Did you know that the liver is responsible for over 500 vital functions in the body? Or that, in addition to its role as a metabolic engine, it helps detoxify the body? Did you know that a liver that is overloaded with toxins can become sluggish and overworked and this affects nearly every part of the body? If you didn’t don’t worry – you are not alone. Most health professionals call the liver the “forgotten” organ because we are generally un-aware of its many important functions. Lets fix that, shall we?

Here are a few facts worth knowing about our liver. The Liver –

Know Your Liver:

Liver is the biggest and the most complex organ in the body with more than 500 functions
The liver is an "incredible chemical factory," producing many important chemical compounds needed to survive, such as bile, albumin, blood clotting factors, cholesterol, Vitamin E.
Converts amino acids (proteins) and lipids into glucose, a complex process catalyzed by a series of enzymes
Plays a major role in maintaining normal blood sugar levels, an important source of energy for the brain, heart and muscles.
Performs numerous other functions such as regulating lipids or metabolizing prescribed and over the counter drugs, alcohol, and many other ingested chemicals such as caffeine, etc.
Helps digest the food we eat and assists in ridding our body of many toxins.
Eliminates various harmful chemicals from the body. Treats about 1,300 ml of blood per minute, thereby acting as the body's "garbage disposal."
Contrary to popular belief, individuals who consume large amounts of alcohol aren’t the only ones at risk from liver damage – even those who do not drink are also at risk.

“In a world filled with hazardous pollutants and toxins, it is not surprising that an estimated 25 million Americans – one in every 10 – have difficulties in maintaining optimum liver function.”

- American Liver Foundation

Liver dysfunctions may take many forms

4,000,000 people have Hepatitis C in the United States, causing 10,000 deaths every year.
Cirrhosis of the liver is the eighth leading cause of death in the United States - kills 25,000 people per year.
Commonly prescribed cholesterol-lowering medications such as statins (e.g. Lipitor), among many other chemical drugs, are known to be toxic to the liver.
Widely taken OTC medications are not as safe as they seem. For example, Acetaminophen (e.g. Tylenol) can be toxic to the liver and its toxicity can be accentuated by alcohol.
The American Journal of Emergency Medicine, notes that in one year, hospitals treated over 26,765 patients for alcohol toxicity and another 16,635 for Acetaminophen (Tylenol) toxicity.
Fatigue, aches, and pain in joints and muscles, frequent headaches, stress and appetite fluctuations may be signs of an over-worked liver.
