LIVER WELLNESS:
Your liver is a vital organ that performs many essential functions. It’s the largest solid organ in the body and is located under your rib cage on the upper right side. It weighs about three pounds and is shaped like a football that is flat on one side, with 2 lobes. Your liver processes everything you eat, drink, breathe, and absorb through your skin. It helps to manufacture hormones, proteins, and enzymes your body uses to function and fight off disease. It turns nutrients into energy your body can use and removes harmful substances from your blood, it is rightly called Energy House!
Eating a healthy diet helps the liver perform efficiently and effectively. Conversely, eating an unhealthy diet can lead to liver disease. For example, a person with unhealthy eating habits is at higher risk of being overweight and having fatty liver disease. Fatty liver, characterized by an excessive accumulation of fat inside liver cells, makes it more difficult for the liver to function and can eventually lead to scarring of the liver.
The liver breaks down alcohol so it can be eliminated from your body. Some of the by-products of this process are toxic chemicals that, in high concentration, trigger inflammation and injure liver cells. Drinking too much alcohol, either on a single occasion – known as binge drinking – or drinking a lot over time, can take a serious toll on your liver. Liver damage can lead to the build-up of fat in your liver (fatty liver), swelling or inflammation of your liver (alcoholic hepatitis), and/or severe scarring of your liver (cirrhosis).

How can I maintain a healthy liver? There are a number of things you can do to maintain the health of your liver. They include: eating a healthy diet, limiting the amount of alcohol you drink, correctly managing your medications, avoiding inhaling or touching toxic substances.
How does a healthy diet help my liver? What constitutes a healthy diet? To eat a healthy diet, keep in mind the following recommendations when planning your meals: Eat a diet that contains healthy amounts of protein, carbohydrates, and fats found in fish, meat, dairy, vegetables, grains, fruits and oils. Eat foods that have a lot of fibre, such as fresh fruits, vegetables, beans, and whole grain breads, rice and cereals. Limit foods that are high in saturated fats, which are solid at room temperature, like butter, stick margarine and deep fried food items. Limit processed, canned foods and foods that have a lot of sugar or salt.
Why is managing my medications important to my liver health? Remember that your liver processes everything you eat, drink, breathe, and absorb through your skin. This includes all the medicines you take: over-the-counter medicine, prescription medicine, vitamins,and dietary supplements. When medications are taken incorrectly — by taking too much or not taking in recommended dosage, taking the wrong type, or by mixing them — your liver can be harmed.
How can things I inhale or touch affect my liver? Because your liver processes what you breathe and absorb through your skin, toxins contained in cleaning products, aerosol sprays, insecticides and other chemicals can affect the health of your liver. Follow directions carefully when using these products to limit your exposure to toxins. Many of these products should be used in a well-ventilated room to limit how much you inhale. In addition, gloves should be worn where indicated so the products do not come into contact with your skin.
