Demands on the human liver today are at an all-time high and the need to give nutritional and holistic support to the liver has never been greater.
Weighing in at three pounds the liver appears rather plain, but it is incredibly complex. It even has a double circulation system, meaning that it receives blood from both the veins and the arteries. It has to!
First, the main hepatic artery carries in plenty of oxygen from the lungs. This fuels the liver's power station. The portal vein comes right from the small intestine loaded with nutrients.
The human liver performs its role as food inspector, detoxifier, and has the ability to be its own metabolic chemical plant to make new compounds you must have to live. And that includes a capacity to manufacture cholesterol!
Once the absorbed nutrients have been processed by the liver (if the liver is not overburdened or diseased), they are allowed to flow into the body for general circulation.
The human liver also has a storage warehouse, collecting fats and storing glucose fuel in the form of glycogen. Between meals the system tells the liver to release more sugar to maintain the body's energy level. The liver does so by converting either glycogen or fat into glucose, a simple sugar the body burns for energy. All of these processes require plenty of good nutrition---vitamins, minerals, proteins and enzymes.
So when you eat, remember your liver. Eat moderate amounts, a good selection of wholesome foods-and eat in peace.

The Key to Human Liver Detox
The human liver is one of the most complex and miraculous organs. It is our largest vital organ and the most important one for detoxification of the body.
Liver detoxification is the key to keeping the body at its peak with our basic health and digestion: The liver produces enzymes used to neutralize all types of physical toxins; it facilitates digestion and elimination by the release of bile from the gallbladder. It converts ingredients from food for metabolic use, and it stores and releases glycogen for energy.
Due to congestion and backup of bile, the liver becomes enlarged, storing unfiltered toxins within its own cells, while the gallbladder may form stones of bile and cholesterol. This is why an over-burdened human liver is very often the under-lying cause of imbalances in the body.
This central role of the liver and the dangers to its health, are the reasons why most herbalists will insist on clearing liver obstructions and heightening energy in the liver as the very first steps toward better health. In fact, it may be said that the secret of mastering the art of herbalism lies in the various approaches to treating what are basically liver imbalances.

Diet for Fatty Liver and
Herbs for Liver Cleanse
One of the most important things you can do for a fatty liver or any liver disease is pay attention to your diet. First and foremost is to avoid fats and deep fried foods. Since the bile is to digest fats, if the liver is unable to secrete sufficient bile for their digestion, these fats and oils will coat other foods, making them difficult to digest.
Of course as you may already know, there is good fat and bad fat. For instance, olive oil is an excellent fat that will help improve your liver functions. Be sure to include plenty of green vegetable in your diet, lightly steamed or raw. Fermented foods such as yogurt, sauerkraut and pickles (assuming you don't have Candida) are actually good for the liver. Additional aids to the liver include; red beets, zucchini, vegetable broths, black cherry concentrate, lemon water and olive oil. Avoid alcohol, fried and greasy food, food additives and chemicals, keep bowels regular and about all, Forgive and Forget!
