Nature's Healthy Liver

How well do you know your liver?
Unknown to many, the liver is one of the key organs in the body that performs many vital functions.

	An important protective organ, removing bacteria and foreign materials from the blood as it passes through the liver.
	Acts as a detoxifying agent for many medications and toxins, produces important blood proteins and metabolises carbohydrates, proteins and fats.
	Produces important blood proteins and other molecules.
	Stores iron, certain vitamins and eliminates old haemoglobin.
	Produces bile, a key substance that digests fats and helps in absorption of fat-soluble vitamins i.e. A, D, E and K.

The liver is the only organ that regenerates itself. However, it is still susceptible to damage or diseases caused by negative environmental and lifestyle factors such as:

	Viral infections
	Excessive alcohol intake
	Environmental toxins
	Certain medications

Does your liver need extra attention?
People who should be especially careful about their liver health include those who:

	Eat fatty food and have a generally poor diet
	Have poor digestive function
	Need to lower their cholesterol levels
	Use oral contraceptives, Hormone Replacement Therapy or other hormonal drugs
	Drink alcohol on regular basis
	Are exposed to pesticides, solvents or other environmental pollutants
	Are trying to reduce body fat

The second largest organ in the body - weighing almost the same as a football - the liver is ironically the least cared for and mostly go unnoticed until something went wrong. While there may be symptoms, without a medical check-up, most of us won't know if our livers are functioning properly. The possible signs and symptoms of a poorly functioning liver include:

	Hepatitis A, B and C
	Cirrhosis or scarring of the liver, often resulting from excessive alcohol intake
	Skin pigmentation
	Eczema
	Dark circles under eyes
	Poor gall bladder function
	Constipation
	Fat intolerance
	Itchy skin
	Feeling nauseas
