The Liver And Bile Formation
Let's look at
what the liver does in slightly more detail.
As a vital part of your digestive system, the liver secretes bile,
without which you cannot digest fats. Faulty fat digestion can lead
to associated problems with digestion in general, affecting
proteins and carbohydrates as well as the fats.
How can you tell whether this
is happening? If you find that fatty foods disagree with you, make
you feel nauseous or even bloated, this may be your problem. You
may also find that your stools are pale in colour, since the colour
comes from the bile pigments, or that they float or, in severe
cases, that there is obvious fat in them and they stick to the pan
and become difficult to flush away.
Bile also stimulates the
peristaltic action of both your small and large intestine and thus
helps to prevent constipation. This in turn helps to prevent a
number of other intestinal problems, and to reduce the formation
and absorption of several different toxins.
It helps to prevent candidiasis, since having the proper movement
along the intestines reduces the risk of developing an environment
in which the candida mould can flourish.
Bile helps to prevent allergic, or food sensitivity, reactions
within the intestinal tract and so can reduce such problems as
gastritis, spastic colon and irritable bowel syndrome, all of which
can be due to food sensitivities.
Being constipated can lead to great pressure at the end of the
colon, particularly when you try to pass a bowel motion, and this
is a common cause of haemorrhoids.
If all that
isn't enough, by maintaining a healthy internal environment,
proper peristaltic action and liver bile function can help to
reduce the risk of bowel cancer.
When you are constipated a number of toxins can build up in the
digestive tract and become absorbed into the bloodstream. They then
have to be dealt with by the liver in its role as a detox
organ.
If your liver does not deal with them your body will try to get rid
of them in other ways. This may result in or aggravate skin
problems as you try to eliminate them through the pores. It may put
an excessive load on your kidneys. You will almost certainly find
grey circles under your eyes and white fatty deposits in tissues
such as the skin under your eyes and on your limbs. If all else
fails you may store the toxins in your adipose tissues.
These are then
reluctant to break down, as the toxins would be released, and so
weight loss becomes difficult. Toxins in the digestive tract can
move back up the system leading to bad breath, in which case no
amount of brushing your teeth and spraying with mouth deodorisers
will solve the problem; it's your liver you need to work on.
In fact an unhealthy liver can cause a whole range of problems
related to indigestion from top to bottom.
Once bile has been produced by the liver, it is stored in the gall
bladder, which then secretes it as necessary. If the liver has not
done a good job, or if you have not, in your diet, supplied it with
the correct raw materials, the composition of the bile may be less
than optimum.
This can lead to the formation of
gallstones, small accretions that build up within the gall bladder,
reducing both its ability to store bile and to secrete it
appropriately. These stones may be made either of calcium salts, in
which case they can be detected by X-rays, or of cholesterol. The
latter stones are often missed, unless an ultrasound is being done
for some other reason, as they may exist for a long time without
causing obvious symptoms.
This is unfortunate, as they can still be causing problems and, as
with all health problems, the sooner you stop doing whatever caused
the problem and start doing things to help fix it, the
better.
