The liver plays a huge role in maintaining the health of the body, performs the functions of detox.

“The liver is a very comfortable organ: in a normal situation, it does not require attention, it does not need to be trained, like, for example, the heart. But there comes a time when you need to start taking care of her, ”the expert says.
The liver suffers when we gain excess weight. With obesity, fatty degeneration often develops. It is enough to normalize the body weight, and the liver also returns to normal.

Alcohol harms the liver more than anything else. The final stage is cirrhosis.

The abuse of trans fats, which are very abundant in our food (fast food, hamburgers, hydrolyzed vegetable oil, french fries, margarine) also affects the liver and its functions.

Refined foods that lend themselves to serious industrial processing should also be removed from your daily diet. It is a mistake to think that only alcohol harms the liver.
