Blood purification, hematopoiesis, participation in the exchange of fats, proteins, vitamins and hormones, in the synthesis of a number of vitally important substances, in thermoregulation - these are just some of the activities in this laboratory. It is within us and can serve us faithfully as long as we do not destroy it. You have already guessed who this laboratory is - it is the liver.
The most common causes of liver damage are:
Alcohol
This is the most common cause of liver problems. Alcohol use causes fatty deposits in the liver, leading to deterioration of liver function. Scientists' research shows that with insufficient nutrition and abuse of caffeine and sugar, the need for alcohol increases. A diet without tryptophan reduces the amount of serotonin in the body, and it has been proven that the level of serotonin in the brain of alcoholics is lower than normal.
Viruses
They cause infectious hepatitis.
Various chemical substances and some drugs, especially if taken without a doctor's prescription. They cause toxic hepatitis.
Excessive use of sugar and saturated fat and insufficient intake of foods rich in whole nutrients.
Naturopathy Tips:
- Ripe and sweet fruits are the best food for the liver. These, along with pure honey, should replace sweets and artificial sweeteners.
- Vegetables and their juices (especially carrots, beets, cucumbers and cabbage) also have a remarkable healing effect.
- Herbal teas with hepatoprotective and choleretic effects can be taken after consultation with a specialist. The herbs used are dandelion, St. John's wort, yarrow, calendula, willow, etc.
- Fats should be significantly reduced, preferring vegetable fats.
- Proteins should not exceed the established norms for the day from 0.75 to 1.4 g per kilogram of weight, depending on the age and the degree of physical or mental exertion.
- Egg yolks, coffee, cocoa, mushrooms and eggplants often cause bilious crises, strain the liver and should be avoided. This also applies to alcoholic beverages.
- Beans are tolerated differently.
- Chew the food well and observe all the important principles for keeping the stomach in good condition.
- Staying in an unpolluted environment, balneotherapy and breathing exercises are another important component of the natural treatment of these disorders.
