The body's hidden warning: 5 signs that something is wrong with your liver
|
The liver is one of the hardest working organs in our body, and it does everything it can to keep us healthy.
Every toxic substance we put into the body, the liver does everything to get rid of: its like our own personal cleansing system.
There is a limit to how much this organ can take so it is very important to know this and take care of it, by knowing when it is not working the way it is supposed to work.
Here are five warning signs that your liver needs help.
1. Itching
Itchy skin can come from many reasons but surprisingly one of the reasons is liver problems.
If there is damage to your liver it causes a bile build up in the bloodstream. When the bile duct is blocked, bile returns to the bloodstream. Therefore, there may be build-up under the skin that cause itching.
2. Abdominal pain / Constipation
If you feel bloated after eating often, it may be because your liver is enlarged due to various fats it is unable to handle. If this happens often, it is a sign that your liver is not feeling well, or is suffering from overload.
3. You are tired often
The liver helps cleanse the body of toxins and give it energy, so when the liver is not healthy, its ability to do so is reduced.
If your liver is abnormal, your blood may be a pillar of toxins that prevent your brain from staying sharp and may be suffering from concentration problems.
We all feel tired from time to time, but constant exhaustion is a sign that you should go to the doctor.
4. You gained weight
An occasional sweet or savory snack is fine, and alcohol and fried food, too, but what if we eat it regularly?
When we have a healthy liver it works overtime to process the toxins we put into the body but if our liver is having troubl, our body is unable to digest the food or break down the fats properly.
The result is weight gain and feeling heavy and fatigued.
5. You have blue marks and bleed easily
If you get blue marks easily or bleed easily after a wound, it may be a sign that your liver is not healthy. An unhealthy liver means that the proteins needed to clot your blood are not produced in sufficient quantities.
