There is such a myth: once the titan Prometheus stole the fire for people from the gods of Olympus. They decided to punish the insolent man by chaining him to a rock, where eagles pecked his liver every day. They chose such a painful punishment for a reason: the ancients believed that the soul was hidden in the liver. Since then, a lot of water has flowed under the bridge, but the importance of this organ has not been diminished. Moreover, scientists and doctors have studied the properties of the liver inside and out, making sure that the general health of a person also depends on its condition.
This condition is directly influenced by the lifestyle. With age, the liver undergoes serious tests that negatively affect its functionality. Cleaning can improve the situation. There are enough methods for cleansing the liver, however, one of the most popular and effective is the method using olive oil.
What’s the secret
Olive oil has always been highly regarded for its choleretic properties. A small amount of the product was enough to force the gallbladder to contract, and the ducts to open as much as possible. In addition, it was found oleic acid – a substance that improves metabolic processes. Subsequently, thanks to her, the body is cleared of bad cholesterol, and the elasticity of the vascular walls increases significantly.
