HOW TO REPAIR A DAMAGED

LIVER
May 07, 2020 6 min read
Your liver plays a major role in your everyday health. It’s

responsible for filtering toxins and other harmful substances
from your blood. It also assists with digestion, makes hormones
and proteins, and regulates your cholesterol and blood sugar.

That’s not all! Your liver also stores important nutrients such as
vitamins, iron and glucose, and breaks down sugar into a
functional source of energy when your body needs it. On top of
that, it’s the liver’s job to break down hemoglobin and destroy
old blood cells.
That’s why a healthy, functioning liver is so vital. Unfortunately,

liver damage is increasingly common and is often a major
contributor to many other diseases. If something prevents your
liver from doing its job – or from repairing itself – the
consequences for your health may be very serious.
The good news is that the liver has the amazing ability to
regenerate after injury – if you allow it to do so.
WHAT CAUSES LIVER DAMAGE?

While we most often associate liver damage with drinking too
much alcohol, this is only one of the possible causes. There are
many different factors involved in liver damage, and some are
not self-inflicted at all.
Viruses or toxins from medication and pollutants can all cause

serious harm to the liver. So too can genetic liver diseases or
autoimmune disorders such as autoimmune hepatitis. Examples
of liver disease include:
Diseases caused by viruses, such as hepatitis A, hepatitis B,

and hepatitis C
Diseases caused by drugs, poisons, or excessive alcohol

intake. This can lead to fatty liver disease and cirrhosis.
Cancer of the liver
Genetic diseases such as hemochromatosis and Wilson

disease
Alcohol dehydrates your body, forcing the liver to draw water

from other sources. If you continue to drink excessively, your
liver will be unable to process fat fast enough, causing the fat to
accumulate. This buildup can lead to fatty liver, which in turn
results in inflammation and scarring, alcoholic hepatitis and
eventually cirrhosis. (1)
Cirrhosis occurs when liver cells become so damaged they are

replaced by scar tissue. This scar tissue slows the flow of blood
and other fluids through the liver, impeding its ability to flush out
toxins.
5 LIFESTYLE TIPS FOR REPAIRING A

DAMAGED LIVER
Treating a damaged liver in the inflammation stage is crucial. If
someone with a damaged liver continues to drink alcohol or
consume other toxins, cirrhosis and liver cancer can lead to
irreparable damage that may be fatal.
However, there are many ways you can give your liver a chance
to heal itself and recover.
1. REDUCE YOUR DRINKING

According to the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and
Alcoholism, the biggest cause of liver damage – and death from
liver disease – is chronic alcohol consumption. It’s also the third
most common cause of liver transplants.
Your liver has the job of processing alcohol and filtering it out of
your bloodstream. This is why it is so vulnerable to alcohol-
related injury.
Dramatically reducing or eliminating your alcohol intake is the

only way your liver has any chance of recovery.
If you have serious alcohol-related liver damage, the first thing

you must do is stop drinking altogether: simply reducing your
intake won’t be enough. Although fibrosis cannot be reversed,
cutting out alcohol completely will at least prevent any further
damage. (2)
2. EAT THE RIGHT FOODS

Along with the alcohol, you must also cut out the ‘junk’ foods that
are taxing on your liver. This includes processed foods, fatty
foods, sugars and foods containing artificial ingredients. These
must all be filtered by the liver, which means it has to work
harder.
Instead, a diet rich in fruits, vegetables and antioxidants can do

wonders for a damaged liver. Foods that contain lots of vitamins
and minerals are not only easier for your liver to process, but
they will provide your body with the nutrition that it needs to
recover.
Choose brightly-coloured fruits and vegetables such as leafy

greens and berries, as these contain the highest amounts of
antioxidants. (3)
Oily fish such as salmon, sardines and mackerel are high in

omega-3 fatty acids, which are highly beneficial to cell
regeneration. Omega-3 fatty acids also help to reduce
inflammation and promote healing.
3. CUT OUT OTHER TOXINS

Another everyday source of toxins to the body is cigarette

smoke. Cigarettes contain harmful chemicals including nicotine,
formaldehyde and even lead. These will only add to the burden
on your liver. If you smoke, quit! Cutting these toxins out will give
your liver a better chance of recovery.
Environmental pollutants are less easy to avoid. If you live in a

city, you’ll likely be exposed to pollutants and other airborne
toxins on a regular basis.
You can try to balance this out by wearing a face mask in the
worst areas, and also spending as much time as possible in
filtered air or amongst the trees.
Take extra precautions around aerosol sprays, spray paints,

insecticides, fungicides and any other form of chemicals.
4. GET ACTIVE
Exercise helps to reduce stress on the liver by burning off excess
fat. Regular physical activity also helps you to maintain a healthy
weight, which reduces the risk of obesity – another major factor
in liver damage.
Research has shown that daily physical activity such as walking

and muscle-strengthening exercises can significantly reduce the
risk of fatal liver cirrhosis.
Adults who walk regularly were shown to have up to 73 percent

lower risk for cirrhosis-related death than those who were less
active. The risk was even lower for those who combined their
walking with muscle-strengthening exercises. (4)
Try to exercise for at least 30 minutes a day. This can be as simple

as a brisk walk, jogging, swimming or even gardening.
5. BE MINDFUL OF MEDICATIONS
Both prescription and over-the-counter medications can be

harmful to the liver if taken for long periods of time or in large
doses. If you are taking medication, talk to your doctor about
how it may affect your liver and whether there is an alternative
option.
Avoid taking OTC painkillers too often, as these can be extremely

taxing on the liver if taken regularly.
TOP SUPPLEMENTS FOR LIVER

REPAIR
Here are the top natural supplements for liver repair. These are
all included in our Liver Support supplement, along with
other liver-supportive ingredients!
1. MILK THISTLE
Milk thistle is one of the most powerful liver herbs. Milk thistle
seeds contain a flavonoid called silymarin, an important
antioxidant.
Milk thistle supports and protects your liver by optimizing its

daily function and detoxification. It also helps to repair damage
to liver cells from disease, alcohol and drugs.
Numerous reviews have shown milk thistle’s active compounds

to be a promising treatment for chronic liver disease. (5)
Studies have shown that milk thistle supplements can reduce

liver inflammation and damage, and neutralize free radicals, the
unstable electrons generated by your environment, stress and
diet. Free radicals can cause serious damage to your cells, as well
as speeding up the ageing process and increasing your risk of

disease.
2. ARTICHOKE EXTRACT
Artichokes contain two important compounds: cynarin and
silymarin. These work to improve the overall health of the liver
by clearing the buildup of toxins and eliminating them from the
liver and the body. Most importantly, they help your liver to flush
toxins out of the body by stimulating the flow of bile.
Artichoke extract can also help treat chronic liver diseases and
restore liver health after injury (7). Animal studies have shown it
can protect the liver and possibly even help liver cells regenerate.
It may even lower lipid levels in the body, which helps to speed
the recovery process.
3. TURMERIC EXTRACT
Turmeric is not only a powerful antioxidant, it’s one of the most
effective anti-inflammatory herbs on earth. Its active ingredient,
curcumin, has been shown to help treat liver damage caused by
progressive inflammatory conditions.
Studies involving mice with chronic liver inflammation have

shown that regular doses of curcumin over several weeks can
help to clear blocked bile ducts. The curcumin also appeared to
significantly reduce the risk of damage and scarring in liver cells.
(8 )
Researchers believe that turmeric works by interfering with

several pathways involved in the inflammatory process, while
also warding off harmful free radicals.
4. DANDELION ROOT EXTRACT
Dandelion root has been used to treat liver conditions for

centuries, and it continues to be an effective herbal remedy. Like
milk thistle and artichoke extract, dandelion root appears to
boost the flow of bile.
A 2017 study suggested that dandelion root contains important

polysaccharides that can support liver function. Another study
involving mice showed that dandelion root extract helped to
significantly slow down the progression of liver fibrosis. When
delivered as an extract, dandelion root appeared to inactivate
the main cells involved in fibrosis. This helped to significantly
reduce oxidative stress on the liver, allowing the liver cells to heal
and regenerate.
THE BOTTOM LINE

Optimizing your liver health can involve a number of steps.
Eliminating toxic exposure to substances like alcohol, cigarette
smoke, and air pollution will alow your liver time to repair itself.
Certain highly processed foods should also be avoided.
There are some natural supplements that have been shown to aid
the liver in repairing itself. These include milk thistle and
dandelion extract. All of these and more are included in our Liver
One formula.
Here are a few key reasons why Liver One is so effective:
