PAIN NEAR LIVER

 Pain can be felt on the right hand side, in the upper part of the abdomen. And it is the sign that our liver might be in serious trouble. According to the American Liver Foundation, liver lists nearly one thousand possible liver disease's some are genetic but others are caused by harmful habits like alcohol consumption ans drug use.

 When our liver is affected by some disease it can't operate efficiently so it swells up painfully this is body's way to signify that our liver is full of toxins.

LEG AND ANKLE SWELLING 

  When you ignore the problem of toxic liver it will try to repair it self at the cost of forming scar tissue the more scar tissue their is the tougher it is for liver to function which leads to portal hypertension[increase in the blood pressure in the veins of liver] which cause edema[building up fluids in the legs]. 

It is actually pain less, and can affects calf's, legs and thighs. The swelling is most visible in the lower part of the body simply due to gravity.

WEIGHT GAIN

If you experiencing weight gain if it doesn't seem due to over eating or hormonal malfunction it's better to talk with your doctor about checking out your liver.

What happens is that if your liver can't deal with all the toxins coming in from alcohol, artificial sweeteners, high fat diet and certain medication so on....., then it will start storing the unfiltered toxins in fat cells, you won't lose weight until you cleanse your liver.

LOSS OF APPETITE

This one might sound like a dream for those of us who want to lose weight but can't  resist sweet and fatty temptations around, However, loss of appetite is no fun and no joke. A disinterest in food accompanied by nausea and weight loss could be an early symptom of liver disease.

A liver that can't work properly to flush out toxins will give you digestive distress. This causes excessive and unexplained vomiting if you have any of these symptoms, go to doctor immediately.

CHRONIC BAD BREATH  

 There are certain foods that are known for giving bad smelling breath like garlic onion. There are also more  serious causes of this embarrassing symptom.

ALLERGIES

 Allergies are often the result of an overloaded and sluggish liver, when there are too many substances entering the blood stream the immune system recognizes it as an allergen and releases antibodies like HISTAMINES[which causes itchy rashes] these are extermly sever on palms and feet.

A happy healthy liver, through, cleans the blood of all the harmful molecules and eliminates the effect that a potential allergen has on the body.

YELLOW SKIN AND EYES

When a person's eyes or skin turns yellowish, it's known as jaundice. Jaundice itself isn't an illness but rather a symptom of possible conditions, it normally appears when the diseased liver make the body accumulate too much BILIRUBIN.

Bilirubin is formed by the breakdown of dead red blood cells in the liver.

DARK URINE

 This is also result of jaundice, along with yellow color eyes and skin dark colored urine is also an indicator that there's too much bilirubin in your body. 

 You might be in even more trouble if dark urine is accompanied by light or bloody stools.

We all get bruises and nicks easily from time to time especially when you're fighting and playing. If you're one who tends to bruise more easily than others then its the time to check your liver condition.

A bruise is a result of some injury to the blood vessels in your skin the liver can no longer produce enough proteins that are needed to clot the blood after an injury.

Constant stress and the hectic lifestyle most of us have these days can wear anyone out however constantly feeling more dead then alive can't just explain by crazy workload.
