❤️ YOUR LIVER BY AVOIDING THESE FOODS 🍞🍔🥓🧂🍰🍺

The Functions Of The Liver

All the blood leaving the stomach and intestines passes through the liver. The liver processes this blood and breaks down, balances, and creates the nutrients and also metabolizes drugs into forms that are easier to use for the rest of the body or that are nontoxic.

Fatty Foods

Eat too many foods that are high in saturated fat and it can make it harder for your liver to do its job. Over time it may lead to inflammation, which in turn could cause scarring of the liver that’s known as cirrhosis.

Packaged Snacks

Avoid packaged savory snacks like crisps, mixtures, salty biscuits etc as they are rich in saturated fat and salt. Processed cheese is bad for your liver as it comes under the category of processed foods and has high sodium content and saturated fats. Excess consumption can lead to fatty liver diseases, plus obesity.

Too Much Salt

This can cause liver dysfunction resulting in water retention, swelling, and inflammation.

Alcohol

Each time your liver filters alcohol, some of the liver cells die. The liver can develop new cells, but prolonged alcohol misuse (drinking too much) over many years can reduce its ability to regenerate. This can result in serious and permanent damage to your liver.
White Bread

It is essential to understand that highly refined grains convert into sugar content. This content is hard to process and end up as fat in the liver. It is one of the major causes of fatty liver diseases. You should instead opt for healthy alternatives that will help your liver to stay healthy throughout the year.

Excess Sugar

Sugar turns into fat. Any excess glucose in the blood is turned into fat cells. The liver is one of the places in our bodies that stores this excess fat. Over time, liver cells are gradually replaced by fat cells, leading to non-alcohol related fatty liver disease .Eating foods and drinking healthy drinks are what keeps our bodies well. When we feel well we feel energised and motivated to do things. Click Healthy Recipes to get started.

IMPROVE ❤️ HEALTH WITH THESE FOODS 🍊🍎🍆

Cholesterol is a waxy, fat-like substance made in the liver, and found in the blood and in all cells of the body. Cholesterol is important for good health and is needed for making cell walls, tissues, hormones, vitamin D, and bile acid.

High cholesterol is when you have too much of a fatty substance called cholesterol in your blood. It’s mainly caused by eating fatty food, not exercising 

LDL (low-density lipoprotein) cholesterol, sometimes called “bad” cholesterol, makes up most of your body’s cholesterol. High levels of LDL cholesterol raise your risk for heart disease and stroke.

Grapefruit

Grapefruit is rich in pectin, a type of soluble fiber that lowers LDL.

Olive Oil

olive oil is high in monounsaturated fatty acids, containing about 75% by volume. When substituted for saturated fat, monounsaturated fats help lower your “bad” LDL cholesterol. The health benefits of olive oil have been attributed to its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties.

Nuts

Eating nuts in moderation may lower blood pressure, improve cholesterol and improve overall blood vessel health.

Aubergine

Aurbergine has antioxidants like vitamins A and C, which help protect your cells against damage. It’s also high in natural plant chemicals called polyphenols, which may help cells do a better job of processing sugar if you have diabetes.

Garlic

Garlic can decrease in cholesterol absorption, cholesterol, and fatty acid synthesis.

Salmon

Salmon is rich in omega-3 fatty acids, which are healthy fats that can help reduce blood pressure. Eating salmon can improve your “good” HDL cholesterol, but it won’t lower your “bad” LDL cholesterol. HDL cholesterol helps sweep cholesterol off your artery walls, preventing dangerous plaque from forming.

Dark Chocolate
The compounds in dark chocolate appear to be highly protective against the oxidation of LDL. In the long term, this should cause much less cholesterol to lodge in the arteries, resulting in a lower risk of heart disease.

Oats

Oat soluble fiber (beta glucan) helps control blood cholesterol by binding some of the cholesterol in your digestive tract. More specifically, soluble fiber helps trigger the liver to pull LDL (bad cholesterol) from the bloodstream for excretion.

So start your today. You never know, you may just surprise yourself and feel better, healthier and even happier in the process.

When you feel well, everything else will fall into place. You feel like to doing things, you have more energy, you have the Get Up and Go and so much more.

About Me….

Hi, my name is Lina Patel. 

I am a Wellness Ambassador, Inspiring Wellness with Yoga and Holistic Therapies. 

Here is a very brief summary of my life journey that has bought me to my Wellness path : A little bit about Me..

When I was 4 years old, I had a near death experience. I was severely sick and constantly in and out of the hospital. The doctors even operated and found nothing. They didn’t know what was going on with me. In fact all hope was lost. The doctors had told my parents that I was not going to survive the morning. But my mum had not lost hope, she prayed for my wellness to Sai Baba, her spiritual guide. That night, I remember seeing Sai Baba, he raised his hand and smiled at me. The next morning I kept saying to my mum “I am okay”, my body was covered in grey ash miraculously. The doctors could not believe their eyes. A miracle had occurred. I was more than okay. I had fully recovered. It wasn’t until my husband and I were trying for a baby and I couldn’t fall pregnant, that I found out I had been diagnosed with Tuberculosis (TB) at that time.

My Wellness Journey did not start until much later although my life events had started to take effect on me subconsciously… when I was ten years old, my parents sold their business and emigrated to America. My parents eventually bought a business which went bankrupt. They lost all their savings and we were financially Poor. I had gone to schools in various States. We eventually went back to the UK and my dad was then diagnosed with Cancer. He suffered on and off for two years, spending the last six months of his life in a hospice. All in All, I was traumatised by this experience.

Although I wasn’t aware of it didn’t know it, I was in a constant state of anxiety (continually anxious. This ultimately shaped me and led me on a journey of Wellness discovery. During my journey, I discovered a variety of strategies to create wellness for myself and others. My first student was my mother. She has really suffered during her life and has had three Heart Attacks, Fractured hip and hip replacement, Heart bypass surgery, TB, water in the lungs. She is now 85 years old living by herself and despite all these challenges she is still going strong. So why did my dad never recover from his cancer and pass away and on the contrary my mum is still going strong at 85? The simple reason is that Essentially I have been working with my mum intensely on a number of strategies and she has to her credit been applying these strategies which thankfully have benefitted her greatly.

I have travelled the World to retreats, workshops and seminars so I can be the best version of myself. Now I aspire to inspire clients to create their life on purpose, so they can live the life they love, creating the best version of themselves.

I recognise that every student or client I meet have unique needs based on unique lifestyles – and so I have made it my business to ensure my Classes, Workshops and Mentoring Program are uniquely tailored to the student/Client.⠀
