What you should know about your liver?

The liver is our magic laboratory, without which life is impossible. An incredibly perfect, complex and powerful organ that protects us from harmful substances. The liver has great strength self-regeneration (regeneration), but everything in life has its limits. Do not test the ability of his body, but think about your health and your liver.
Every day, you can make a small step that will improve day by day your health and keep your liver.



Have you ever thought how many times in life you take food or medications that can damage your liver. How to pill a year? How to toxins in ten years? How many liters are harmful drinking carbonated beverages, as toxic additives you eat? The body remembers everything, even when damage is fully restored. This is especially true for the liver and lungs. Therefore, we also suggest that you forget about the cigarettes!

Any bad habits endanger your health. Poor eating habits threaten the health of the liver. Fatty liver has become a huge problem today. It is most common in the metabolic syndrome and obesity.You've heard the term fatty liver?
Well my dear friends of fatty liver is not an innocent thing, it is a special type of inflammation of the liver, popularly known as NASH, or nonalcoholic steatohepatitis. This type of inflammation is almost regular companion thick and can make a huge impact on your body.

Do not eat fast food, or eat less. I also love fried potatoes, potato chips, baked and fried foods, pastry, but slowly trying to change some habits.

If there is damage to the liver, where compromised liver function registers a series of health problems, and gradually the body enters a state called. chronic poisoning.


The liver is a vital organ, through which flows a large amount of blood from a number of harmful substances, the liver removes from our bodies. All these poisons gradually or abruptly can damage the liver, especially in situations where you have a chronic illness of the liver in the form of hepatitis. Liver cells, called hepatocytes.


How to identify problems with your liver?

The most common symptoms of liver disease are chronic fatigue, headaches, insomnia, mood swings, indigestion, constipation, flatulence, vomiting, nausea. In the final stages there are yellowing of the skin and mucous membranes, swelling of the legs and abdomen, consciousness disturbances and liver (hepatic, hepatic) coma. The most common cause of liver failure is liver. The liver is also very important in the normal functioning of the immune system. Liver dysfunction affects other organs in our body.

What to do when you know you have a diseased liver?

Any liver disease can be acute and chronic. If the disease does not go into a definite state (chronicity), then the liver in most cases recover completely. If you exceed the disease into a chronic stage, it is a big problem, because most liver disease ultimately is not curable, but can be kept under control. At the point of permanent damage to the liver, it creates scar tissue, or fibrosis, which is a reaction to the inflammatory process. Severe form of fibrosis leading to cirrhosis of the liver. Science of liver disease called hepatology.
The most common liver disease as alcoholic liver disease, hepatitis, fatty liver, toxic liver damage.
Fatty liver has two forms. One is related to alcohol consumption and is called alcoholic steatohepatitis. The second form is associated with obesity and with enealkoholni called steatohepatitis. Liver disease in the first phase manifests enlargement of the liver, which is called hepatomegaly. Fatty liver steatosis denoted by the term.


What are the common symptoms of liver disease?

Clinical features of liver disease is diverse. Some of the symptoms belonging to the common symptoms, such as fatigue, loss of appetite, indigestion, nausea, bloating, constipation (constipation), vomiting, sexual dysfunction, decreased libido, hemorrhoids, menstrual cycle disorders, impaired fertility, stabbing abdominal pain below right ribs port, skin yellowing (icterus), swelling, swelling of the abdomen (ascites).
In advanced liver disease occur jaundice (jaundice), coagulation disorders (coagulation) of blood, decreased muscle mass, arachnoids angioma (spider naevus), erythema (redness) palms, decreased body hair, breast enlargement (gynecomastia), fluid accumulation in the abdomen (ascites ) and bleeding from esophageal varices due.


What not to eat, because your liver does not like it?

Most medications are metabolized through the liver and during its passage through the liver, the right of damages. Particularly harmful substance acetaminophen or paracetamol which has been shown to be toxic to the liver (hepatotoxic). Tylenol is often used, indomethacin, some antibiotics, anti-tuberculosis drugs, anesthetics (halothane) are also otrvoni the liver. These drugs have a direct toxic effect on the liver cells. poisonous mushrooms contain very strong hepatotoxin.
There are drugs that cause stagnation of bile, or holestatskog lead to liver damage, such as phenothiazine, some antidepressants, sex hormones. The most  damages disappears after discontinuation. Sometimes he comes to the appearance of permanent damage with prolonged, frequent drug use.

How to cure liver disease?

The best treatment is prevention. Stop consume toxins, bad food and drugs needlessly, reject alcohol and cigarettes vaccinated against hepatitis, note the transmission through sexual contact.The first step is setting up a correct diagnosis. Treatment is usually medicament. In the late stages the only cure is a liver transplant or liver transplant.

The people and the medical community for a long time used drugs have a protective effect on the liver, called the hepatoprotective drugs (hepatoprotective). They are not a cure for the ailing liver.These medications are only supplements and additives. Today there are a number of drugs that have a hepatoprotective effect.
They can be classified into two groups: antifibrotic/ anti-inflammatory and antioxidant resources. The hepatoprotective including B group vitamins, essential phospholipids, vitamin E, betaine. As an anti-inflammatory medications are used: ursodesoxicholic acid, pentoxifylline and losartan (angiotensin receptor antagonist).

What can we find in the market?
The most common drugs that protect the liver include B complex vitamins, and sylimarin Hepatil. Sylimarin is an excellent remedy for the liver, is made from milk thistle extract and contains three flavonoids (silybin, silychristin and silydianin). Sylimarin protects liver cells their antioxidant effects, protects against free radicals, stimulates protein synthesis, increases the synthesis of glutathione by over 35%. Sylimarin is good for a variety of liver diseases such as alcoholic liver disease, mushroom poisoning, drug damage (medicament hepatitis), viral hepatitis. Hepatil contains ornithine aspartate to facilitate detoxification and regeneration of liver cells and may be useful in inflammatory diseases (viral hepatitis) and alcoholic liver disease. Beneficial effect is achieved in the synthesis of glutamine and by increasing the synthesis of urea and ammonia elimination.

How to keep your liver?
Avoid junk, fatty foods, cigarettes and alcohol. Think of your body weight. Eat fruits, grains, legumes (peas, beans, green beans, broad beans). Eat a variety of nuts and seeds (sesame, flax, sunflower, pumpkin). Sometimes you use vitamin supplements, but only sometimes and do not go overboard!
What is not good for your liver and your entire body saturated fat, refined sugar and alcohol in particular.
Note the intake of coffee. Coffee eventually tired of your liver. I have already said that the liver remembers everything.
Look for fruits and vegetables that are not treated with pesticides. Pesticides are poisons extreme for your liver.
Day by day you're making small steps to improve your health.
