FATTY LIVER DISEASE

Many health experts believe fatty liver disease could become THE health crisis of the next 5 to 10 years.

The number of children with fatty liver has doubled in the past 20 years.

If you have two or more of the following symptoms, you could be one of the 100 million Americans suffering from a sick, toxic liver. Brain fog, jaundice, fatigue, weight gain, sugar cravings, digestive discomfort, hormonal issues, mood swings, or anger and rage.  The good news is your liver is the only organ with the ability to generate new cells and regrow itself.

To regenerate your liver, consider liver cleansing. Foods that enhance liver detoxification are beets, broccoli sprouts, parsley, turmeric and pomegranates. Drink more water. Do intermittent fasting.

Specific for fatty liver, consider taking lecithin, or phosphatidyl serine, which is a component of lecithin. Lecithin is a fat emulsifier.
