The problem is, many people don’t have full liver function—especially after their 50s. You could therefore be suffering from the effects of a “fatty liver” Quite simply, it means that if your liver isn't functioning at 100%, you have ZERO chance of being healthy. You don’t need to be drinking alcohol to have these symptoms! This is because because a fatty liver causes inflammation, which impairs your liver's ability to carry out its hundreds of jobs in your body. So instead of your liver clearing out toxins, it starts to poison you. Instead of breaking down fats and assisting your metabolism, it begins to store fat, making it virtually impossible to lose weight and instead of clearing your blood of harmful substances, it allows them to thrive and multiply.
A fatty liver can also be one of the causes of hot flashes. Your liver’s purpose is not only to detoxify chemicals, poisons, heavy metals, and excess hormones, a healthy liver will excrete hormones rather than recycle them which causes excess heat in the body.
In short, your fatty liver is robbing you of your health and making it virtually impossible for you to lose weight, feel great and enjoy your life. The liver plays an absolutely crucial in weight loss. One of your liver's main jobs is to break down fat and turn it into energy, but when it's not functioning properly, it simply can't handle the excess fat and sugar coming at it, which results in fat piling up in all the wrong places all over your body. This makes the task of losing weight almost impossible.
The more your liver is impaired, the unhealthier you become, and the more likely you are to contract a wide range of life-threatening diseases, such as liver failure, heart attacks, stroke, diabetes, cancer, and much more. If there is one organ we should be looking after its our liver but most of us don’t. In fact, the typical modern diet - which is full of processed foods, chemicals, sugar and alcohol - has led to alarming rates of obesity, and is the number one reason for the surge in cases of “fatty liver”.
Essentially with a “fatty Liver”, your liver becomes full of fat, inflamed and enlarged, and can no longer do its job properly.
You can improve liver function by:
• Consume cruciferous vegetables (or DIM)
• Taking calcium D-glucarate and milk thistle
• Detoxing the liver
All of the programs at “ReadytoGlow” offer focus on cleansing the liver using nutrition and naturopathic techniques if necessary. Therefore the end result is not just about weight loss but also works on reducing inflammation in the body and decreasing the risk of other diseases associated with the second half of our lives.
