How to enhance your liver function for weight loss.Here are the solutions Imagine your liver is like two soda cans stacked one on top of the other joined by a piece of garden hose. There is another piece of hose entering from the top of the first and another exiting from the bottom of the second. Got a clear picture? Everything that has to be cleaned by your liver will enter the top tube in a fat soluble form and leave the second tube in a water soluble form which can then be excreted. This process is called Bio-Transformation and the detox system is called the Cytochrome P450 system. so if in the future you encounter those terms you will understand them. The problem occurs when this process stars to dysfunction to even a small degree. The first can typically runs too fast, therefore not properly completing its job and then the second runs too slow, which causes a build up toxic material which is then recirculated around your blood stream for up to six times before it is properly metabolized. This is in fact a vary complicated process which takes very serious people using lots of long words, and large flow charts on white boards a great deal of time to explain. In short if your liver is doing this, and it is the case with the majority of my clients then you will not break down fats efficiently and they will end up somewhere you don't want , perhaps on your hips. So what do I do? you ask. Firstly you need to take the load off your liver. i.e. reducing your fat, alcohol and caffeine intake. All of these stress your liver. Add illegal drugs to that list, they make pate of your liver! Pharmaceutical drugs also give it a hard time, but you cannot stop your medications. Did you know that a sluggish liver changes how long your meds take to be processed in the liver. Therefore changing the time frame, and their effectiveness in the way they work in your body. Next you need to support the phase 1 and phase 2 conjugation processes i.e. the soda cans filtering. This is done on two levels. 1. Home available remedies. Green tea, turmeric, ginger and vitamin c rich foods such as citrus fruit and broccoli. Did you know hamsters thrive on broccoli because like humans they can't create their own Vitamin C unlike a dog or a cat! 2. Specific herbal remedies. My favorite herbal combo would include: Dandelion root, St Mary's Thistle, Buplereum and Globe artichoke. 3. Nutritional formulas would need: Cystiene, methonine, inositol, glutamine plus a full complement of B Vitamins. 4. Antioxidant support including: Grape seed extract plus Vitamins A C & E. Most people will experience more energy, clearer thinking and of course the Holy Grail. Better fat burning and a faster metabolism. Resulting in weight loss. This is an important process for anyone who wants to experience good health and wellbeing but of critical importance if you wish to lose weight.
