Our liver<\/a> has many vital functions in the body. Its most well-known role is detoxification. Digestion is a close second.<\/p>\n

Our liver is a master at metabolizing<\/a> drugs and harmful compounds from our bodily processes and environmental exposures. It then transforms them into non-toxic byproducts to be excreted. It also regulates<\/a> most chemicals in the body and filters all the blood leaving the stomach and intestines.<\/p>\n

As a digestive organ, the liver assists with breaking down and processing nutrients from foods. In fact, our liver cells produce about 800 to 1,000 ml of bile per day, which assists us in breaking down fats. Furthermore, it stores fuel and supplies nourishment to our cells when needed.<\/p>\n
