But they are particularly important in skin health. Since the blood is constantly filtered by our liver, toxins that are not caught and eliminated will find its way into the body. Since the body must get rid of these toxins somehow, it can choose your skin as that path. By focussing on the paths of elimination, we can help reduce the amount of toxins that enter the bloodstream, reducing the possibilities of skin disorders. Toxic accumulation will result in the formation of free radicals.
Free radicals are mutant cells that leech on other healthy cells, depleting essential nutrients.
This is one of the main reasons for pre-mature aging. The body burns up these nutrients much faster, not allowing proper assimilation. Free radical damage can be controlled and kept to the minimum by antioxidant nutrients. The liver produces one of the most important digestive fluids, called bile and stores it in the gall bladder for later use. The bile salts aid the emulsification of fat molecules.
