I’ve had many clients who have told me that they’re heavy drinking was not negatively affecting their body, and that can be the case… for a certain period of time.  However drinking too much alcohol can have a very negative effect on your liver.

Taking care of your liver, a key organ for fat metabolism, is one of the best-kept secrets to health and weight loss.  Researchers estimate that the liver performs nearly 400 different jobs. And many of these functions are essential to not only your weight loss but to your overall health.

Some of its functions are to:
o  Produce bile to break down fats
o  Convert glucose to glycogen
o  Make certain amino acids
o  Filter harmful substances from the body

As you can see, a healthy liver not only regulates metabolism, it also is the major fat-burning organ in the body.  The liver just doesn’t burn fat; it also takes excessive fat out of your body. Its counterpart, a fatty liver is storing fat and becomes a warehouse for fat.  According to Dr. Sandra Cabot: liver dysfunction causes:
o  Weight problems
o  Increased cardiovascular diseases
o  Increased degenerative disease
