One of its key functions is to act as a gatekeeper by filtering toxins and unknown substances from the bloodstream, breaking them down, and helping them find their way out of the body.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are both voluntary and involuntary invaders that your liver has to contend with. Some of the toxic substances it encounters are actually produced within your body. These include excess hormones, neurotransmitters and other metabolic waste products. Other toxic substances come from your environment \u2014 what you eat, what you breathe and even what you put on your skin.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Functional Nutrition 101: Understanding the liver\u2019s role in digestion<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When it comes to digestion, the liver creates enzymes and hormones that are critical for metabolism. In fact, as soon as you take your first bite of food the liver is triggered to produce enzymes that will break that food down into smaller particles that can easily move through your gastrointestinal tract and be absorbed into your bloodstream to feed your cells.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Macronutrients and the livers actions:<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Each macronutrient requires different actions from the liver. Just think about how hard your liver is working everyday to keep up with your intake!<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Carbohydrate digestion and your liver<\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Carbohydrates divide into glucose in the digestive tract. Those glucose molecules move into your bloodstream where they\u2019re used as your body\u2019s primary source of energy. All blood then moves to the liver for filtration. Any excess glucose, not used for immediate energy, is stored as glycogen in the liver. The liver can then convert the glycogen (the storage form of glucose) back to glucose in times of need.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Protein digestion and your liver<\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Protein breakdown occurs in the stomach and the small intestine. The end products are amino acids and other byproducts that are converted into enzymes by the liver. These enzymes are responsible for the chemical transformation of the toxic byproducts that come from the breakdown of proteins and prepare them for elimination through the kidneys.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Fat digestion and your liver<\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The breakdown of your dietary fat depends on the bile created by your liver and stored in your gallbladder. The liver manages fat levels in the blood all day long. Dietary cholesterol and triglycerides are absorbed into the bloodstream and processed by the liver for delivery to the cells.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Natural detoxification and digestion are only some of the jobs of this multitasking organ!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><\/strong><\/p>\n<h4><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Appreciating your liver<\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It stands to reason that at least occasionally you need to pamper your liver. Love it. Give it some extra attention. Say thank you to your liver for all that it does for you. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Unfortunately your liver won\u2019t appreciate a simple Hallmark card.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Our top 10 Functional Nutrition tips to love your liver<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Not sure where to start with your liver love?

Doesn\u2019t that sound good? I love the idea of liver massage as much as my liver appreciates the lovin\u2019. It\u2019s gentle and effective and anyone, any age, can do it. I\u2019m preparing to wrap my liver in some love with castor oil, washcloths and hot water bottles this coming week.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This protocol of massaging and oiling the liver is called a <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com\/fxna\/misc\/pdf\/FxNA-Castor-Oil-Pack.pdf\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">castor oil pack<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. It\u2019s a great way to love your liver and boost its productivity. Castor oil\u2014massaged on the liver region, located beneath the right rib cage\u2014can penetrate the skin to increase circulation, promote elimination and enhance the healing and rejuvenation of the cells beneath the surface. It\u2019s remarkably effective, if not a little sticky.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I invite you to give it a try too. All you need is some castor oil, an old washcloth and a hot water bottle.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Quick Health Advisory:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> If using a castor oil pack is new for you try it for a short time at first. Castor oil packs work well for most, but everyone is unique and responds differently.
