PROTECT YOUR LIVER FROM DRUGS AND ALCOHOLIC DAMAGE

Much documentations have been made either on the internet, magazines, textbooks or even on billboard to advocate the significant impacts of drugs and alcohol on liver health. You must have been informed about the central roles of liver in metabolism and so you should know it's importance in the body. Read on to be informed once more.

A research carried out by Scottish researchers warn that those who drink soft water and who also consume alcohol risk developing Alcoholic Liver Disease — a major killer.

The study author/liver transplant surgeon, Prof. Roger Williams, says those who drink soft water are exposed to the risk of liver damage because such waters contain lower levels of magnesium — the mineral that helps to protect the liver from the effects of alcohol.
But even on its own, Alcoholic Liver Disease occurs after years of heavy drinking, says a nutritionist. Alcohol can cause inflammation in the liver; and over time, scarring and cirrhosis can occur. Cirrhosis is the final phase of alcoholic liver disease.
It is noted that the longer the time you have been using alcohol, the higher your chances of getting liver disease go up.

Smoking

Smoking is harmful to virtually every organ in your body. Scientists say there are over 60 chemicals in cigarette smoke, all of which have the potential to affect and disturb all parts of the human anatomy.
These chemicals prevent the liver from performing its main function by making it to age and less efficient at removing toxins from the body. Click HERE to see how smoking affect you

Fatty foods

A Nutritional biochemist says foods that are processed and contain lots of preservatives, fats and cholesterol can cause the liver to become congested and clogged with fat residue. Avoid processed, deep fried or fatty foods such as sausage, bacon, and corned beef, etc., to allow the liver to unblock itself and regenerate its cells.

Symptoms of liver diseases include weakness and fatigue, weight loss, nausea, vomiting, and yellow discoloration of the skin (jaundice).Click here to go back to HOME PAGE
