The amazing organ is our liver.It is a natural filter that is not only able to purify the blood from toxins, but it can also participate in its synthesis. Surgeons do not get tired of wondering - how is it possible that the liver after the removal of the affected part could recover through time to its former size. And how can the donor tissue, applied to the liver cut, fully take root?
To keep this "factory for cleaning", it is important to monitor your diet and eat foods useful for the liver. In this case, it is worth refraining from what might be harmful to her.
We list the products useful for the liver:
- Carrots, beets - rich in beta-carotene and flavonoids, which can not only fully feed the liver tissue, but also significantly accelerate the purification process.
- Grapefruit - vitamin C and antioxidants contained in this fruit, normalize the purification processes of the liver. Grapefruit juice is very useful.
- Green tea - thanks to catechins (plant antioxidants), dangerous toxins are excreted from the body.
- Apples - are rich in such substance, as pectin.Together with other valuable chemicals, it makes the liver work more efficient and helps to unload it in the process of purification. Apples can rightfully be classified as "products useful to the liver."
- Vegetable oil produced bycold pressing. Such oil (linseed, hemp, olive), adsorbing toxins, relieves the load from the liver, provided that the oil is used in a reasonable amount.
- Lime and lemon stimulate liver activity and improve well-being.
- White cabbage is a simple vegetable, but it is very “friendly” with the liver. And fresh, and sauerkraut, and stewed cabbage helps the liver to work without interruption.
What does not love the liver?
Although many try to eat foods that are only useful, for the liver, as we know, more important is not the food, but the lifestyle of a person.
- The abuse of alcoholic beverages has a disastrous effect on her condition. Alcohol destroys the cells of this important organ.
- Smoking destroys the liver, as it is unable to cope with the large number of poisons that enter the blood.
- Fried and fatty foods cause the liver to work with a large overload. As a result, the risk of developing cirrhosis of the liver increases.
- Chronic starvation deprives the liver of the nutrients it needs and makes it defenseless against infections.
- The use of semi-finished products and synthetic components inhibit the self-cleaning function of the liver.
Doctors have reported that the main factor leading tocirrhosis is considered to be a disease of various kinds of hepatitis, which has now become the epidemic. Hepatitis B and C can afflict a person under unexpected circumstances. Chronic hepatitis causes cirrhosis of the liver.
