The liver is about three and a half pounds. It is located in the upper right-hand portion of the abdominal cavity, it has 500 different functions.
Some of the more well-known functions include the following:
Processing of hemoglobin for use of its iron content (the liver stores iron)
Production of bile, which helps carry away waste and break down fats in the small intestine during digestion.
Production of certain proteins for blood plasma.
Production of cholesterol and special proteins to help carry fats through the body.
Conversion of excess glucose into glycogen for storage (glycogen can later be converted back to glucose for energy) and to balance and make glucose as needed.
Conversion of poisonous ammonia to urea (urea is an end product of protein metabolism and is excreted in the urine)
Resisting infections by making immune factors and removing bacteria from the bloodstream.
Regulation of blood levels of amino acids, which form the building blocks of proteins.
Regulating blood clotting.
Clearing the blood of drugs and other poisonous substances.
symptoms of fatty liver
when someone develops a fatty liver there are virtually no symptoms at all now you start to develop a gut but it's very rare to have symptoms until it starts becoming more advanced and then eventually the person starts getting fatigued weak nausea abdominal pain, right shoulder pain, pain in the upper right trap, some headaches on the right side, pain in the right rhomboid back.
What happens for fatty liver after years of inflammation
What happens for fatty liver after years of inflammation, you get cirrhosis and this is scar tissue now builds up in the liver and in this process, you lose function of the liver you lose the ability to detoxify, so you build up to toxic waste you also build up excessive amounts of cortisol because the liver is the organ to help buffer and regulate excessive amounts of cortisol that's the stress hormone this is one of the causes to an adrenal fatigue problem, also you start building up excessive amounts of estrogen this can manifest as many different things one man boobs a woman that's estrogen dominant you can have cancer so a functional liver is really important in the detoxification and regulation of these two hormones.
Moreover, when you have less function of the liver you get bile production and if you're not producing bile you can't break down toxic waste you can't break down fats you can't absorb vitamin A, D, K omega-3 fatty acids and the list goes on and on and on. There are two different categories of a fatty liver one would be caused by drinking too much alcohol the other one is a fatty liver disease you can develop from eating very poorly and the big thing that causes a fatty liver would be fructose in the form of high-fructose corn syrup it's in the sodas it's in the food.
Not just overweight people suffer from fatty liver
Fructose is 20 times more likely to cause fatty liver than any other sugars and as far as the non-alcoholic fatty liver disease 25 percent of the population has this not just overweight people not just people with a gut skinny people are twice as likely to die from a fatty liver then overweight people probably because they're skinny and they think they're healthy and they can eat whatever they want so they do eat whatever they want.
There are many studies on this but here's what happens when mice are fed methionine and choline-deficient diets they get a fatty liver but they don't gain weight they don't get insulin resistance or diabetes they just get a fatty liver thine eyne is an amino acid in choline is an essential nutrient in the B vitamin family and thine eyne is a precursor a building block to the most powerful antioxidant in the body which is called glutathione which is a software-based compound that helps you break down chemicals and choline is a called a lipid trophic.
Nutrient it actually dissolves fat in the body and it can actually strip off fat from your liver so now let's get into the counterintuitive tip.
When you think about liver cleansing and getting rid of a liver problem you're thinking of juicing a vegetable cleanse consuming low fats consuming lower amounts of meats things like that however, when you do that you only get a certain amount of results because check out the foods that are loaded with choline are egg yolks liver grass-fed dairy and cruciferous vegetable, you have beef, chicken, pork, nuts, fish, eggs so two of the most important nutrients in correcting or reversing a fatty liver involve foods higher in fat and protein so if you want to cleanse and heal a fetid liver you don't want to go low-fat you don't want to keep your protein too low moderate protein not excessive but you don't want to start cutting out all these foods instead of doing juicing or only vegetables you should do a combination of the cruciferous vegetables and fattier proteins including egg yolks and fish, of course, make sure they're grass-fed.
The way to get rid of the liver toxins and fats
There are two goals with detoxifying a fatty liver one is to get rid of the toxins of course because the liver has a function of detoxification so the cruciferous vegetables are loaded with the phytonutrients to help create this effect.
Certain animal products organ meats, fish seafood also have antioxidants to help remove toxins from your liver it's not just vegetables, so we want to do something to get rid of the toxins as well as get rid of the fat, and to do this you must lower your carbs and this is why a healthy version of keto is necessary and that means the concept of low carb with a lot of vegetables so that would be essential and then of course in a minute fasting why because intermittent fasting forces your body to use up your glycogen Reserve and to run off fat so it kind of creates a vacuum to pull the fat out of the body and that's what's needed to start because intermittent fasting forces your body to use up your glycogen Reserve and to run off fat so it kind of creates a vacuum to pull the fat out of the body and that's what's needed to start to deplete the fat in the liver.
It is also suggested that you take choline as a supplement you can get methionine from the protein and you can also get choline, but if you take some extra choline It is recommended about 4 to 500 milligrams you can even go as high as 3,000 milligrams if you want but, typically I always start about 300 to 400 milligrams of choline you can get in a tablet or get into powder and start consuming that, what that will do, it will start to dissolve the fat and the liver and speed up the process so of course, we want to add the crisps I would recommend steaming or lightly cooking these because that will release more vital nutrients.
Eggs are essential for the choline quality protein, of course, don't get this at 7-11 The last important point is if you try to cleanse the liver especially if it's a fatty liver with a low-fat diet you will not have enough bile to help detoxify it one of the functions of bio is detoxification so bile just about absorbing fats on the vitamins it is about making sure the liver can purge some of the toxic wastes and what triggers bile higher amounts of saturated fats this is why you want to keep consuming egg yolks maybe even organ meats and moderate amounts of protein to make sure you release the bile and you don't become deficient in methionine or choline.
