The liver is an organ that performs more than 500 functions, including the role of detoxification. However, if the liver is overloaded, the body will issue clear warning signs. Here are 5 common symptoms that medical experts recommend paying attention to:
1. Prolonged fatigue, loss of energy
According to the Cleveland Clinic - one of the leading non-profit hospital systems in the US, poisoned liver can reduce energy metabolism, making the body always feel tired and lethargic despite adequate rest.
2. Golden skin, yellow eyes
This is a sign of the buildup of bilirubin a bile pigment that the liver cannot process when it is impaired in function. Mayo Clinic - a globally famous research and health care hospital located in Minnesota (USA), considers this a clinical manifestation of serious liver disease.
3. Digestive disorders, bloating, indigestion
The liver participates in the production of honey to aid digestion. When the liver is weak, the patient often experiences bloating, nausea, and poor appetite.
4. Itchy skin, rashes of unknown cause
American Liverpool Foundation - a leading non-profit organization in the US specializing in raising awareness and supporting liver patients, said that damaged liver can cause toxins to build up under the skin, causing itching and rashes for a long time.
5. Breathing badly despite good oral hygiene
This condition can come from the liver not being able to filter am am am am am ammoniac - a waste product for protein metabolism, leading to bad breath (hepatic fetor).
If you have 2 of the above signs, you should have your liver function checked and consider adjusting your diet, lifestyle, and consult your doctor for a suitable detox regimen.
