The liver detoxifies all the chemicals and harmful substances from the food you eat. When you eat, all the nutrients are absorbed into the body’s blood circulation. At the same time, foreign substances, chemicals, or food additives are absorbed into your blood circulation, too.
It is extremely important to detoxify these harmful substances before they have a chance to reach various organs in your body. The liver is your guard organ and plays a large role in decreasing toxicity and destroying those chemicals to protect your body.
As such, it is important to keep the liver healthy. Keep reading to learn some simple ways to do so!
Try to avoid a diet with high calories, high fat, or high sugar intake. This type of diet can cause an increase in body weight and accumulation of body fat, which are risk factors of a fatty liver. A well-balanced healthy diet should include a moderate amount of all the nutrients our bodies need including:
High-quality proteins
Unsaturated fat (while limiting saturated fat)
Abundant complex carbohydrates
In addition, include trace nutrients such as vitamins and minerals in your diet. Take adequate amounts of B vitamins (B1, B2, and B3) to support energy and metabolism. Vitamins E and K are key in helping reduce the formation of blood clots.1
Minerals such as magnesium, chromium, and zinc help your body metabolize macronutrients like glucose and lipids, which help support the liver. For those who are overweight or obese or who are trying to lose weight by sticking to a diet, consider paying more attention to your vitamin and mineral intake.
Alcohol is metabolized in the liver to produce acetate. However, in the middle of the metabolism, an intermediate metabolite called acetylaldehyde can be produced, which is bioactive and triggers the production of free radicals in the body. The accumulation of acetylaldehyde will cause fatty liver and inflammation, which decreases healthy liver function. Limit your alcohol intake to keep the liver healthy.
A sedentary lifestyle is a worldwide problem, which is a risk factor for obesity, diabetes, fatty liver, and other health issues. Staying active is one way to increase your energy consumption and energy balance and avoid gaining body weight. Counting your steps is the easiest way to keep active. Taking 6,000-9,000 steps each day can reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease.2 Experts also recommend other physical activities such as hiking, swimming, biking, and jogging.
4Life LivRite is specially formulated with a proprietary blend of herbs and antioxidants such as milk thistle, red clover, dandelion, artichoke, and broccoli to support the liver’s natural detoxification process and fight against free radicals.
Studies have reported that the active ingredients in milk thistle extracted from the plant's seeds or from red clover also have antioxidant properties.3,4
In conclusion, it is crucial to prioritize the health of your liver, as its proper functioning is essential for your overall well-being. Take proactive steps to care for your liver by following these simple guidelines and embracing a liver-friendly lifestyle.
