The liver is the body\u2019s biological filter responsible for clearing the blood of environmental and dietary toxins. The excessive stress placed on the liver due to over-exposure to air pollution, heavy metals, medication protocols, alcohol, and food additives, damage liver cells creating scar tissue.<\/p>\n
A chronic disease known as cirrhosis develops as scar tissue displaces healthy tissue in your liver. The initial stages of cirrhosis are often unnoticed, and the condition could persist for years before presenting severe symptoms. If left undiagnosed and untreated, the disease turns liver tissue lumpy and hard, reducing blood flow to the portal vein and eventual organ failure.<\/p>\n
Alcohol-related liver disease, viral hepatitis, metabolic syndrome, and nonalcoholic fatty liver disease, are all examples of adverse health conditions associated with the development of liver cirrhosis. There\u2019s no cure for this chronic disease and demands a liver transplant.<\/p>\n
Depending on the stage of cirrhosis, there are steps you can take to mitigate the effects of the disease and its spread. Here are 15 important lifestyle and nutrition tips to discuss with your doctor.<\/p>\n
The primary role of the liver is to clean the blood, produce bile, and store glycogen for metabolic energy. The phytonutrients<\/a> and antioxidant compounds found in specific fruits and vegetables support liver health and optimize its function. Try adding these three fruits and veggies to your diet.<\/p>\n Beets<\/p>\n This tuber contains betaine, which assists the liver\u2019s second wash cycle. During this phase, the organ breaks down homocysteine, a compound that can increase the risk of heart disease. A natural source of lycopene, this fruit inhibits carcinogenesis and cleanses the blood of free-radicals. Additional nutrients include vitamins A, C, and E, which are potent antioxidants and immune boosters, as well as B complex vitamins to aid in liver detoxification.<\/p>\n Lemon<\/p>\n The limonoid antioxidant compounds found in lemon stimulate the digestive bile to clear undigested food particles. These phytochemicals, are particularly abundant in lemons and have an anti-microbial and cleansing effect on the liver.<\/p>\n It\u2019s vital for people who have cirrhosis to increase their fiber<\/a> intake. Fiber sweeps the digestive tract clean and improves digestion, thereby reducing unnecessary stress on the liver. Dark, leafy, green vegetables, such as spinach and kale, contain compounds such as indoles including indole-3-carbinol (I3C) plus isothiocyanates, and di-indolemethane (DIM), derived from glucosinolates.<\/p>\n In 2009 the journal, Nature, published research from Chinese scientists that suggested the isothiocyanates found in kale were observed to reduce the activation of carcinogens.<\/p>\n Cook this cruciferous vegetable before consumption. A popular health trend is the consumption of raw kale in smoothies. However, raw kale increases inflammation of the cell walls in the digestive tract, increasing the chance of gas and the potential for stomach cramps.<\/p>\n Research shows isothiocyanates from kale\u2019s glucosinolates regulate detoxification activities at a cellular level. Add kale and spinach into your diet and benefit from better gut health, and a cleansing effect on the liver that helps the organ deal with cirrhosis.<\/p>\n The body uses Sulphur to properly detoxify substances including pharmaceuticals, heavy metals, and environmental toxins. Dietary sulfur<\/a> is critical because of the body inability to produce its own. Sulfur is a component of glutathione, the antioxidant responsible for maintaining a healthy liver.<\/p>\n Sulfur detoxifies sulfuric acid and other toxic substances drawn into the body from sources of radiation and pollution. Sulfur plays an anti-microbial and anti-bacterial role in the body as well, and it\u2019s found in bile via the amino acid taurine, assisting the body with optimal digestion.<\/p>\n Dietary sources of sulfur include garlic, legumes, eggs, onions, whole grains, sprouts and fermented foods like Kimchi. Add them to your diet to improve liver health and mitigate the effects of cirrhosis.<\/p>\n Take 1,500mg of the sulfur supplement, methylsulfonylmethane, every day in addition to your dietary sulfur sources. Always choose a sulfur supplement from a company or brand with a reliable industry reputation and check with your doctor before adding it to your diet.<\/p>\n
