In her new report on Eating for Healthy Skin, our nutrition consultant Fiona Pike talks about the importance of looking after your liver:
"Everything that you eat, inhale, put on your skin and drink is, at some point, filtered by your liver. It is a key organ to address when trying to achieve healthy skin. It has many roles: it forms part of the immune system, has a role in hormone regulation, it plays a fundamental role in the conversion of your food into a form recognised by your body; it helps regulate your energy levels and emotions and yet we abuse it constantly.
Over indulgence of alcohol, fatty foods, sugary food and drinks, high stress levels and lack of exercise all take its toll on your liver. You can help your liver by having some alcohol free days; eating fresh, clean foods and ensuring that you are paying some attention to your stress levels! The liver can heal itself and will work very hard for a very long time - if you look after it! All skin conditions indicate that in some respect the liver is under strain."
