Liver Health

Our liver is a truly incredible organ weighing around 1.4 kilograms, situated in the upper right quadrant of the abdominal cavity.

Its main function is to ‘filter’ our blood  and rid our body of various toxins and waste products. It also behaves like a central chemical processing factory too and carries out thousands of complex bio-chemical reactions to maintain a healthy metabolism.

However, the live is an organ that is prone to fatty deposits within its structure, and this can later give rise to much more serious health issues, leading eventually to cirrhosis of the liver, a life threatening disease, with few successful treatment outcomes. Looking after our liver should be a priority for all of us, but how do we do this and what are the signs we should be looking out for?
