As known, the liver is the "natural laboratory" of our body that performs many functions. Detoxification of toxins that enter the human body (alcohol, poisonous substances, medications, etc.) occurs in the liver. The liver plays a very important role in the circulatory processes, participates in the metabolism of proteins, fats, carbohydrates, vitamins, minerals, and hormones. This is far from a complete list of what the liver does in our body. Bile accumulates in the gallbladder, and during meals, it is released into the intestines through bile ducts. This process is essential not only for digestion but also for the absorption of nutrients from everything we consume. This is far from everything!
TOP-7 interesting facts about the liver:
- Our liver has an extraordinary ability for self-renewal - regeneration.
- Since the food we consume doesn't contain enough protein for the proper functioning of our body, the liver produces its own protein.
- The liver contains a large amount of iron, which it consistently supplies to the body.
- The liver performs an immunological function through macrophages - special cells that protect the entire body from various types of infections.
- The liver warms the body during a decrease in body temperature, and also prevents it from rising above 37 degrees, thereby ensuring normal vital functions.
- The liver's function is connected to the brain's activity. It regulates the levels of glucose and ammonia.
- According to British scientists, the liver can function normally for over 300 years, considering its regenerative ability.
But over the years, the liver can no longer perform all of its functions. Overall, this is related to the fact that every day a person encounters various factors that primarily harm liver cells (hepatocytes). These include consumption of harmful foods (fatty, spicy, smoked), taking medications, alcohol, pollution of the environment, and so on.
How to understand whether you have liver problems or not? Firstly, the liver problems manifest themselves with a feeling of heaviness in the right hypochondrium, a bitter taste in the mouth, and poor overall well-being. Many people do not take these symptoms seriously, considering them coincidences or random disruptions in the body's functioning. However, prolonged stress on the liver, intoxication, and poisoning can lead to serious complications and disruptions in the functioning of our body's "natural laboratory."
What to do in such a case? Of course, focus on your health! For this purpose, nature has provided us with everything necessary – medicinal plants that have healing properties for many ailments, including those related to liver dysfunction.
For example:
- Andrographis paniculata extract enhances the liver cells' resistance to damage from toxic substances due to its antioxidant effect.
- Picrorhiza kurroa extract also protects the liver from damaging factors, promotes the strengthening of its detoxification function, reduces the accumulation of fats in liver cells, and facilitates recovery after the toxic effects of medications and alcohol.
- Piper longum extract enhances the absorption of bioactive substances and improves the processes of liver cell regeneration.
