Detox series. Liver

 

21st Century life brings with it stress, environmental pollution, unhealthy diets and fast foods. Illnesses like cancer, heart disease, arthritis and other lifestyle conditions are becoming more frequent. Research has shown that environmental pollution enters the blood stream via food, water supply and the atmosphere and causes levels of toxins to build up in the body. These toxins affect body functioning, especially the functioning of the liver.

Liver Functions

The liver plays the key role in converting toxins into nontoxic substances, which are then eliminated by the kidneys. These conversions are performed mostly by enzymes. Both the liver and the kidneys need to function properly to keep the body free of poisonous substances. Since the liver has such as important role in protecting our health, when it becomes overburdened with toxins, many health problems can arise. The liver is responsible for such vital functions as: regulating blood sugar, energy production, and hormone production and regulation. A wide range of factors can inhibit these enzymes from doing their jobs. Such factors include food additives, preservatives and colorings, birth control pills, all prescription and over-the-counter medications, environmental toxins, and nutritional deficiencies due to malnutrition. Once the liver becomes overburdened with toxic materials it isn't able to neutralize, illnesses become inevitable. Experts believe there is a definite link between the ability of the liver to detoxify and Parkinson's disease, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, Alzheimer's disease, lupus and rheumatoid arthritis. To maximize liver function, the following should be avoided: alcohol, all drugs, caffeine, food additives, colorings, preservatives, pesticides, polluted air and toxic fumes.

Body Toxins

Many toxins that we consume or we exposed to will not dissolve in water. These toxins, called lipid-soluble and will only dissolve in oil or oily solutions. Fatty tissue or tissues that have lipid soluble membranes, like the liver, can store lipid soluble toxins for months or years. One of the liver's jobs is to convert these toxins from lipid-soluble to water-soluble. Once they are water soluble, or can be dissolved by water, they can be flushed from the body, released by the kidneys or bowels. This change takes place in the liver through a complex system of enzymes. The liver has the ability to break down and remove other invaders as well. It can break down debris, bacteria and chemical toxins through other complex processes. But a liver that is overloaded with toxins may not be able to keep up with the demand for its services. When this is the case, it must continue to store toxins, even if storage of those toxins over a long period of time might result in liver damage.

Make your choice

By making educated choices you can limit your exposure to toxins in your environment. The other half of the equation means helping your liver to get rid of toxins you have already absorbed. Remember that never before in history have our bodies confronted the onslaught of chemicals found in our modern world. Food grown in today's depleted soils can't supply the necessary vitamins, minerals and amino acids, and unless it's organically grown, it adds additional chemicals used in the growing process. Your diet should consist of plenty of cruciferous vegetables, such as fresh broccoli, cabbage, cauliflower and Brussels-sprouts. These are known for their anti-cancer properties and their ability to activate detoxifying enzymes. In addition, try to breathe clean air and drink plenty of purified water. Fresh lemon juice squeezed in a glass of water first thing in the morning is also a great liver cleanser. A wide range of herbs and supplements can help in the detoxification of the liver and kidneys. Herbs stimulate the flow of blood to the liver, thereby stimulating the liver's own cleaning processes. Increasing your intake of water can also aid the liver is flushing out water-soluble toxins.
