The liver is one of the biggest organs in the body and also happens to perform some of the most important functions. Although it does a good job of supplying cells with essential nutrients while disposing of toxins, it could use a little extra help once in a while. Over time, waste can accumulate in the gallbladder and liver, where it remains stagnant and blocks bile flow. If this happens, it will manifest physical symptoms that let you know it’s time for a liver cleanse.

3 Signs You Need a Liver Cleanse

1. Bloating

Bloating is often the first sign that something is off in your digestive tract. If you always experience bloating after consuming the same kinds of foods, like those containing dairy or gluten, for example, it may be a sensitivity or allergy. If there does not seem to be any pattern to your bloating, though, or it remains constant, a liver cleanse may be in order. The bloating could be caused by stagnant waste or blocked bile. 

2. Fatigue 

It’s normal to feel overly tired on occasion, but distress in the gastrointestinal tract can cause persistent or recurring fatigue. Unfortunately, people often turn to quick fixes like caffeine to combat their fatigue. This kind of approach merely masks the symptom without actually addressing the underlying problem. By scheduling a liver cleanse, though, you can facilitate the digestive system so it functions as efficiently as possible, thereby rejuvenating the entire body, boosting energy, and eliminating fatigue. 

3. Sugar Crashes

Most people are aware of the role the pancreas plays in insulin production, but few realize the liver helps maintain blood sugar levels, as well. When your body needs sugar, the liver will use its stores to produce it. If you experience frequent sugar crashes, though, it essentially is working overtime. By scheduling a cleanse, you can give the liver a break, which may help restore your body's natural metabolic processes and maintain blood sugar levels.
