The liver is a large, meaty organ that sits on the right side of the belly and is responsible for many significant functions in our body.

Liver, the largest gland in your body, filters the blood that comes from the digestive tract, before passing it to the rest of the body. It receives about 30% of the blood that circulates through your body.

Liver diseases can be caused by a variety of factors, such as viruses and excess alcohol intake. Harmful chemicals can also be a cause of toxins in your liver. A healthy diet and a healthy lifestyle can help your liver. Following signs from your body will check your liver status.

Excessive drinking of alcohol will cause inflammation in your liver, and negatively affect your liver by accumulating a lot of fat in it.  When the liver doesn’t work properly, it will start storing the toxins in fat cells.
