The Symptoms of an Unhealthy Liver

Your liver is one of the most hardworking organs in your body. Not only is it like a built-in, ultra-effective toxin remover, but it is also responsible for around another five hundred functions. Now that you know just how much your liver does for you, you really need to know when it is crying out for help. 

 

Below you will find six warning signs that your liver is full of toxins. 

 

1. Liver Area Pain

Achiness in the upper-right area of your abdomen is a sign that your liver might be in trouble. Usually, it's a dull ache. However, at times it can become quite intense. Remember that part of the liver's job is to detoxify and help the body, filter out waste, as well as help the body digest food into nutritional products. When your liver is infected with disease it cannot operate efficiently, it swells painfully, and the body gives warning signs using aches.

2. Leg and Ankle Swelling 

If you ignore your liver's cry for help, your poor liver will try to repair itself at the cost of forming scar tissue. The more scar tissue on your liver, the harder it is for the liver to function, which can lead to portal hypertension. This causes fluid to accumulate in the legs. This causes painless swelling that may affect both legs. However, because of gravity, the swelling is most visible in the lower part of the body. 

3. Gaining Weight 

Each year, more and more people exercise more and eat healthily, but they still struggle with their weight. If you experience weight gain that does not seem to stem from a hormone malfunction or overeating, you might want to discuss improper liver function with your doctor. 

What occurs is that the liver cannot cope with all the toxins coming in. Therefore, the only thing it can think of doing is storing the unfiltered toxins in fat cells.

4. Allergies

Very often, allergies are the result of a sluggish and overloaded liver. When there are too many substances in the bloodstream, the brain recognizes them as allergens and releases antibodies and histamines, which cause itchy rashes. A healthy liver is able to clean the blood of all the harmful molecules and decreases the effect that a potential allergen may have on the body. 

5. Yellow Skin and Eyes

When a person's eyes or skin turns yellow, it is known as jaundice. This condition itself is not an illness, but rather a symptom of possible malfunctioning. Normally, jaundice appears when a diseased liver makes the system accumulate too much bilirubin -  a yellowish pigment that forms when dead red blood cells are broken down in the liver. When the liver isn't working well enough to get rid of old blood cells and the bilirubin, you start turning yellow. 

6. Chronic Fatigue 

This is similar to a prolonged flu-like illness. By definition, you need to experience the symptoms for at least 6 months before it can be diagnosed as chronic fatigue. Intoxication of the liver can cause this. The liver, to a large extent, contributes to the energy supply in the body. It helps turn glucose into glycogen and stores it for later use. A healthy liver pours out glucose between meals or whenever there is a need for nourishment and energy. However, a diseased liver produces little glucose and has no space to store it. 

Conclusion

You don't need to despair if you notice the symptoms of a failing liver. Firstly, the liver has an amazing ability to heal itself. All you have to do is give it a break from a destructive lifestyle. Cleansing your liver is all about healthy habits.
Scientists also say that there are a number of natural products that can help boost liver performance. The list includes green tea, lemon water, turmeric, and organic fruits and vegetables.
