Foundations for a Healthy Liver: The do's and don't of liver care.
The Don'ts....
The Don'ts....
- Avoid excessive alcohol consumption. Many folks underestimate how much alcohol they consume per week. Dr Javid Abdelmoneim produced an excellent documentary "The Truth About Alcohol" (which is available for viewing on Netflix and Amazon Prime Video. It illustrates the denial phenom of alcohol consumption! Tracking his own consumption and interviewing researchers and drinkers of all ages, this film sheds light on what is perhaps the number self medication tool!
- Avoid consuming JUNK FOOD. I believe we all know what junk food is! Fried foods, foods that contain trans fats, highly processed foods, white bread, pastas, crackers, chips, processed cheese, GMO foods, frozen meals, processed meats such as hot dogs, bologna, salami, ice cream (especially those with added fillers, gums, corn syrup, artificial flavors, etc..).
- Don't undertake fad diets, extreme detoxes, HGC Weight Loss Programs
- Overworking....exhaustion makes a goods night's sleep impossible. A rested body is able to detox properly. Our body uses more energy to sleep than it does in your waking hours!
- Overconsumption of caffeine is hard on the liver. Add all the sugar of the coffee barista shops and you're doing even more damage.

Understanding your liver, it's many functions and the role it plays in detoxification:
- The liver is an essential organ of the body that performs over 500 vital functions.
- Produces albumin a protein that keeps fluids in the bloodstream from leaking into surrounding tissue.
- It also transports hormones, vitamins, and enzymes through the body.
- Produces bile a fluid that is critical to the digestion and absorption of fats in the small intestine.
- Filters the blood removing toxins, byproducts, and other harmful substances.
- The liver makes sure amino acid levels in the bloodstream remain healthy.
- Regulates blood clotting coagulants using vitamin K.
- As part of the filtering process, the liver also removes bacteria from the bloodstream.
- The liver stores significant amounts of vitamins A, D, E, K, and B12, as well as iron and copper.
- Control glucose (sugar) levels removing excess from the bloodstream, stores it as glycogen. Which it will release when needed.
