Peace be upon you all.
Directly and without introductions: the liver is the most patient organ in the body, and the largest chemical and biological laboratory within it. It is responsible for performing more than five hundred vital functions without which life cannot continue.
Below are ten warning signs that tell you that you are in danger, and that your liver may be heading toward damage and cell death — God forbid — and this often happens in complete silence.
The first sign:
It comes from an unexpected place: your head. You may notice a clear disturbance in your biological clock and mental confusion. Instead of focus and vitality, you find yourself in a state of mental fog, forgetting the simplest things and finding difficulty in making decisions.
The reason is the accumulation of ammonia in the blood as a result of the liver’s inability to convert it into urea. These toxins then reach the brain and disrupt its functions and chemical balance. This imbalance also affects your sleep system, causing severe fatigue and drowsiness during the day, while sleep disappears at night, leading to chronic insomnia.
The second sign:
It appears on the legs in the form of strange spots and skin discoloration resembling rust. If you look above your ankle and notice small brown spots or clusters of red pigmentation similar to iron rust, this is not a simple skin problem, but rather a sign of poor blood circulation resulting from liver congestion. This is a very early warning sign that many people ignore.

The third sign:
You discover it when you extend your hand and look at the palm of your hand. You may notice redness in the palm, known as palmar erythema, where a pink or bright red color appears, especially at the base of the thumb and the little finger. This redness is not a sign of strong blood circulation, as some believe, but rather the result of the dilation of small blood vessels due to the liver’s inability to break down excess estrogen hormone.
The fourth sign:
The appearance of spider veins — which are fine networks of red capillaries that appear on the chest, neck, or shoulders. These vessels branch out from a central point and resemble spider legs. They appear as a result of increased pressure in the portal vein connected to the liver. This is a clear visual message that your body writes on your chest, meaning that the pathway inside the liver is blocked, and that the pressure has reached an unbearable level.
The fifth sign:
The color of the urine becomes very dark, resembling the color of tea or cola, even when drinking an adequate amount of water. At the same time, the color of the stool becomes pale, clay-colored, or light. This abnormal change in color occurs because the bile produced by the liver loses its correct pathway. Instead of reaching the intestines to color the stool and digest fats, it leaks into the bloodstream and exits through the kidneys.
The sixth sign:
Severe and persistent itching that does not leave you. You feel an urgent desire to scratch your skin, especially the palms of your hands and the soles of your feet. This itching worsens at night and prevents you from deep sleep. This is not a food or medication allergy, but rather the result of bile salts depositing directly under the skin. The body tries to expel these toxins through the skin because the liver is no longer able to eliminate them in the natural way.
The seventh sign:
Ascites and swelling of the lower extremities. You may notice, at the end of the day, clear swelling in your feet. If you press your finger on the leg or foot and the mark remains for several seconds, this is a dangerous sign. More dangerous than that is the appearance of a firm and prominent swelling in the abdomen.
This happens because when the liver becomes exhausted, it is unable to produce albumin, which is the protein responsible for keeping fluids inside the blood vessels. When albumin levels decrease, fluids leak into the tissues and the abdominal cavity.
The eighth sign:
Since the liver is the only factory for producing clotting factors, its malfunction leads to unexplained bruising and easy bleeding. You may wake up to find blue or purple bruises on your thigh or arm without remembering any injury. You may also notice slight bleeding from the gums when brushing your teeth. These bruises are messages written in blood under your skin, telling you that the body’s protective mechanism has stopped working.
The ninth sign:
Yellowing of the whites of the eyes, known as silent jaundice. The yellowing may begin at the corners of the eyes, turning the bright white into a pale yellow color. This is a clear indicator of the accumulation of bilirubin in the blood due to the liver’s inability to process it.
The tenth sign:
It emanates from deep within you: a distinctive earthy mouth odor. This smell resembles the scent of damp soil or light mold and has nothing to do with poor dental hygiene. It results from the liver’s inability to filter sulfur compounds from the blood, allowing them to exit through the lungs with exhaled air. If you notice this smell, it is a final and decisive warning from your liver that toxin levels in your blood have reached an extremely dangerous stage.
Regarding diet and lifestyle:
The number one enemy of the liver is industrial fructose sugar, which is found in soft drinks, packaged juices, and sweets. Hydrogenated vegetable oils and fried foods must also be completely avoided. These oils resemble liquid plastic, and liver enzymes find them difficult to digest, causing chronic inflammation in liver cells.
The liver prefers consuming cruciferous vegetables such as broccoli, cabbage, and arugula. It is recommended to add garlic to meals because it contains allicin, which helps cleanse the liver. Extra virgin olive oil, cold-pressed, works as a natural stimulant for the bile ducts, helping to eliminate waste.
Intermittent fasting is considered one of the most effective steps to revive the liver. During fasting, the liver naturally breaks down old fats and repairs damaged tissues.
Extreme caution must be exercised when using painkillers randomly, especially paracetamol (acetaminophen), because excessive use damages liver cells without the patient feeling it.
The liver performs most of its repair and detoxification processes during deep sleep in the early hours of the night. Staying up late deprives you of this vital repair process and raises cortisol levels, which adds extra pressure on the liver and increases fat accumulation in it.
Daily brisk walking stimulates blood circulation and helps the liver push toxins toward the excretory organs more efficiently.
The liver is an exceptional organ, a true miracle of creation. By the will of God, the liver can regenerate itself even after being exposed to severe damage, provided that it is given a calm environment, proper nutrition, and sufficient rest.
Today’s challenge:
Stand now in front of the mirror and carefully examine your eyes, hands, and legs. Then, for just one week, completely abstain from consuming white sugar and soft drinks. Replace them with a cup of warm water mixed with fresh lemon juice and one tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil daily on an empty stomach.
