The liver is an important internal organ that performs many complex functions in the body. It should be said that it is the largest gland in the body. The liver plays a major role in keeping the body clean by processing waste and other unwanted substances. Bile is produced in the liver for digestion.
The production of lipoproteins that help cholesterol move through the blood and the production and processing of cholesterol takes place in the liver cells. What sets the liver apart from other organs is its ability to heal itself and regenerate its own strength. Fatty liver is a health problem that affects the health and function of the liver.
Fatty liver is a condition in which fat accumulates in the liver. Due to the activity of fat filling the liver, the cells are damaged and swollen, which later causes many other liver diseases. All the food we eat is broken down into components like glucose and absorbed into the body. All of these reach the liver where the body stores the glucose it needs and stores the rest into the cells.
