While modern life has reduced the movement a lot, it has increased the frequency and amount of eating. Like all mammals, we store excess calories in our internal organs, and this is not good for us.<\/em><\/h5>


Our new style of living is associated with many diseases such as fatty liver, diabetes, hypertension and so many more\u2026On\u202ftop of that, we, humans,\u202fadd alcohol and the use of drugs. We are pushing the limits of even an organ that has a\u202freally\u202fhigh endurance like the liver which turns out an enlarged liver.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

Perhaps many of us haven’t thought about the liver except the morning after drinking a bit too much alcohol.\u202f\u202f<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

But many of us have signs of liver dysfunction including hormonal symptoms, high<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>cholesterol, pre-diabetes, gastrointestinal symptoms but have never connected that the root cause may be the liver<\/span>\u00a0until we feel the liver pain when the time it actually screams.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

To be more specific\u2026 20 to 30% of the general population in the western world will contract non-alcoholic fatty liver disease.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Fatty liver is the build-up of fat in the liver, from storing extra energy (overeating and overweight), insulin resistance, type 2 diabetes, rapid weight loss, taking certain drugs, or being exposed to some toxic elements.<\/p>

Yes, I\u2019m telling you that you can also be the one walking around with a fatty liver and it doesn\u2019t have to be caused by alcohol. It is a result of our all lifestyle choices besides alcohol consumption, such as malnutrition, and inactivity.

Furthermore, you may have signs of liver dysfunction including hormonal symptoms, high cholesterol, prediacetes, gastrointestinal symptoms, but have never connected that the root cause may be the liver.\u00a0That\u2019s\u202fnot ALL!\u202f\u202f<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

The liver has a major role to play when it comes to managing emotions. It has been linked to several emotions like anger, resentment, frustration, irritability and bitterness.\u202f\u202f<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

One of the biggest threats to our liver health is toxins we encounter in food, air, and household products. When our liver is focused on trying to eliminate these toxins from the body, it detracts from\u202fits\u202fjob of clearing excess hormones. This can lead to serious hormonal imbalances that can have a wide range of effects.\u202f\u202fIt results in an abnormal emotional activity such as low mood\/energy especially in the morning, anxiety, chronic fatigue, anger issues and even loss of sex drive.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
