Liver
HOW MUCH DO YOU LOVE YOUR LIVER?
How Can You Love it,
if You Don't Know it?
Hi... I'm Your Liver!
Let me tell you
how much I love you…in 9 ways
1. I store the iron reserves you need, as well as a lot of vitamins and other minerals.
Without me, you wouldn't have the strength to carry on!
2. I make bile to help digest your food.
Without me, you'd waste away to nothing.
3. I detoxify poisonous chemicals you give me, and that includes alcohol, beer, wine and drugs (prescribed and over-the-counter) as well as illegal substances.
Without me, your "bad" habits would kill you.
4. I store energy, like a battery, by stockpiling sugar (carbohydrates, glucose and fat) until you need it.
Without me, the sugar level in your blood could fall dramatically and you'd go into a coma.
5. I make the blood that got your system going even before you were born.
Without me, you wouldn't be here!
6. I manufacture new proteins that your body needs to stay healthy and grow.
Without me, you wouldn't grow properly!
7. I remove poisons from the air, exhaust smoke and chemicals you breathe.
Without me, you'd be poisoned by pollutants!
8. I make clotting factors that stop the bleeding when you accidentally prick yourself.
Without me, you'd bleed to death!

Good addition but someone from medical background should add here how can we keep the liver healthy, apart from drinking too much water.

Thanks OP!

Best way to keep liver healthy is to avoid fatty meals, irregular meals, keeping weight down, control diabetes, avoid alcohol, prevention from hepatitis.

Liver can take care of itself if not overburden with toxins and drugs. Even Tylenol/paracetamol in high doses damages liver.

(Liver does not really produce blood after birth in any significant amount, as can be misunderstood from first post)
