12 Signs Of Liver Problems Shown By Your Feet
Our feet can tell us a great deal about our health, and give us clues into what is happening
inside our bodies.
Many people suffer with silent liver damage, which can cause problems with blood flow,
and poor circulation to the feet.
Over time, the feet and lower legs begin to present signs and symptoms that there is something
wrong with your liver.
In this video I'm going to highlight the top 12 common signs that your feet give you about
liver problems.
Afterwards You'll also learn about what caused the liver
problems, and how fix them using natural methods.
1.
Swollen Right Foot One of the most common signs that you have
liver disease is swelling (edema) in the right foot or lower leg.
When you press your finger into swollen area, it may leave an indentation (pitting).
This is a build-up of fluid in the tissues, caused by poor blood circulation from your
liver.
2.
Spider Veins (Angioma) If you have liver damage, you may start to
develop small, red spider like blood vessels on the lower part of the leg or foot.
These blood vessels become damaged when your liver isn’t doing its job in filtering out
excess estrogen.
The higher estrogen causes the veins dilate and become visible on your skin.
3.
White/Clubbed Nails The toenails may appear all-white, or they
may change shape to a more boxy, squared or club like appearance.
This indicates that not enough oxygen and nutrients are reaching your nail bed.
This can be a sign that your liver isn't functioning normally, and absorbing the nutrients needed
to keep the nails strong and healthy.
4.
Flat Purple Bumps (Lichen Planus) One of the livers main jobs is to filter toxins
and chemicals out of your blood.
However if your liver isn't working properly, toxins can build up in the blood and cause
skin irritation such as purple flat bumps/rash on the feet or legs.
This can sometimes indicate a viral infection in the liver called hepatitis C.
5.
Cracked Heels If your liver isn't making enough bile, your
body is unable to properly absorb certain nutrients like omega 3-s.
This causes cracking beneath the feet/heels.
Cracked feet also indicates a Vitamin B3 deficiency, because B3(Niacin) helps to keep the liver
clear of fatty deposits.
6.
Staining (Hemosiderin) If you have patches of red, brown or yellow
stains (bruises) on your lower leg or feet, this can indicate problems with blood circulation
coming from the liver.
This happens when iron becomes trapped underneath your skin, due to poor liver function.

7.
Itching Soles If your liver is congested, it becomes backed
up with fluid and bile.
This causes bile salts to start accumulating under the skin, which causes histamines to
build up in the blood.
This triggers a reaction and the feet will feel very itchy, especially on the bottom.
8.
Purple/Red Spots (Ecchymosis) There is another condition called ecchymosis
which causes little purple/red spots to appear on the skin around the lower legs or the arms.
This is often caused by poor circulation from the liver, or possibly diabetes.
9.
Burning Sensation If you frequently feel a burning or hot sensation
in your feet, this can indicate nerve damage from high blood sugars/prediabetes.
People who have this usually have insulin resistance and fatty liver disease.
10.
Toenail Fungus If the toenails become thicker, yellow and
crumble easily then you likely have a toenail fungus overgrowth.
This can sometimes indicate liver problems, as there is an imbalance in the microbes of
your body, causing yeast and fungus to grow on the toes.
11.
Bad Odour If your liver is full of fat, toxins can start
to build up in your blood and leach through the skin causing a very bad odour on the feet.
This can also be linked with intestinal damage and kidney problems.
12.
Yellowed Skin (Jaundice) Jaundice Feet Vector If the skin on your feet and the rest of your
body has a yellow tinge, or in the whites of your eyes then this is a sign that your
liver isn’t filtering out bilirubin properly, due to excessive liver damage.
Causes Of Liver Damage
Now that you are aware of the signs and symptoms of liver damage, let's take a look at what
usually causes liver problems.
And then we will explore 5 steps you can take to help repair/restore your liver.
Alcohol Perhaps the most obvious, drinking alcoholic
drinks damages the hepatic liver cells, because it has to remove the alcohol from your blood.
Sugar Another cause is eating too much sugar, refined
grains and carbohydrates
which all turn into blood sugar.
This is the most common cause of none alcoholic fatty liver disease and is accompanied by
weight gain around the stomach.
Medications
Certain medications and pain killers also damage the liver and the kidneys because they
have to work hard to remove the chemicals from your blood, especially statins and antibiotics
Vegetable Oils
Common vegetable oils and margarines and even salad dressings are made from seed oils that
are highly processed and cause massive amounts of inflammation in the liver.
I recommend replacing these with healthy fats like virgin olive oil or raw coconut oil.
High Protein
Finally if you have liver damage, eating too much protein can cause further problems because
it causes a build-up of nitrogen waste.
How To Protect/Repair My Liver
Now let's explore the 5 steps you can take to start healing and repairing your liver.
1.
Start consuming liver cleansing foods such as lemons, garlic, radishes, arugula, mustard,
brussels sprouts, cruciferous vegetables and other bitter vegetables.
Bitter foods contain antioxidants that help to improve liver function so that it can detoxify
harmful substances from your blood.
Secondly for a fantastic liver cleansing remedy you
2.
Mix 1 tablespoon of raw apple cider vinegar, 2 tablespoons of raw lemon juice and 1/2 teaspoon
of black seed oil in a glass of water.
Drink this mixture twice per day.
This drink helps to normalise your blood sugars, helping to clear the liver of fatty deposits.
3.
Stop consuming alcoholic drinks, sugary foods, vegetable oils and refined grains.
These all present toxins that cause inflammation in your liver and make it harder to break
them down.
4.
Take a supplement which contains purified bile salts (digestive enzymes).
2-4 capsules per day on an empty stomach.
This promotes the flow of bile from your liver and gallbladder.
This substance breaks down fat and turns toxins into harmless particles.
5.
Follow an intermittent fasting meal plan, where you eat all of your calories in a 5
hour window and fast for the remaining 19 hours.
This gives your liver the opportunity to clean out the blood and stimulates healing of the
liver cells.
Following these 5 key steps will help your liver to repair itself from existing damage
and inflammation.
If you have presented any of the signs or symptoms in this video, it's highly recommended
to visit your doctor for a check-up.
Liver damage is often silent and can go on for years unnoticed.
It usually starts off by the liver filling up with fat, and it becomes inflamed.
This then starts to form scar tissue can lead to permanent damage called cirrhosis.
