Maintaining a Healthy Liver (and Skin)

Having healthy, vibrant and beautiful skin means having a healthy liver.  The liver is one of the most important detoxifying organs in the body.  It is the most complicated organ with the greatest number of functions (known to have 5,000 chemical functions a day) transforming digested food into usable materials and disposing of waster substances; thus affecting every cell of our body.  Over a liter of blood passes through the liver every minute.  When the liver is overloaded, the skin excretes the toxins and poisons present in the body.  Some of the symptoms of a toxic or stressed liver include the following:  skin irritations, blemishes, acne, psoriasis, eczema, allergies, itching skins or hives, heart burn, bloating, general fatigue, nausea and abdominal swelling, yellow discoloration of the skin or eyes, loss of appetite, dark colored urine and loss of energy.
