The benefits of tamarind for liver cleansing and more.
The liver is one of the largest and most important internal organs of the body. Many people suffer from a fatty liver, also known as liver disease. This is when too much fat is being processed by the liver and it becomes inflamed and begins to clog up with unhealthy fat. This stops the organ from performing its important bodily functions.
The liver is vitally important because its job is to help digest food, detoxify the blood, to break down hormones, to digest fat and to store important minerals. Some people suffer from a fatty liver for decades without even knowing. It causes chronic tiredness, weakness in the body, nausea, confusion, dark urine, bloating and constipation.
The good news is that there are some wonderful foods which you can eat to help them cleanse the liver.
