👉Good news is Liver repairs & regenerates it's tissue. Therefore unlike kidney, liver disease of earlier stage can be reversible if we address its care in a holistic way.

👉Few metabolic issues when we forget to look into Liver Care. But if we focus on liver tissue repair & regeneration, we can reverse these problems :
E.g.
1. High Cholesterol
As liver loses its efficiency to metabolize fats, cholesterol remains unfiltered showing high level in blood lipid profile.
We try to manage cholesterol with medicines and by reducing cholesterol food. But it remains either temporary or unresolving solution.
2. Vit.D Deficiency
Liver plays important role in vitamin D synthesis into its active form. Therefore only vit. D dosage is not useful unless liver is able convert it into its functionally active form.
3. Indigestion Issues like Bloating, Constipation
