Alcohol and your Liver Health

If you enjoy a few beers, spirits or if you like wine, it’s a good idea to look after your liver and keep it in good shape.

Here is some information that could be interesting for you and help you see why, throughout my site, I advise strongly against using painkillers after a night out drinking and promote all the natural hangover cures instead so the liver doesn't work too hard or get damaged.

What is the liver and why is liver health so important?

This all important organ acts as a cleanser filter for our body.

As well as storing glycogen, producing hormones and decomposing red blood cells, it plays an important part in the metabolising and breaking down of chemicals and toxins in our body, and this includes alcohol and drugs, legal or illegal.

Many people have heard their liver can be affected adversely when drinking too much alcohol or eating the wrong foods.

If you don't eat very well, eat too much junk food, drink too much coffee and soda and get drunk regularly without taking care, there’s a strong chance yours is like that of an old drunk's.

Watch out, evidence suggests an unhealthy liver can give you bad breath, indigestion, abdominal bloating, constipation, bad skin, make men impotent! Arrggh. Stop it now!!!!

Detox your liver

If you've been overdoing it, partying too hard and eating the wrong kinds of foods, it's probably a good idea to help your liver out. It needs a good friend!

Liver Detoxifier has plenty of silymarin (from milk thistle) and cysteine (found in eggs) to get you detoxed quickly.
