Caring for Your Liver
Liver contributes to the detoxification and metabolism of your body. Your skin health, weight loss, and immune system are closely connected to the well-being of your liver.
Once you understand these connections, you will know the right approach to care for your liver. So let's get started by first understanding how your liver works!
-
A stronger Immune System
The liver contains cells that control the immune system, therefore when liver functions decline, it becomes easier for you to catch a cold. Furthermore, blood flows through the liver where virus-infected cells or senescent cells are accumulated here. If they are not effectively processed, they can become the causes of illnesses. A healthy liver will contribute to a stronger immune system and keep you healthy and happy. -
Weight Loss Becomes Easier
About 70% of our daily energy expenditure is from basal metabolism. Even though basal metabolism increases with the increase of muscles, energy expenditure by the liver is actually higher than by the muscles. In other words, activating your liver functions will contribute to a more effective weight loss plan. -
Better Skin Condition
The liver processes reactive oxygen species (ROS) in blood. However, stress and fatigue can cause this function to decline, causing waste materials to increase along with ROS, resulting in the decline of your metabolism, leading to skin troubles like blemishes. In brief, by caring for your liver, you are caring for your skin as well.
