off allergens. When this does not take place, the body begins to store them and as a response, the brain creates histamine, a chemical that marks the allergens for removal. Surplus levels of histamine are known to trigger allergy signs, including itchiness, headache, and brain fog.
Too much sweating
When the liver fails to work properly, it overheats and then the heat transfers onto the other parts of the body, resulting in excessive sweating so that the body can cool down.
Chronic tiredness
Too many toxins in the body avert the metabolism of muscle tissues and lead to pain and tiredness, as well as mood swings, anger outbursts, and depression.
Weight gain
When the liver works overtime to expel waste from the body and as a consequence, its function deteriorates and the toxins which have been unprocessed stay in fat cells and fat circulates from the gut, through the bile, and back into the liver.
