La BOISSON Pour ENLEVER La GRAISSE DU FOIE ( + 3 fonctions méconnues du foie)

Your liver plays a very important role on your health, I'm not going to tell you here, I made many videos on the subject. It allows for example the storage of glycogen, which is a form of energy usable by your body, and it also participates in the degradation of toxic substances that can be dangerous for your health. Okay, but beyond these well-known functions, there are many functions of the liver that are underestimated and not necessarily well-known. For example, did you know that the liver produces bile? Bile, contrary to what many people think, is not produced by the bile vesicle, but by the liver. Bile is essential for digestion, it is used in particular for the decomposition of fats that you consume. In fact, bile acts a bit like a detergent, decomposing large particles of fat into smaller ones, to allow the lipase enzyme to function efficiently and facilitate the digestion of fats. Thus, a low production of bile can be manifested by a feeling of insufficient satiety after meals. And without enough bile, our body cannot necessarily properly absorb liposoluble vitamins such as vitamins A, E, D and K. However, these vitamins are essential for your health, especially for vision and a strong immune system. The liver also intervenes in the thyroid function, it converts the thyroid hormones T4 into T3. In fact, T4 is the main hormone produced by the thyroid, which has very little effect on the basic metabolism. On the other hand, T4 must be converted into T3, which is the most active hormone in terms of metabolism. And the conversion of T4 hormone into T3 takes place in the liver. And without a good liver, this conversion can be compromised, leading to health problems. So I know that I am asked very often, and yes, I will soon make videos about thyroid. It's a complex but very exciting subject to understand how metabolism works, and how the thyroid can sometimes block this metabolism. But as we have just seen, in order to have a thyroid that works well, well, you also need to have a liver that works well. This is super important. Third unknown function of the liver, it allows the regulation of sexual hormones such as estrogen and testosterone. There is a very important protein in the body called globulin-linked sexual hormones, or SHBG in English. This protein is linked to male hormones such as testosterone and female hormones such as estradiol, thus regulating their levels and their biodisposability. Thus, a dysfunction of the liver can lead to a hormonal dysfunction, or more precisely a hormonal imbalance. As a consequence, women can have polycystic ovary syndrome, for example, and testosterone problems in men. So we understood that if your liver is sick, all the functions we have seen previously, especially on hormones, on thyroid, on the creation of the bile, well, all that works much less well. So, why will the liver become sick? In fact, there can be several reasons, the liver is a rather complex organ, but if we are going to focus on one main reason, it is the liver that becomes fat. This is what is called hepatic steatosis. In fact, hepatic steatosis is an abnormal accumulation of fat, so of fat bodies, inside the liver cells. And this is often a starting point for other pathologies, such as cancer. Because yes, we see at the same time an increase in the number of liver cancer. Liver cancer should increase by 55% by 2040. This phenomenon is largely explained by the spectacular and constant progression of the number of people affected by hepatic steatosis responsible for cirrhosis and cancer. There are therefore two types of hepatic steatosis. Alcoholic hepatic steatosis, which mainly comes from alcohol overconsumption, and non-alcoholic hepatic steatosis, which largely comes from the overconsumption of sweet products or high glycemic index products. And non-alcoholic hepatic steatosis is a disease associated with metabolic syndrome, which is generally observed via abdominal obesity, a high level of cholesterol, diabetes, arterial hypertension, etc. OK, but how to remove this famous fat from the liver? There are not 36,000 ways to do it. In general, the liver becomes fat because we consume too much sugar or high glycemic index products, and we are too sedentary and we eat too much. So to reverse this, you have to do the opposite, that is to say, consume a diet mainly rich in low-Ig food, so low in sugar, to make it ultra-simple, practice intermittent fasting to eat a little less, and practice a physical activity to no longer be sedentary. Thus, by combining the ketogenic diet, for example, which is very low in carbohydrates, and intermittent fasting, it is possible to reduce the fat in the liver by 50% in only 14 days. So, as we have seen, priority to a low glycemic index diet, even ketogenic, then the practice of intermittent fasting, at least the 16-8 format that I have been teaching for a very long time, and then the practice of a physical activity such as walking, with at least 10,000 steps per day or 3 hours of walking per day, well, it will be perfect. So I'm going to give you the recipe for a little shake to take every day to help you get good habits and that will help you set up everything we just saw. So be careful, this is not a magic drink. If you just drink this smoothie and you do nothing else next to it, well, nothing will change. As we have seen, to overcome the fatty liver, you must imperatively change your lifestyle. So why is this little smoothie going to help you? First, because it will be extremely rich in antioxidants. And the liver, which is sick, is very sensitive to oxidative stress. It itself creates a lot of oxidative stress. Secondly, it will be rather anti-inflammatory and a sick liver will generate a lot of chronic inflammation. A sick liver is an inflamed liver. And then it will be very rich in micronutrients and a sick liver tends to absorb less micronutrients due to the fact that it works less well. There are two ingredients that I love for that, it's choucaille and blueberries. Choucaille, for example, is extremely rich in vitamins and fiber. In particular, it is rich in vitamins K, A and C. And blueberries are super foods, extremely rich in antioxidants and very low glycemic index. To prepare this shake every day, here is a simple recipe. So 300 ml of water or almond milk, 200 g of blueberries, 100 g of choucaille. As an option, you can put 2 tablespoons of chia seeds or 1 teaspoon of turmeric powder. Mix all the ingredients in a blender until you get a smooth and creamy consistency. And serve immediately to enjoy all the benefits of this shake. Once again, this is not a magic drink. It's there to give you a little push and help you get new habits. By consuming this shake every day, it must motivate you to change your diet and learn new healthy habits throughout your day. Like eating less sweet products and doing more physical activity. Beyond alcohol and sweet products, there are other components that can damage your liver. There may be things you would not have thought that are harmful to the health of your liver. I made a video not long ago that gives you 4 bad things, 4 things on a daily basis that can literally damage your liver. If you're interested, I put the video right here. I invite you to go see it to learn more about liver health. And I'll see you very soon for more videos. Until then, of course, take care of yourself. Ciao ciao!
