Hello friends how are you:
Our topic today: "How to care for and heal your liver"
Welcome to my channel: Ana CONTIGO Liver cancer is on the rise and for
that you have an idea only in the United States the number of deaths from cancer in this organ,
between 2000 and 2016 it increased by approximately 41%.
Worldwide, hepatocellular carcinoma of liver cancer is the second leading
cause of death from cancer due to its high prevalence and the difficulty of treatment.
The researchers warn that by 2030, the global rate of liver cancer will double.
In other diseases related to the liver such as cirrhosis, which is scarring
of the liver and non-alcoholic fatty liver are seen more and more frequently.
Cirrhosis has increased in a very important way among people with ages in the range
that goes between 25 and 34 years old, that is, extremely young.
And what is driving this increase? According to the researchers, the increase
of mortality due to cirrhosis is due exclusively to excessive consumption of alcohol in people
young boys. Cirrhosis that is an irreversible scarring
of the liver can also be caused by obesity, by non-alcoholic fatty liver
and for hepatitis, it can cause fatal liver failure and / or liver cancer.
Food, exercise, our weight, smoking and alcohol consumption
they can also play an important role either in the increase or in the reduction
of the possibilities of developing some form of liver disease, that is our
lifestyle has a lot to do with the health of our liver and with our health
general. Within the group of people who have more
risk are also people suffering from an autoimmune disease,
people who already have a chronic inflammation of the liver and people who have their liver
damaged due to episodes of hepatitis B or C.
The good news is that fortunately, liver damage related to alcohol can
be reversible whenever it is detected on time and if you stop drinking forever.
While alcohol-related cirrhosis is increasing mortality rates,
in the case of liver damage that is not caused by alcohol consumption, the damage
may be driven by excessive sugar consumption, so unfortunately now
you can even see this damage in young children; so imagine the magnitude
of this problem. Liver damage usually does not present
symptoms, although it can cause fatigue, jaundice which is yellowish coloration
of the skin and mucous membranes due to an increase in bilirubin that accumulates in the tissues;
swelling of the legs and abdomen may also occur, mental confusion
and more. If left untreated, it can cause inflammation
of the liver, called non-alcoholic steatohepatitis and can cause liver cancer or failure
hepatic However, in the same way that happens with
Alcohol-related cirrhosis can be reversed in its early stages by carrying
proper nutrition and exercise. The most important thing is that we must eliminate
Processed fructose and other added sugars from our diet.
Fructose affects the liver in very similar ways to how alcohol does.
Unlike glucose, which can be used by virtually all cells
of the body, fructose can only be metabolized by the liver.
As all fructose is transported to our liver, if you consume it in large quantities,
you end up causing the same damage that both alcohol and toxins produce.
The way in which the liver metabolizes fructose is similar to that of alcohol, so they become
in fat and this can not only cause fatty liver but can also cause
Insulin resistance and dyslipidemia that is when we have abnormal levels of fat
in our blood. Excess fructose oxidizes our body
and can cause inflammation. Remember that fructose is also found in
processed foods, one more reason to eat real food.
On the other hand, when your body is exposed to a chronic excess of glucose, of sugars,
these sugars are also finally metabolized into fructose.
Then the first thing we must do is to clean up our diet; the body can learn
to find another source of energy, will start to burn fat as fuel as well
that you will do a huge favor to your liver and your body, it will help you with being overweight
or with excess body fat, eye that although you look thin on the outside, inside
You can be what I call "a skinny fat man", you look thin and that's why you think you're
good and healthy but inside your body composition is not healthy, the important thing is the relationship
that you have between your muscle mass and fat. We can also observe people who are
thin but have belly, fat in the abdomen.
In the description box of this video I'm leaving some interesting links that
They talk about these issues: the one that talks about "Chronic Inflammation"
and the diseases it produces "; the one who talks about "insulin resistance"
and the one that talks about the keys to thin part 1 and 2 "where I deal with the subject of composition
bodily. Below where the description of the video appears
I leave a comment with the links of these videos, select and take you directly
let's see. Also if you open the description where it says "Show More" you will find

That said, we continue; There are herbs, vitamins and some supplement
which are good for the liver, for example: The milk thistle: the milk thistle is a
grass that has been used for thousands of years not only to promote the health of
liver but also for the kidneys and the gallbladder.
It has an active ingredient, a flavonoid, which is called silymarin, which is responsible
of the antioxidant, antiviral and anti-inflammatory effects.
Protects the liver and promotes a healthy function because in addition to other effects
A bit more complicated to explain: • Suppresses cellular inflammation.
• Reduces liver damage caused by various medications and environmental toxins,
such as paracetamol, chemotherapy, psychotropic medications and alcohol.
• Increases glutathione which is a powerful antioxidant that helps with detoxification
of heavy metals and other harmful substances. We also have the supplement called
N-acetylcysteine: Alcohol and paracetamol are two compounds
commons that are metabolized by the liver and that are related to liver damage
because they reduce the glutathione that I just mentioned as a powerful antioxidant.
It is a powerful protector of the liver, this supplement "NAC"; is an alternative for
support liver health in people suffering from hepatitis C and other liver diseases
Chronicles. There is also a vitamin that helps protect
Liver function is the natural form of vitamin B-9, folate.
Increasing your consumption decreases the chances of liver damage occurring
It gives the liver a certain degree of protection against damage and can also
decrease the one that is related to pesticides. On the contrary, having folate deficiency
It can increase the risk of liver cancer. Folate can be found in vegetables
of green leaves like spinach, Swiss chard, on asparagus, Brussels sprouts,
in avocados and especially in broccoli.
However, we must also say that it is recommended to avoid acid supplements
folic because, although it is easily absorbed, the intestines can not convert this form
in the same way they do with folate that comes directly from food; as
the liver is who is responsible for converting it can produce an overexposure if
We consume many vegetables but at the same time we supplement with folic acid.
As I always recommend, it is best to eat varied and real food and in any case
If you need a boost your doctor is the one who should recommend it to you.
And I ask you: like me, do you like to drink coffee?
you'll be glad to know that it seems to have a protective effect against hepatocellular carcinoma
which is a serious form of liver cancer. Drinking a cup of coffee a day reduces the
risk by 20% .; two cups reduce by 35% and five cups by up to 50% clear
Drinking too much can also have negative effects especially if you are pregnant
It might be a good idea to avoid it. It is best to take it black, without milk or sugar
and if it's organic better. Friends understand that all this information
It may be a bit dense to digest, but finally the main message is that for
to have good health we must take great care of our liver, we must consent because
He is one of the main detoxification factories of our body.
If we recharge it with alcohol, processed products that are full of chemicals, food
contaminated with pesticides and if we also consume a lot of sugars, a lot of fructose, we'll have
undesirable results in our health at some time.
Whether you already have a problem with your Liver or not; please be aware,
The damage is reversible if we treat it in time and better if it never occurs.
