Keeping your liver healthy and strong is one of the most important steps you can take to maintain overall wellness. This critically hard-working organ, which is located in the right abdominal area, has been called the “laboratory of the body,” and for many good reasons. Researchers estimate that the liver performs over 500 functions in the body. Some of these include:
- Filtering all food and liquids, assimilating and distributing nutrients, and removing toxins and waste products.
- Creating bile, necessary for digestion of fats and other substances
- Burning and metabolizing fat in the body
- Regulating hormones
- Purifying the blood and removes damaged blood cells
- Performing many necessary circulatory functions
- Balancing blood sugar
- Regulating fluid levels in the body
- Storing and distributing vitamins, minerals, and other crucial nutrients
- Boosting the immune system
