THE IMPORTANCE OF LIVER HEALTH FOR OUR METABOLISM

The liver is the central metabolic organ because it breaks down, stores and converts ingested substances. It can break down and store fats ingested with food. It also produces cholesterol, from which vital hormones and building blocks of cell walls are created. The liver stores sugar from food in the form of the storage molecule glycogen. The liver therefore influences our blood sugar levels. Healthy liver function is therefore also important for preventing or alleviating diabetes. The liver is an extremely important storage organ because it stores vitamins such as the B vitamins or fat-soluble vitamins E, D, A and K. The organ also stores vital trace elements such as copper and iron. The liver releases these micronutrients when required. The liver is also responsible for the formation of important proteins for the body and produces bile, which is essential for breaking down dietary fats. A vital liver function is the breakdown and neutralization of old blood components, hormones, medications and toxins, among other things. The organ achieves this with the help of special enzyme complexes.
