Xandria's
Liver
Cleanse - The
Liver Detox Plan
You will find in the Liver
Detox Plan that there are many suggestions that will
reduce your risk of getting gallstones and related
problems.
If you have had your gall bladder removed you should still
consider the suggestions given, for several reasons. First your
liver still does have to produce bile and second, some people
find that, almost as if in compensation for the missing
bladder, pouches develop in which bile can accumulate and new
stones can form. If you had your gall bladder removed but still
get some of your old symptoms, then clearly your liver and
digestion still need some attention.
So far we have covered the digestive tract, let's now look at
the role of your liver in processing the food you have
eaten.
The Liver And
Protein
Let's take one example. You
eat protein, chicken protein for instance.
In the digestive tract it is broken down into individual amino
acids. These amino acids go to the liver where they are
recombined in a form that is suitable for the human body, into
a human protein.
This may be in the
form of tissue proteins, needed for your muscles, organs such
as your heart and kidneys, blood vessel walls and so forth. It
may be proteins such as the immunoglobulins that are part of
your immune system, or proteins that are part of your endocrine
system, protein hormones, such as insulin that affects your
blood sugar level, glucagon that affects sugar levels and
energy, or calcitonin that affects bone calcium levels.
Or the amino acids may be used to make amino acid derivatives
that act as neuro-transmitters such as serotonin, or hormones
such as thyroxine or adrenaline.
Not only that, but if there
is too much of one type of amino acid and not enough of another
then your liver can convert the spare amounts of the first
amino acid into the required amount of some types of the
partially deficient ones.
The Liver And
Hormones
Imbalances of oestrogen,
progesterone and testosterone can cause a variety of problems
including PMT, difficult periods and menopause, and sexual
dysfunction.
