The end-of-year holidays have just ended, and you’re not feeling at your best? So you’re wondering if you didn’t overindulge during the holidays and if your liver isn’t overloaded after the quantities of food you ingested? A nutritionist reveals the signs you need to pay attention to!
The holidays aren’t known for being quiet when you think about food and alcohol. This period is very often associated with numerous excesses which can unfortunately be bad for your health, particularly for your liver. If we already know that the liver is very sensitive to consumption rich in fat and alcohol and that this small organ can take up to two hours to get rid of a single glass of alcohol, it is important to take care of it.
An expert and dietician, Pauline Gouth explains how the liver works, especially when it is overworked: “You have to imagine that the liver already has a large pile of work on a daily basis. If we add more to it, without giving it rest in between, it will be forced to delegate and send these wastes and toxins to other organs.“. So, how do we recognize when our liver is a little overloaded after the end-of-year holidays and how do we know that it’s struggling to function well? The specialist gives some advice on how to recognize the signs that may concern us and what we should do if we experience these symptoms. We’ll explain!

Signs that should alert you
Even though the liver has very good regenerative capacities, it remains an organ that can become exhausted if it is not taken care of. A consequence which will then impact our entire body since toxins will accumulate and nutrients will be poorly assimilated. Pauline Gouth, nutritionist and dietician reveals these nine signs you should pay attention to after eating several meals high in fat or alcohol. If you feel one of these signals or several of them, she advises embarking on a good detox treatment over several days in order to set the record straight:
- Digestion problems or discomfort
- Unexplainable chronic fatigue and drowsiness
- Headache
- Decreased appetite
- Difficulty concentrating and mood changes
- Repeated bloating and gas
- Broken pimples and blemishes and itches
- Acid reflux
- A pale complexion and yellow, dark-circled eyes
So, if you experience one or more of these symptoms in the coming days, the specialist recommends favoring a certain list of foods to favor the day after the holidays, with plants at the top of the list! We avoid rich and fatty foods and opt for balanced meals with vegetables, mainly green vegetables, at least once a day. She also advises putting aside starchy foods for four to five days and drinking plenty of water and infusions in order to drain as much as possible. Finally, don’t forget to rest, it’s always pleasant!
