Our Amazinh Human Body: THE LIVER

Hello to all my lovely readers!

Would you believe me If i say to you that your liver is one of the most complex and important organ of our body just as your brain?

Well my friends, this organ not only is responsible on cleaning the blood of toxic substances, it is also in charge of degrading the nutrients taken from food and providing the energy required for the body's fundamental functions.

In addition it serves as a storage site for minerals and vitamins and played a similar role in the metabolism of fats through the formation of bile, having a leader role in digestion and absorption of fats in the intestine.

Also the liver synthetize proteins and cholesterol and has an important role in an infinite number of metabolic processes that allows our body to work well.

So much work for a single organ!

Another incredible think about it is its ability to regenerate itself, it is the only organ of your body that can do that! So imagine this: you can donate a part of your liver and with time it is going to be as big and strong as you had it before.

But, when the liver is damaged we suffer from bad breath, headaches, fatigue, poor digestion, stress and the immune system declines, then some hepatics diseases will appear -like fatty liver and cirrhosis- and its ability of filter and store nutrients will be nullifield and will not regenerate its tissue, getting totally damage.

So, please! The next time you think in your liver, not only remember that it has the role of clean your body from alcohol and other toxins… Your liver is more than a cleaning machine and you need to take care of it. If it does not work as it should, all your systems will be compromised and harmed.

So I recommend adding to your diet antioxidant foods like apples, blueberries or tomatoes,  which are capable of protect cells from harmful waste free; Consume several servings a day of vegetables and fruits like kiwi, asparagus or grape which are able to clean the liver; 

Limit your intake excessive alcohol. And for the last but not less important, drink a lot of water per day. Doing all of this, your liver will be happy and functional.

I hope you have been as amazed by this organ as I am ...

                          See you next week!
