The liver is an internal organ that performs many functions in the body. The liver is said to perform over 500 functions. This organ can also be called the chemical laboratory of 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 liver also produces lipoproteins that help cholesterol move through the blood. The liver differs from other organs in that it can heal itself and regenerate its own strength when damaged. But some diseases affecting the liver impair its function. Fatty liver is one of the most important.
This is a fatty condition in the liver where excessive accumulation of fat causes cell damage and swelling, which can later lead to fatal liver diseases such as cirrhosis. This condition, which used to be seen only in alcoholics, is now more common in non-alcoholics and young adults. Some of the causes are obesity, high cholesterol and uncontrolled diabetes.

Along with physical health, mental health also needs to be given some attention. Stress, tension and lack of sleep lead to many health problems. Watch the full video to understand more about it.
