Q&A
What are some tips for preventing liver fat accumulation?
Tips for preventing liver fat accumulation include engaging in steady-state cardio, reducing high fructose corn syrup and fructose intake, limiting saturated fat, managing stress, and considering a lower carb protocol.
How do unhealthy lifestyle and stress contribute to liver health, and what are the risk factors?
Unhealthy lifestyle and stress contribute to systemic inflammation and an increased risk of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. Overeating, sedentary behavior, and stress create a fine line between a healthy liver and a damaged liver.
What role do ketones play in promoting liver health, and what offer does Thrive provide?
Ketones may have anti-inflammatory effects, promoting liver health by reducing inflammation and cell damage. Thrive Market offers a 30% discount on your first grocery order and a free gift.
What is the dual effect of cortisol on inflammation and how does Thrive Market help?
Cortisol decreases inflammation in the periphery but can spike an inflammatory response in the liver. Thrive Market offers alcohol alternatives and lower carbohydrate foods, including ketogenic options to support liver health.
What are the effects of hypoxia at the liver level due to stress?
Hypoxia at the liver level due to stress causes an increase in reactive oxygen species and toxicity, which is further exacerbated by alcohol consumption, reducing the liver's ability to deal with the increased toxicity.
How does stress impact liver health?
Stress significantly impacts liver health by diverting blood from the liver, affecting its function and increasing the risk of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease.
- 00:00 Stress can significantly impact liver health, leading to non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. It diverts blood from the liver, affecting its function. Combatting stress is crucial for liver health.
- 01:43 Stress leads to hypoxia at the liver level, causing an increase in reactive oxygen species and toxicity. Alcohol consumption further reduces the liver's ability to deal with the increased toxicity.
- 03:24 Cortisol has a dual effect on inflammation: it decreases inflammation in the periphery but can spike an inflammatory response in the liver. Thrive Market offers alcohol alternatives and lower carbohydrate foods, including ketogenic options.
- 04:56 Ketones may have anti-inflammatory effects, promoting liver health by reducing inflammation and cell damage. Thrive offers a 30% discount on your first grocery order and a free gift. Liver inflammation can lead to cell necrosis, triggering an immune response.
- 06:26 Unhealthy lifestyle and stress contribute to systemic inflammation and increased risk of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. Overeating, sedentary behavior, and stress create a fine line between a healthy liver and a damaged liver.
- 08:13 Tips for preventing liver fat accumulation include steady state cardio, reducing high fructose corn syrup and fructose intake, limiting saturated fat, managing stress, and considering a lower carb protocol.
