The Liver and Its Importance to Our Health
The liver is one of the largest and most important organs in the human body. It performs many essential functions that help keep us healthy. The liver helps filter harmful substances from the blood, produces substances needed for digestion, stores energy, and helps regulate important nutrients in the body.
Because of its many functions, taking care of the liver is an important part of maintaining overall health.
The image highlights the liver and shows several symptoms that can sometimes be associated with health problems.
These may include changes in the skin, itching, abdominal discomfort, unusual tiredness, loss of appetite, nausea, or changes in the color of the skin and eyes. However, these symptoms can have many different causes, and seeing one of them does not automatically mean that a person has liver disease.
