Here are a few things your liver does for your body:
Filters blood
Metabolizes proteins
Stores vitamins and minerals
Metabolizes carbohydrates
Metabolizes fat
Assists in blood clotting
Produces bile
Helps make new blood cells
Your liver helps break down all the parts of foods. Fats, proteins and carbohydrates.
It plays a major role in your metabolism and can halt your weight loss for sure if it’s unhealthy.
Stages of fatty liver:
👉Fatty deposits—a build up of fat in the liver cells
👉Inflammation—liver becomes inflamed
👉Fibrosis—Inflammation over time causes scar tissue to form
👉Cirrhosis—liver fills up with a fibrous tissue that makes it disfunctional.
When the liver swells up from inflammation or fat deposits, it can put pressure on the heart and create heart arrhythmias, irregular heartbeat, high blood pressure, and other heart related complications.
The liver can completely regenerate as long as 25% of the liver tissue exists, but it takes a long time for it to happen. It’s not an overnight fix. It may take months or even years depending on what stage of fatty liver you are in.
If you drink, it can take up to 4 days for the liver to recover from it. So if you drink regularly, it will likely be impossible to fully regenerate your liver. Drinking very rarely or not at all is the best and most important factor in helping the liver regenerate.
To reverse fatty liver you’ll want to eliminate the things that destroy the liver and replace them with things that restore the liver.
