❓Always tired?
❓Suffer from digestive issues?
❓How about abdominal pain and discomfort?
These are ALL signs of a sluggish liver… 🐌
The liver is a vital organ that performs numerous functions essential for maintaining homeostasis in the body. When the liver is not functioning optimally, it can manifest various symptoms.
These are some of the most common signs / symptoms that your liver could use a little love! ⤵
👉 Jaundice (Icterus):
Impaired liver function can lead to a buildup of bilirubin, a yellow pigment produced during the breakdown of red blood cells. Normally, the liver processes and excretes bilirubin, but a sluggish liver may struggle with this process.
👉 Fatigue:
The liver plays a crucial role in energy metabolism by converting nutrients into usable forms. A sluggish liver may impact this process, leading to reduced energy production and fatigue.
👉 Abdominal Pain and Discomfort:
Enlargement of the liver or inflammation may result in pressure and discomfort in the abdominal region. Conditions like fatty liver disease or hepatitis can contribute to this symptom.
👉 Digestive Issues:
The liver produces bile, which aids in the digestion and absorption of fats. Impaired liver function can disrupt the production and secretion of bile, leading to digestive issues.
👉 Changes in Bowel Movements:
Liver dysfunction can affect the processing of substances that contribute to bowel regularity. Changes in bile production may influence stool consistency and bowel habits.
👉 Weight Gain:
A sluggish liver can contribute to metabolic imbalances, insulin resistance, and the accumulation of abdominal fat, leading to weight gain.
👉 Fluid Retention (Edema):
Impaired liver function may lead to decreased production of albumin, a protein that helps maintain fluid balance. This can result in fluid retention and swelling in the extremities.
