The liver is our largest organ, but we pay surprisingly little attention to it. The liver has no nerve endings, so it cannot send us an SOS signal through pain. This is why most people do not notice liver problems right away. But this “very humble superhero” plays a huge role in digestion, metabolism, elimination of toxins - and in maintaining the health of our entire body. Fortunately, this phoenix organ has a unique ability to heal itself - sometimes it just needs a little help. Authoritative French gastroenterologist Professor Gabriel Perlemuter not only explains how to support and improve the liver, but also helps to understand the whole modern variety of diets, detoxes and contradictory approaches to proper nutrition. You will learn both the point of view of official medicine and alternative views - despite all his scientific credentials and status in the academic environment, Professor Perlemuter is not prone to dogmatism and, without bias, talks not only about traditional medicines, but also about popular dietary supplements, antioxidants, and medicinal plants .At the end of the book he offers handy and practical recommendation lists of foods that are good for the liver and the entire digestive system.
