Love your liver, live longer
Simply put, the liver, which is the second largest organ in the human body, acts as the body’s filter constantly cleansing to protect you from toxins. Optimal liver health, cleansing and detoxification can also help you to lose weight, especially if that has been difficult for you to achieve up until now. Sometimes no matter how many diets a person tries and how hard the exercise, it is almost impossible for them to lose weight. New research has shown that one of the keys to overcoming difficult weight loss is to rejuvenate the liver’s natural detoxification and body cleansing function!
The liver also acts to:
* access the energy we need from proteins, fats, and carbohydrates;
* store vitamins, minerals, and sugars;
* filter the blood, removing all kinds of harmful substances;
* metabolize, helps utilize, and eliminate excess hormones;
* create substances that enhance our immune system (like gamma globulin);
* store extra blood for emergencies;
* act as a blood bank for 20% to 30% of your body’s blood;
* help maintain our electrolyte and water balance;
* help us utilize fat-soluble vitamins (like A, D, E, F, and K);
* control triglycerides, cholesterol, other blood fats and body fat levels;
* create bile, which breaks down fats.
The liver is an amazing work horse! For those of you taking the Bilemin supplement, it is formulated to assist the liver with detoxification and support bile secretion from the gallbladder to support this critically important organ system.
