How to protect your liver during the holidays?
The Christmas holidays are almost here, so we’ve prepared some simple tips on how to prepare your liver, avoid fatty liver, and what to be careful with, so your liver can effectively remove toxins. Although our body has its own cleansing system (liver, kidneys, lungs, intestines…), sometimes it needs extra help to eliminate toxins and accumulated waste products from the body.
We are usually used to detoxifying the body later (make promises that we will start with diet in January… ), but we can still follow some guidelines that will help us improve the functioning of our liver. Poor performance means poor functioning of the mind and body, which is not what we want for the upcoming holidays. So in the coming weeks, it’s a good idea to consider including some of the things from the list below – to keep you relaxed during the holiday season.
People love to eat delicious food, and love to enjoy some alcoholic drink with it. And that’s why fatty liver is a problem that face as many as 30 percent of people!
Fatty liver is not something only people who like to consume alcoholic beverages face! Unhealthy diet, lack of exercise, smoking, lack of sleep and stress also cause fatty liver – the problem that every 3rd Brit faces! And most of them are not even aware that this condition is the cause of their problems and lack of energy!
Nutrition comes first
It is the most important “ingredient” of well-being and a healthy body. We need to make sure that we do not burden the body with food and unnecessarily put excessive amounts of toxins, which will cause even more confusion in our body. This, of course, is easier said than done. Especially now when it is not easy to find fresh groceries at the stores. Our shopping cart should be full with fresh fruits and vegetables, legumes, oat flakes and other great sources of energy, vitamins and minerals.Take turmeric
We know that everyone likes its colour! In addition to good taste and beautiful yellow colour, this seemingly common spice has a hidden weapon, as it is known as one of the most powerful herbs on the planet to fight inflammation, and also helps cleanse and detoxify the body. Turmeric is great for increasing bile flow along with foods that are high in fat. Turmeric has better beneficial effects in combination with lipids and piperine (found in black pepper). Curcumin is an incredible active ingredient derived from turmeric, which has been used for thousands of years for medicinal purposes.Maintain a healthy weight and reduce stress
When overweight, we are at risk of having fat around the liver, which can also cause non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) – one of the fastest growing forms of liver disease. Weight loss can play an important role in reducing the fat around the liver. Go for a long walk, sign up for yoga, start cycling or go for a short run in nature. Learn how to reduce stress in your life as this will minimize its effects on your body. Try exercising. Not only that it reduces stress, but it also speeds up blood circulation, thus stimulates the detoxification.Drink enough water
We know this rule for a very long time – more alcohol, more water. This will keep you hydrated and remove alcohol-related toxins in the process. At the same time, try to reduce your alcohol intake. This is because alcohol is metabolized in the liver, so not consuming these toxins is a real relief for the liver. From 2 to 2.5 litres of water is enough to maintain a sufficient amount in our body, which we lose through both – urination and sweating. However, people feel thirsty when we lack 1-2 percent of body’s fluids. That’s why many say that we should drink before we feel thirsty. Thirst is the first indicator of a lack of water in the body.
