One of my friend used to tell me that sleep late will eventually suffer of Liver disease or sickness. I know my sleeping routine is bad partly due to my work. No doubt late sleep may affect my health in long term. Still I managed to get at least 7 to 8 hours of sufficient sleep for years. Moreover it’s not a problem to me I guess.

But in Chinese “meridian” circulation system said our body has a “circadian clock” from 1am to 3am that schedule to detoxify and process the debris from our liver. Since late sleep during that hour may cause damage to the liver. I Think I am forced to choose between earlier sleeping method and stop working late to start a regular routine for beauty and health sake. That I promised myself I will do so and need to make it as a good sleeping habit. First thing first, is to banish my TV, works and computer out of bedroom then. Hopefully.

Liver is our body biggest organ. Maintain and protect our liver in good functioning and healthy is not easy. To prevent damages to our Liver, from awareness to prevention of taking the right foods, drinks and medicine plays an important role. Other than this,being overworked, irregular and unhealthy eating habits of junk foods, and stress may cause damages to our liver easily too. If eating too much of fatty foods, heavy drinking of alcohol, endocrine system disorders, obesity may also cause Fatty Liver disease.

Usually herbal remedies with green tea extract have proven result in preventing development of fatty liver. On a regular basic taking herbal tea is considered as prevention to me. As far as health concern, prevention is always primary and important role played by. Better not regret later if without proper cares.
