Compounding the problem is the fact that hypertension is often accompanied by high cholesterol. This can lead to blood clotting – a dangerous and potentially fatal condition.
5. Profuse sweating and/or body odor
The liver is a disproportionately large organ. When it becomes overloaded, it naturally releases a large amount of heat. This is a common occurrence in a person with fatty liver.
Of course, the high heat transferred throughout the body causes sweating, as the body attempts to regulate its temperature and cool itself. Excessive sweating leads to unpleasant body odor…and the heat, sweat, stench cycle repeats itself.
What you can do…
Fortunately, the liver follows the trend of other organs in that it can self-heal to a degree. We will give you some ideas on what can be done to initiate this healing response. Of course, these ideas are also beneficial for maintaining liver health.
– Eat a balanced and nutritious diet
This point simply cannot be emphasized enough: eating and nutritional habits have a big impact on liver health. As such, try to prioritize a good balance of your diet: fiber sources, high-quality proteins, healthy fats, whole grains, etc.
– Avoid alcoholic drinks.
Even moderate amounts of alcohol do significant damage to the liver. In advanced stages, the liver becomes scarred and swollen (known as cirrhosis) – a condition that can be fatal.
– Know your medications and supplements.
There are a range of medications that include liver problems as a side effect. Many of them say so on the package! Supplements are not regulated, which also requires caution.
