❶ Health Academy: Liver Reboot

The list of functions that the liver performs in the human body consists of many items. But the main task of the organ is to maintain the purity of the internal environment of a person, freeing it from biological waste. For this, the liver daily produces about a liter of bile: the toxins formed during metabolism are excreted with it. But the one who tirelessly cleanses herself needs help. Location: Location: With an active lifestyle, liver function increases. Normally, it should complete 400 cleaning cycles per day, and if there is a lack of movement, the blood can only be filtered 200 times. Hence the general slagging of the body: during hypodynamia, toxins accumulate both in itself and in the liver.

For example, the gourmet foie gras liver consists of almost one fat, but is considered a gem of French cuisine. To make it so high in calories, geese and ducks are hung in special hammocks and fed with selected grain. If a person leads a similar lifestyle, 2-3 kg of fat can accumulate in his liver. Normally, the share of fatty substances should account for 5% of the liver, and with excess body weight, about 40% of them accumulate there. At the same time, the weight of the organ itself increases to 5 kg.

The percentage of fat is determined by ultrasound, but a large liver is noticeable and without special examination. It becomes cramped in the right hypochondrium, so the edge of the organ sticks out from under the costal arch, which is why the stomach takes the shape of an apple with a wide base in its upper part (epigastrium).

In medicine, there are drugs for cleansing the liver - hepatoprotectors, which are of two types: natural remedies that protect the organ and preparations based on essential phospholipids that help restore its cells.

Cleansing the liver is possible with mineral water. This technique is called tyubage. Do not self-medicate, carry out any procedures only after examination and doctor's recommendations.

Monitor your diet, limit sweet, spicy, smoked, salty, mushroom and fish broths, processed cheese, alcohol, coffee, pork, lamb. Eat more seafood. Boiled, baked, cooked in the form of soufflé, cutlets, meatballs, fish is rich in lipotropic substances that help the liver cells to get rid of fat.

Have liver fasting days 2-3 times a week. She needs such a respite to recover.
