Liver Fat : 1 Cup Per Day To Remove Fat From Your Liver

Is the liver important?

So what’s all this talk about this , this liver thing ?

Is it is it that important ?

Do we really need a liver ?

And the problem is the majority of population has a fatty liver .

And a lot of people don’t even know that they have fat in the liver until they get an ultrasound or they get a CAT scan .

And then they’re , they’re shocked .

So I think it’s number 1 important understand about the liver and the importances as well as how to get the fat out of the liver .

There’s a great simple thing that you can do , which I’m going to talk about .

And there’s also a drink that you can make every day to reduce fat on your liver and with some pretty good science behind it .

And I’m gonna put those links down below with each of the ingredient that I’m going to talk about .

The importance of bile

The first thing I want to mention about , the liver is that people don’t realize that bile is made by the liver , they think it’s made by the gallbladder .

Now , the gallbladder is just a sack that holds the bile .

But I want to talk about the importance of bile for a second because the liver makes the bile .

And the more you understand about what bile does , you’ll appreciate , the liver much , much more .

Now bile is a detergent that helps you break down fat .

But exactly what does that mean breakdown fat ?

Let’s say for example , this is some fat , okay .

And this is traveling through the stomach , you just ate some fat , and it’s going to be now going down into the small intestine .

So the stomach will kind of break it down to a certain level .

But then we need help from the gallbladder releasing bile to act on this , this big clump of fat .

Right ?

So the problem is that , bile needs help to break this thing down , and it uses help from the pancreas .

There’s an enzyme and the pancreas called lipase .

Okay ?

Lipid meaning fat , ace meaning enzyme .

The problem is that in order for lipase to do its job , it needs the biles help .

And what the bile is going to do , it’s going to break down this significantly so there’s more surface area for the enzyme to act on .

So this is what bile does .

So the bile starts to break this down into small little pieces here .

So let me just kinda break all that down right here .

So now we have a much greater surface area of fat for the enzyme lipase to do its job .

So simply bile increases the surface area of fat , so you can get more of a complete digestion of that fat in the extraction into the small intestine .

That’s where it gets absorbed .

So without enough bile , then the enzyme can’t do its job , And now you don’t get enough vitamin a .

The first symptom of a vitamin a deficiency is like night blindness .

So you’re you’re driving at night , it’s raining , and you just can’t quite see .

It’s hard to see at night .

Okay .

Night vision .

That’s vitamin a .

I mean , vitamin a also , counters , bad sinus problems if you have an immune system issue .

So if you have really bad sinuses , chances are you could be deficient in vitamin a .

But vitamin a does a lot of other things as well .

Then we have a lack of vitamin e .

Well , that could show up in your heart .

So maybe you get more inflammation in the heart , in the , coronary arteries , which shows up as calcification , higher levels of cholesterol plaquing , things like that .

Other than that , it probably won’t do anything else .

I’m being very sarcastic .

Then we have vitamin D .

Let’s say you can’t absorb vitamin D .

Well , that’s a big problem because you need it for , getting rid of pain .

You need it for decreasing blood pressure .

You need it for the formation of calcium in your bones , and as well as the absorption of calcium in the small intestine .

So if you don’t have vitamin D , the rate of absorption of calcium is like way , way lower .

With vitamin D , you absorb 20 times as much calcium as if you didn’t have it .

So now you have all sorts of calcium problems like bone loss and problems sleeping at night and you name it .

Then we have vitamin k with vitamin k 1 and vitamin k 2 .

If you’re deficient in vitamin k 1 , then you you get bruising easily .

You bleed easily .

You can’t clot as well .

And with vitamin K 2 , a deficiency of that , you have a calcium building up in the arteries , as well as the joints .

Then we have , other fats like omega 3 fatty acids .

You need that to keep your inflammation really low .

And with fat enough omega 3 fatty acids , you have all sorts of inflammatory conditions , arthritis , heart problems , even dementia , because of the involvement in your brain .

Your brain apparently needs a lot of omega 3 fatty acids .

Now , the other thing that bile does is it helps get rid of the excess amount of cholesterol .

Let’s say , for example , you decide that you’re gonna lose weight and you get on the ketogenic diet .

And now all of this fat cell is releasing its triglyceride and its cholesterol .

That’s what’s in a fat cell , the combination of triglycerides , which is can be used for energy , and also cholesterol , which can’t be used as energy .

So we need bile to help eliminate that excess amount of cholesterol .

So if you don’t have enough bile , because you don’t have enough capacity of liver function , then you end up with gallstones .

Gallstones are created by a super concentrated cholesterol situation because there’s not enough bile to emulsify and break it down .

So we get this crystallization of cholesterol .

So when people have gallstones , they actually need more bile .

They don’t need necessarily less cholesterol .

And then you also have people that are on statin drugs , which basically block the production of cholesterol .

And guess what bile is made out of ?

Cholesterol .

This is why the risk goes way up in getting gallstones and all these other issues if someone’s on a statin .

And then the other big important , purpose of bile salts is to help eliminate toxins .

And now your body becomes instantly more toxic because you don’t , you can’t get rid of the toxins that are floating to the liver .

Because the purpose of the liver is not to store toxins .

It’s to break down toxins into harmless particles .

So if you can’t break them down , then , and you’re taking medication and you’re being exposed to planet Earth , boy , you get a lot of extra poisonous things that are flooding to the bloodstream and to your body .

So we really need this liver to work correctly .

A big symptom of a fatty liver

Another symptom of a fatty liver is that , you start getting a heavier liver , it becomes enlarged .

And that pressure , doesn’t fit in the cavity anymore on the right side .

So it backs up and it puts pressure into the right side of your neck up to here to the shoulder .

So you get shoulder pain .

You get a lot of tension in your right trap , and that can create a fullness underneath the right rib cage is one of the symptoms .

And , you know , people say , well , I need to , flush out my gallbladder .

Well , you know , you need to get rid of the fat in the liver .

It’s a little bit different than fleshing out , anything which I’m gonna explain .

Important functions of the liver

Important functions of the liver:

• It makes bile

• It helps convert thyroid hormones

• It buffers excess sex hormones

Bile is made by the liver, and it helps you break down fat. A lack of bile can lead to a lot of various health problems.

Bile is also very important to keep fat out of the liver. Anything you can do to help increase bile reserves will help you remove liver fat.

You may even want to take purified bile salts. Keep in mind that the ketogenic diet and intermittent fasting can help remove fat from the liver. I believe this is essential if you have a fatty liver

The other important part about the , the liver is its conversion function from t 4 to t 3 , your thyroid .

Without a good liver , you can’t convert the thyroid hormones .

So you might have hormones there , but they’re not activated because they can’t be converted .

80% of all the active form of t three , the thyroid hormone , works through the liver .

So without that liver fully functioning , maybe you get , 70 or 60 or 50 percent of it being converted .

And here you are wondering , why do I have a thyroid problem , there’s no reason to have a thyroid problem .

The problem is not the thyroid , it’s your liver , it’s the conversions .

Okay .

Very important .

The other very important function of the liver is to buffer , certain excesses of , sex hormones , like estrogen and testosterone .

It’s not good to have too much testosterone or too much estrogen .

And so without the liver working right , you cannot form the proteins to buffer those hormones .

And so then we have , issues like , polycystic ovarian syndrome in women , which is , too much androgen .

And we also have too much estrogen in even men .

They start getting all sorts of problems with , breast tissue and low testosterone .

And the list goes on and on and on .

Symptoms of low bile

Now , because I talked a bit more on bile , I do wanna mention some other symptoms to , to try to identify if you have low bile .

Okay .

Number 1 , do you have an intolerance to digesting fat ?

When you eat fat , do you find that you get more bloating ?

That would be an indication that you need more bile .

Do you find that your stool is light colored , like pale or even gray , Or does it float ?

Or does it leave skid marks ?

That could mean that you’re low in bile .

Do you find that after you eat , you’re just not satisfied ?

Well , maybe because you’re not extracting the fats to be absorbed to then tell the brain like , okay , I’m done eating .

That could be a sign that you need more bile .

If you have , nausea or you have indigestion or bloating , those can be signs , bloating , burping , belching are classic signs of low bile as well .

Alright , so now that you have some basics on the liver and the importance of bile , Bile is really important into keeping the fat out of the liver .

So anything you can do to increase bile reserves is going to help you get rid of a fatty liver .

So some people even take purified bile salts .

And I did put a link down below for more information on that .

But today I want to talk about , a really simple shake you can make to to help reduce fat on your liver

How to remove fat from the liver
