You might don’t know, but liver is the largest organ in our body. It plays a vital role in filtering the blood that comes from the digestive tract.
On an average, liver receives 30% of the blood that circulates through our body. So you can say that liver is the organ working hard in our body. Hence, it is prone to several toxins that may harm its functionality and work.
Therefore, it is important for us to take proper care of our liver. As liver’s main job is to convert toxins into healthy waste, it is necessary for you to forbid your liver from any harmful chemicals because if these toxins are converted, it may harm your liver to a great extent.
Here are some signs that say your liver is full of toxins
#1 Liver Pain
This is the first sign you experience when your liver is full of toxins. Depending on how much toxin is in your liver, the pain can increase or become unbearable. The pain is the liver’s way of indicating the brain that it is suffering from a disease and its functions are compromised.
#2 Swollen Ankles and Legs
If you ignore your unhealthy liver, it will try to cure itself by forming scar tissue.
However, if the scar tissue keeps forming, it will force the liver to not function properly. This will lead to increased blood pressure in the portal veins and this, in turn, will cause fluids to pile up in your legs making them swollen and inflamed.
#3 Weight Gain
If you are unnecessarily gaining weight without knowing the source then it is the sign that your liver is full of toxins. When the liver fails to handle all the toxins, it is forced to store the unfiltered toxins in the fat cells.
An unhealthy liver can cause allergic reactions. As the liver becomes overloaded with toxins, it enters the bloodstream. When the brain recognizes that these toxins have entered the bloodstream, it will release chemicals and antibodies to fight the allergens causing allergies like itchy rashes.
#5 Pale Yellow Skin and Eyes
Unless your natural skin color is pale, this sign is a red flag that your liver health is compromised, and it needs immediate medical attention.
Yellows eyes and skin may indicate that you are suffering from jaundice. Jaundice only occurs when the liver accumulates large quantities of bilirubin. It is a yellow pigment which is formed as a result of the breakdown of dead red bold cells in the liver.
