Your liver works hard behind the scenes—but in the Pacific, our love for rich food, kava, and drinks can overwork it. Here are five red flags your liver may be waving.

🟡 𝟏. 𝐘𝐨𝐮’𝐫𝐞 𝐓𝐢𝐫𝐞𝐝 𝐀𝐥𝐥 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐓𝐢𝐦𝐞

Persistent fatigue—even with rest—can signal liver overload. When your liver is struggling, toxins linger longer, draining your energy.

🟢 𝟐. 𝐁𝐚𝐝 𝐁𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐡 𝐓𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐖𝐨𝐧’𝐭 𝐐𝐮𝐢𝐭

Liver issues can cause “fetor hepaticus”—a sweet, musty breath caused by poor detoxification. It’s often mistaken for poor oral hygiene.

🟤 𝟑. 𝐃𝐚𝐫𝐤 𝐔𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐞 & 𝐏𝐚𝐥𝐞 𝐒𝐭𝐨𝐨𝐥𝐬

These are classic signs your liver isn’t processing bile properly. If these persist, seek medical advice immediately.

🔴 𝟒. 𝐘𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐁𝐞𝐥𝐥𝐲 𝐅𝐞𝐞𝐥𝐬 𝐅𝐮𝐥𝐥 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐓𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭

Swelling or a heavy feeling in the upper right side of your belly can be early signs of liver inflammation or fat buildup.

🟣 𝟓. 𝐈𝐭𝐜𝐡𝐲 𝐒𝐤𝐢𝐧 𝐖𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐍𝐨 𝐂𝐚𝐮𝐬𝐞

Liver problems can cause bile salts to build up under your skin—leading to intense, unexplained itching.
