TOPIC'S BACKGROUND:
The Overindulged Liver - Understanding It and First Aid
Holidays are good excuses to indulge ourselves with too much of good things such as eating, drinking, etc. Everybody has done it at one time or the other; some admit it and others hide it. It is important that we understand the short and long term effect of too much of such good things on our bodily functions. Everything we ingest, absorb through the skin or breathe must be detoxified and refined by the liver. Too much rich food, sweets, wine and far too much 'hard' alcohol overtax the liver. Without enough water intakes, it will not only affect the liver but the gall bladder, digestive system and the kidneys are also affected.
Join us as we explore the consequences of over eating, drinking, and other excessiveness on the body system. We welcome your tips for portion control and let remind our youngsters before going out to party that "Moderation is medicine".
