Avocado as a Protection Versus Liver Problems

Think of it this way, the more we eat the more we inflict damage to our liver and ultimately to our selves. The liver has a big job to do, as many as 500 jobs known to science. But to make it simple, the liver is the one that processes nutrients, stores glucose, minerals and vitamins the body needs to function.

It also acts as a filter, transforming toxic substances to make it less toxic and water soluble so it can be easily removed from the body as urine. But in order for the liver to do its job, it needs help. Minerals, antioxidants such as beta-carotene, glutathione and Vitamins C and E, phytochemicals and amino acids are all key players in helping the liver work.

The liver words double hard every time we eat bad or junk foods.

Like other parts of our body, the Liver continually produce Liver cells to replace old ones. The reproduction of such cells in children is strong that’s why they are not yet prone to Liver decease. But as we mature the liver gradually weakens and needs a steady supply of glutathione so that it could keep up with our daily activities. It has been researched that the avocado fruit contains high concentration of glutathione which the liver needs.

The application of avocado to uplift the liver and the body is immense. Also in a recent study avocado extracts can be used to treat viral hepatitis.

Pizza, burger and fries may taste good, but it’s hard on our livers. We may not feel its negative effects now, but time will come that it will catch up on us. It’s about time we think little about the nutrients of the food we eat, not just how it tastes like.
