MILK THISTLE

  
SEVEN BENEFITS OF MILK THISTLE 

  
1) Liver Affinity
Milk thistle helps with general liver problems including jaundice (which is when the skin becomes discolored/yellow), hepatic pain, and swelling. Based on the novel "The One Earth Herbal Sourcebook," flavonoids discovered in milk thistle seed add to the significant liver regenerating and protecting qualities found in other parts of milk thistle. Flavonoids will have profound results on the body's immune system, thus boosting the body's ability to resist illness. They help stabilize cell membranes and control cell function. Milk thistle is also thought to be beneficial for the following problems: acute viral hepatitis, metabolic disease, continual-persistent hepatitis, and cirrhosis of the liver.
  
2) Cancer
Some early research into the herb also indicates that active materials in milk thistle might have anti-cancer effects. One active material called silymarin has powerful anti-oxidant qualities, and has been proven to inhibit the development of breast, human prostate, and cervical cancer cells in test tubes. More studies are required to ascertain whether the herb is efficient or safe for individuals with these kinds of cancer.
  
3) High Cholesterol
One animal study discovered that silymarin (an effective compound in milk thistle) worked as efficiently as the cholesterol-lowering drug probucol, with the added advantage of considerably raising HDL cholesterol. More studies in individuals are needed.

4) Gallstones and The Gallbladder
The silymarin mentioned above that is inside milk thistle can raise bile solubility, which encourages its circulation. When you need to avoid or remedy gallstones this could be quite useful. Gallstones are a lot less likely to form when the bile has better circulation. Researches demonstrate that routine use of milk thistle may result in a noticeable decrease of bile's cholesterol levels.

5) Obesity
Very few people recognize the function of the liver in fat reduction. Enhancing liver function is frequently neglected in almost all weight loss plans. The liver is significant for purifying the blood and metabolizing the fat in the body. As the liver's ability to function is being increased by silymarin, fat can end up being metabolized quicker. This means that as a result it's much easier for all of us to lose weight.

6) Our Skin
Skin is an essential organ for cleansing, and the biggest organ in the physique. Psoriasis is supposed to occur because of the existence of specific toxins within our bloodstream. There are a few bits of evidence that show the risk of psoriasis as having a potential connection to abnormal liver functions. Thus, as a result of helping the liver, one of the benefits of milk thistle is that it helps our skin to be healthier through increased liver function.

7) Weight Loss
Milk thistle has been used medicinally for about 2,000 years. It reportedly contains potent antioxidants that help to detoxify and repair the liver. According to Brenda Watson, author of "The Detox Strategy," enhancing your body's natural detoxification abilities helps to promote weight loss. However, you should seek medical advice before taking milk thistle, particularly if you have a medical condition.

Detoxification and Weight Loss
Your body is constantly under assault from toxins -- from the air you breathe, foods you consume or illness. When your body cannot properly remove toxins, they build up and disrupt metabolic functions including digestion and metabolism. For instance, toxins can reduce your body's fat-burning ability by up to 20 percent, notes Watson. By boosting toxin removal through detoxification and herbs such as milk thistle, you may help to restore metabolism and increase fat loss.
  
Active Ingredients in Milk Thistle
The three active ingredients in milk thistle are antioxidant flavonoids known collectively as silymarin. They protect the liver -- the chief detoxification organ in your body -- in several ways. They prevent free radicals from damaging liver cells, inhibit toxins from entering liver cells and also enable liver cells to regenerate more speedily. By keeping the liver healthy, milk thistle boosts its detoxification abilities, which in turn may enhance weight loss.

Milk Thistle and Blood Glucose Control
Silymarin can also help to lower fasting blood glucose levels, according to a study published in the journal "Phytotherapy Research" in 2006. By decreasing blood glucose levels, silymarin may also keep insulin levels more stable. High levels of insulin can encourage fat storage in your body. The flavonoid also helped to lower cholesterol and triglyceride levels, which are often elevated in people who are overweight or obese. High levels of these blood fats can also increase your risk of heart disease.

Dosage
Choose milk thistle supplements that contain a standardized dose of 70 to 80 percent silymarin, advises Leslie Beck, author of "The Complete A-Z Nutrition Encyclopedia." Your family doctor or a naturopath can recommend an appropriate dose to take, especially if you have a medical condition or you're pregnant or breastfeeding. Otherwise, follow the directions on the label.
