Liver
is the largest and the most important organ of our body. It is
metabolically the most complex organ in humans. Located in right upper
quadrant of the abdominal cavity just below the rib cage, this organ is
important because it has ability to regenerate its entire mass from just
25% of its original healthy part. Liver detoxifies the body, cleanses
the body, eliminates toxins by continuously filtering the blood. Liver
produces bile, another form of detoxification that is necessary to break
and assimilate fats and protein during metabolism. ‘Bile’ is a
digestive juice produced by liver that helps the body absorb fat into
the blood. During Carbohydrate metabolism, glucose is produced which is
stored in liver in the form of glycogen and thus during need of energy
this glycogen again gets converted to glucose giving energy. Even a
medicine that you pop in during headache breaks up in liver and produce
the desired effect.
