Our liver is one of the most important detoxifying organs in the body and performs a lot of hard work every day. It’s no wonder that over time it can become overloaded. If your liver cannot convert toxins into safe waste, they “wait” in your fat tissue to be expelled from your body once your liver is functioning normally again.
There are several signs that your liver is overloaded
We’ll give you the 5 main ones. Watch for them so you notice in time when your liver starts sending you warning signals.
1. Poor memory
If the liver is overloaded, it cannot properly filter the blood.
As a result, toxins can reach the brain.
When that happens, you may notice symptoms such as confusion, memory problems and difficulty making decisions.
2. Low blood sugar
Your liver is also responsible for maintaining normal blood sugar levels.
The liver normally needs to process and produce glucose after a meal. But if an overloaded liver cannot release stored glucose into the bloodstream, your blood glucose level drops significantly.
Low blood sugar causes fatigue, irritability and an inability to concentrate.
3. Mood changes
Your mood and memory depend on the condition of your brain. When toxins reach the brain, you can have memory problems and frequent mood swings.
Anxiety and depression are also associated with poor liver health.
If you notice such symptoms, it’s best to consult a specialist and undergo a medical examination.
4. Hormonal imbalance
The liver also regulates our sex hormones.
A dysfunctional liver can be the cause of imbalances in estrogen and testosterone levels.
Which can ultimately lead to serious problems, such as decreased libido and worsening PMS symptoms.
5. Immune system disorders
Those who often suffer from colds and other viral infections are often mistakenly convinced that the main cause is a lack of vitamin C.
But few people know that the liver plays an important role in building a strong immune system.
That means that the healthier your liver is, the better it fights viruses and bacteria.
