*Disclaimer*: In no way, I'm an expert in medicine or medical science. I wrote this informal essay based
|

|
on my research in order to help myself. Read it with a grain of salt. Consult a doctor and do you own research
|

|
as well.

Years ago I used to be a professional basketball player, playing as a point guard. Some day, I broke my foot
|
|||
|
in a match and I had to stay home for about 6 month. Back then, I thought eating more food equals to a
|
|||
|
faster recovery from my injury ( Yeah I know I was young ). Before the injury, I was about 73Kg, and
|
|||
|
after, I turned into a 117Kg ( Wow I knooww) monster.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Long story short afterward I tried really hard to lose weight, I couldn't lose a considerable amount of weight.
|
|||
|
As may most of you experienced before, might lose weight in while we're on a diet, but the lost weight will find
|
|||
|
its way back when the diet finishes.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
After 3 years of that incident, I started *Kyokushin Karate*, one of the most brutal, heavy and tough sports
|
|||
|
possible. Also I was in a diet most of the time. I lost weight a lot but as soon as I ended the diet, I
|
|||
|
gained that lost weight again. I always was curious why is that ? Why as soon as I end the diet I gain weight
|
|||
|
again even though I'm trying really hard. A week ago I found out the truth behind this problem.The liver,
|
|||
|
is the most important body part responsible for storing extra energy of food as fat, and burn fat and
|
|||
|
produce energy when body needs it. In this era, when people eat fast foods, breath poisonous air pollution
|
|||
|
instead of clean air and lots of other reasons, Most of us are suffering from a fatty liver in different
|
|||
|
levels. A fatty liver can't do its job perfectly, So it can't burn fat correctly and that's because
|
|||
|
after a diet people gains weight again. No matter how hard they try.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
* OK, now what's can we do ? :Life:Health:
|
|||
|
First of all, physical workout and training is very helpful for your liver and help you burn more fat.
|
|||
|
Second of all fatty liver have much more fat stored in its cells which causes huge damage to the liver.
|
|||
|
In order to heal the damaged cells, there are several drugs and medicines which you should take, For example:
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
- Vitamin E
|
|||
|
- Selenium
|
|||
|
- Betaine
|
|||
|
- Metformin
|
|||
|
- Rosiglitazone
|
|||
|
- Pioglitazone
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Using these medicines we can easily heal our liver cells within a 3 month period. Also there is an other
|
|||
|
material which has a really incredible effect. [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silybum_marianum][Silybum marianum]] is a kinda rare plant which grows mostly in
|
|||
|
dry places. Silybum marianum is one of the well known rich sources for milk thistle.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Research suggests that milk thistle extracts both prevents and repairs damage to the liver from toluene and/or
|
|||
|
xylene. Workers who had been exposed to vapors from toluene and/or xylene for 5–20 years were given either
|
|||
|
a standardized milk thistle extract (80% silymarin) or placebo for 30 days. The workers took the milk thistle
|
|||
|
extract, showed significant improvement in their liver function tests (ALT and AST) and platelet counts vs
|
|||
|
the placebo group.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
LiverGol is a commercial supplement which contains a great deal of Silybum marianum. There isn't any known
|
|||
|
side effect for this supplement[fn:1][fn:2]. I easily healed my liver using.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
I tried to summarize everything and avoid blabbing, So long story short the key to a successful diet
|
|||
|
is to have a healthy liver.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
-----
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
[fn:1] At least I couldn't find any side effect.
|
|||
|
[fn:2] I don't have any affiliation with the company behind LiverGol.
