Love Your Liver with Vitamin E

The liver is the largest internal organ and often under appreciated.  The liver has a wide range of functions, including detoxification, protein synthesis, and production of biochemicals necessary for digestion,  glycogen storage, decomposition of red blood cells, plasma protein synthesis, hormone production, and metabolism, making it one of the most important organs to keep healthy and it is often neglected.  I have moved to completely natural pain alternatives like Curamin that does not process negatively on the liver.  Many over the counter pain remedies are very harmful to the liver.  I became aware of the potential risks about a year ago when my liver enzemes tested a little high and my doctor was concerned about why. 

Most of us are aware that Alcohol is dangerous for your liver, but insulin resistance can lead to nonalcoholic fatty liver disease and severe cases can cause scaring and perminate damage and can progess into cirrhosis and liver failure, all serious concerns.  This made perfect sense for me as I love sugar and have been informed more than once that unless I change my sugar intake I will develop diabetes in the future. 

Now a study shows that 800 IU of Vitamin E supplements may reduce inflammation and fatty deposits in people with nonalcoholic steahepatitis.  To help with insulin resistance, try chromium picolionate and or cinnamon, both of which help insulin process glucose better and have helped me control the amount of sugar and carbs I eat.  So try eating a low-glycemic index diet, regular exercise, healthy weight loss, eat vitamin E rich foods especially seeds and nuts and consider adding a vitamin E supplement.
