Lessons from Jon Barron What Harms the Liver?    In this week's excerpt from Lessons from the Miracle Doctors, Jon Barron details all of environmental factors and lifestyle choices that harm our livers. "What Harms the Liver? Too much protein in the diet. Protein metabolism is especially taxing on the liver since it is the liver which must metabolize complex proteins into simple compounds. The greater the consumption of protein, the greater the stress on the liver.   Too many simple carbohydrates in the diet. The body converts excess simple carbohydrates into triglycerides, which are then stored in the liver as fat. The more fat stored in the liver, the harder it is for the liver to perform its full range of normal functions.   Overeating. Too much enzyme-deficient food stresses the liver. Cleansing Your Liver, Kidneys, and Blood.   Drug residues. Virtually all of the drugs that we take (medicinal and recreational) are processed, purified, and refined in the liver—in preparation for elimination from the body.   Vitamin isolates. Many vitamins in their isolated form are toxic to the body and must be conjugated by the liver to render them harmless and make them available to the cells. Every time you supplement with such vitamins, you stress the liver.   Alcohol causes inflammation of the liver's tissue. Once the liver is inflamed, it can no longer filter, which causes it to plug up with fat and become even more inflamed. If we consume enough alcohol, we overwhelm the liver's ability to regenerate itself, and the net result is cirrhosis (or hardening) of the liver.   Toxins, heavy metals, and pesticides. Everything we breathe, eat, and absorb through our skin is purified and refined in the liver.   Lack of exercise forces the liver to do the elimination work that should be done by the lungs and the skin.   And, of course, there's always liver disease such as chronic hepatitis C." ------ We hope you enjoyed this week's excerpt from Lessons from the Miracle Doctors.
