Proper liver function is absolutely essential for a healthy body and improved digestion. The liver processes the blood from the digestive tract, removing toxins and other impurities before the blood cycles out to the rest of the body. The liver also produces bile which is stored in the gallbladder (which rests under the liver) and is essential for fat digestion. The two organs are jointly responsible for a well balanced healthy body.
Any irregularity, congestion or toxic buildup in the liver can leave you with symptoms of feeling far less than your best. Buildup of fats and toxins in the liver can be responsible for a whole host of symptoms that a liver cleanse may help.
Liver problems can lead to a variety of unpleasant symptoms. You may start to notice one or more of the symptoms below if your liver becomes toxic, fibrous, fatty, or scarred. Symptoms of an unhealthy liver include:
- Running out of energy in the afternoon
