The liver is incredible. Most people think of it as a filter, but filters are physical barriers that accumulate junk and have to be cleaned. The liver isn't a filter. It's a chemical processing plant. Rather than sit there, passively receiving, filtering out, and storing undesirable compounds, the liver encounters toxic chemicals and attempts to metabolize them into less-toxic metabolites that we can handle. It oxidizes the toxins, preparing them for further modification It converts the toxins to a less-toxic, water-soluble version that's easier to excrete It excretes the toxins through feces or urine Bam. It's an elegant process, provided everything is working well back there. And it's not the only process it controls. The liver is the primary site of cholesterol synthesis and disposal. It creates cholesterol as needed and converts excess into bile salts for removal via the bile duct. The liver also plays a huge role in the burning of fat for energy, the storage of vitamin A, the metabolism of hormones, and the regulation of blood sugar. If you enjoy burning ketones, you can thank the liver because that's where they're produced. The liver supports full-body health, in other words. If it isn't working correctly, nothing is. Everything starts to fall apart. How do we support the liver? It's not one thing we do. It's many things. It's nutrition, supplementation, lifestyle, sleep — everything. It's also the things we don't do. The stakes are high, you see. Whenever there's a grand overarching orchestrator regulating dozens of different processes in the body, you must protect it from multiple angles. A lot can go wrong. Or right, depending on how you look at it. Since the liver is "hidden away" and you can't really "feel" it, you may not give it too much thought. When you're overweight, you know it. When your fitness is suffering, you consciously experience it. When your liver is overburdened or suffering, you don't necessarily know it. That's where doing the right things for the sake of doing them comes in handy. So, what should you do to maintain pristine liver health? Stay on track no matter where you are. Instantly download your Primal and Keto Guide to Eating Out 11 Ways to Maintain a Healthy Liver Liver health depends on steps you take toward a healthy lifestyle, and equally as important, the things you refrain from doing. Here are some things you can to to contribute to lifelong liver health: Reduce linoleic acid intake Reduce refined carb intake Reduce alcohol intake Stop overeating, and lose weight Practice time-restricted eating Eat fatty fish and get omega-3s Eat egg yolks and other choline sources Take NAC Take whey protein Regularly deplete your liver glycogen Get good, regular sleep Reduce Linoleic Acid Intake When a patient can't eat, they get something called parenteral nutrition — a direct infusion of nutrients into the gut. The classic parenteral nutrition consists of an emulsion of olive oil and soybean oil. It's very rich in linoleic acid and typically leads … Continue reading "All About the Liver, and How to Support Your Favorite Detoxification Organ"
