LIVER PROTECTION AND SUPPORT
HEALTH-STYLES OF THE RICH AND THE NOT-SO-RICH
Poor liver health can affect anyone of any age, gender, and
race. Ask any movie star (i.e. Pamela Anderson) who has a distressed liver and they
will tell you that you cannot buy your way out of the problem. But the human
body is amazingly resilient. It can recover from devastating trauma and disease.
It can continue to function with missing or malfunctioning limbs or even some
organs. Although the liver is the only organ that can regenerate itself, you
still cannot live without it. To help your liver function better with a compromised liver,
one should try to reduce the extra stresses and challenges
that are constantly being placed on this vital organ on a daily basis. Some of
the ways to accomplish this are discussed in this section.
The Benefits of Laughter: Having a liver ailment is no
laughing matter. But having a positive attitude and being able to laugh help
many people better cope with the impairment. Studies of very ill patients who have
had spontaneous remissions reveal that the number one factor common to each
person in the studies was their positive attitude in their approach to their
illness. They accepted the reality and took responsibility for and control of
their lives. They changed their attitude towards their ailment, and this made
all the difference in the ways their immune system responded. Challenges were
viewed upon as opportunities, and pleasant thoughts produced pleasant feelings.
Positive thinking is a powerful tool to which we all have access, but which few
of us put into full use.
Several researchers have have been studying the effects of
laughter on the immune system. They have discovered that laughter triggers the
release of endorphins, the body's natural painkillers, and produces a general
sense of well-being. Published studies have also shown that laughing lowers the
blood pressure, reduces stress hormones, and boosts the immune system.
The positive effects of laughter are not gotten by a
half-hearted smile. What is needed is a good "belly laugh." In a recently
published article, several patients were told jokes after surgery and before
painful medication was administered. Those who were exposed to humor perceived
less pain when compared to patients who didn't get a dose of humor as part of
their therapy.
A good belly laugh relaxes the muscles of the body. Laughter
reduces the levels of epinephrine, cortisol, dopamine, and growth hormone, four
hormones directly associated with stress response. A belly laugh is equivalent
to an internal jog. Laughter can provide good cardiac conditioning, especially
for those who are unable to perform physical exercises. And finally, laughter
empties the lungs of more air than it takes in, resulting in a cleansing effect
-- similar to deep breathing. This is especially helpful for patients who are
suffering from emphysema and other respiratory ailments.
So, go ahead and laugh your way to better health. Laughter is
at its best when it is given away, and most of all… it's FREE.
Sleep: How well you sleep can seriously alter your
immune system. Sleep enhances immune function, and immune system activity
enhances sleep. According to several researchers, having a regular sleep/wake
cycle may be necessary to defend against illness. Also, since many people living with liver problems
experience what is
commonly referred to as "brain fog," getting enough sleep appears to be
especially important for reducing this symptom.
Exercise: Exercise boosts the immune system. This is
extremely important in people with a weak liver. People who exercise regularly not only feel
better, but also often respond more positively to medical interventions. For
liver injury prone individuals, exercise in moderation is the key to boosting the
immune system and increasing resistance to disease. Extreme forms of exercise
may actually be particularly harmful if you have an inflamed liver. Weight training as a
form of exercise can decrease the incidence of osteoporosis, a weakening of the
bones which is commonly seen in many individuals. Weight training also
reduces the amount of fat in the liver, which relieves the liver of an
additional stress factor. Exercise can also be beneficial in weight control,
since obesity plays a major role in exacerbating liver enzyme levels. In a
recent study, researchers reported that weight loss gave overall positive benefits
to people with damaged livers.
Sex and the Liver: According to the Centers for
Disease Control (CDC), people with poorly functioning livers who have one long term sexual
partner ( i.e. monogamous relationship) do not have to change their sexual
practices. However, people who are not in a monogamous relationship are
cautioned to practice safe sex. This will help avoid other sexually transmitted
diseases which can further damage the liver.
THE BOTTOM LINE:
Reducing or eliminating many of the stresses placed upon the liver
is one of the most important things that individuals with compromised livers
can do. Adequate sleep, regular exercise, a positive attitude, and a
good belly laugh will all go a long way in helping one live a healthier and
longer life.
