Doctor Pavel Isanbaev listed products that quickly and without harm to health normalize liver function. They contain taurine.
The liver is one of the most important organs in the body, performing a wide range of functions. An unhealthy organ entails many problems.
Modern lifestyle is not conducive to liver health and causes it to work hard: inactivity, chronic stress, highly processed food, addiction to alcohol, uncontrolled use of medications.
Therefore, it is important to help the liver recover.
—By adding foods rich in taurine (a derivative of the amino acid cysteine) to your diet, a person helps the liver synthesize bile acids, noted Isanbaev.
Taurine is involved in the digestion of fats and helps remove excess cholesterol. In addition, it has the ability to fight fatty liver disease.
Foods rich in taurine:
- Meat, especially beef< /li>
- Fish such as tuna, salmon and sardines contain high levels of taurine. Oysters and shrimp are also rich in it.
- Milk and dairy products
- Eggs, especially the yolk.
- Beans.
Liver function in the body:
1. The liver is involved in metabolism, including processing carbohydrates, fats and proteins. It helps maintain stable blood glucose levels, stores vitamins and minerals, and synthesizes bile acids necessary for digestion.
2. The liver acts as a filter, clearing the blood of toxins, metabolic waste, and drugs. It is also involved in the destruction and removal of old red blood cells from the blood.
3. The liver synthesizes many proteins, including albumin and clotting factors.
4. Produces bile, which is necessary for digestion and absorption of fats. It also stores bile and releases it into the intestines as needed.
5. Plays an important role in the metabolism of drugs. It breaks down and converts drugs so that they can be eliminated from the body.
6. The liver is involved in the processing and metabolism of various hormones, such as insulin, glucagon and sex hormones.
