The liver undoubtedly plays an important role in the functioning of our body, but it is not given enough attention until symptoms appear.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"imHeading2\">How much &#8220;poison&#8221; do you put into your liver every day?<\/h2>\n<p>Throughout our lives, our bodies are exposed to countless factors that damage the liver.  These include certain medications, chemicals, preservatives, and even alcohol.  When we indulge in pleasure, we can easily forget about the long-term consequences.  Excessive alcohol consumption and artificial substances in processed foods can also seriously damage our liver.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"imHeading2\">Why don&#39;t we pay more attention to our liver?<\/h2>\n<p>Simply because there are no specific symptoms of liver dysfunction, and if there are, it may be a more serious problem.  Although our liver is unique among our organs in that it has an incredible ability to regenerate, we are better at preventing and treating problems.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"imHeading2\">How can we better protect our liver?<\/h2>\n<p>For example using <span class=\"fs14lh1-5\"><b>St. John&#39;s wort<\/b><\/span>, which was used for this purpose already at the end of the 19th century.  St. John&#39;s wort protects the liver in three ways:<\/p>\n<div class=\"imTAJustify\">\n<ul>\n<li>It stabilizes and strengthens liver cell membranes, which prevents the penetration of toxins.<\/li>\n<li>Neutralizes free radicals as an effective antioxidant.<\/li>\n<li>It supports protein synthesis, stimulates the production of liver cells, accelerates the regeneration of damaged liver tissue and the replacement of dead cells.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"imTAJustify\"><span class=\"imTALeft fs14lh1-5\">Unfortunately, St. John&#39;s wort should not be used in the summer months, when we spend more time in the sun, because it may lead to photo allergies and even burns.<\/span><span class=\"fs14lh1-5\">  However, it is often in the summer that our liver needs increased support due to the larger amount of food consumed, especially grilled food.  A proven choice will be, for example, a dietary supplement <\/span><span class=\"fs14lh1-5\"><b>LiverAid<\/b><\/span><span class=\"fs14lh1-5\">which contains sulfur-containing amino acids that increase the liver&#39;s ability to heal itself, and liver-supporting chromium. <\/span><span class=\"fs14lh1-5\"><b>LiverAid<\/b><\/span><span class=\"fs14lh1-5\">  also supplements the diet, among others:  in choline, milk thistle seed extract (standardized 80% silymarin, standardized 30% silybin), which, as research confirms, has a beneficial effect on liver function and supports digestion and cleansing the body.<\/span><\/div>\n<p><h2 class=\"imHeading2\">What other products can be used for the liver?<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Currently, over 500 vital functions of the liver are known, the main of which are detoxification and the breakdown and&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":7239,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[477,223,478],"class_list":["post-10942","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-calivita","tag-liver","tag-liver-aid","tag-st-johns-wort"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/vitashop.info\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10942","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/vitashop.info\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/vitashop.info\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/vitashop.info\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/vitashop.info\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=10942"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/vitashop.info\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10942\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/vitashop.info\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/7239"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/vitashop.info\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=10942"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/vitashop.info\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=10942"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/vitashop.info\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=10942"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
