We asked Luca to give us 5 good reasons to pamper our liver. Here's what he replied:
1. Pamper your liver to be fully fit because if it works badly are you tired and without energy
If the liver malfunction is unable to cope with the enormous amount of work that usually plays and even to manage adequately the metabolism of nutrients. In a nutshell, if your liver is tired, is no longer able to eliminate toxins that accumulate and, therefore, your body will feel weighted and tired.
2. Pamper your liver to have a good intestinal transit
Did you know that the liver, gall bladder and intestines are connected? Those with liver problems also has intestinal problems! Proper nutrition, a good moisturizing and adequate physical exercise are the cornerstones of a good bowel function. The proper diet also allows you to maintain a healthy intestinal flora (microbiota), necessary for good health.

3. Pamper your liver to keep slim
The liver, under some circumstances, malfunctions may not be able to adequately handle the metabolism of nutrients taken with food and store fat.

If he is tired and does not carry out its work ... that's coming the terrible love handles!
4. Pamper your liver to keep under control your cholesterol level
The liver synthesizes some of the circulating cholesterol and, following a diet too richen fats or in the presence of a particular genetic pattern, can increase its production.
In practice the more you eat too many bad fats like fried foods, too much cheese or fatty foods, the more your liver must manufacture of cholesterol but the problem is that, at some point, fails to delete it and, when you do the analysis, see the skyrocketing value!
5. Pampers your liver to become sick less!
The liver, as the lungs, skin and kidneys, is one of the organs that serve to eliminate toxins. Are exit doors from which the toxins out and, if either of these ports no longer opens, toxins go knocking another. The problem is that these organs have already much work and then this causes a stress which results in cold or other viral events. Then a good liver function guarantees a correct functioning of the immune system.
