Lessons from Jon Barron
The Importance of Your Liver

  

In this week's excerpt from Lessons from the Miracle Doctors, Jon Barron expounds on the importance of your liver – one of the most fascinating organs in your body.

Daily Health Tip Image"Our liver is the primary filter of our body. Good health is impossible without proper function of the liver. Unfortunately, over time, we so abuse and overtax it that illness is the inevitable result.

Next to the skin, the liver is the largest organ in the body. In many ways, it is the most important organ, and the last to be considered when it comes to health. In addition to being large, the liver is also a complicated organ involved in at least 200 separate functions. Generally speaking, the liver performs a vital role in regulating, synthesizing, storing, secreting, transforming, and breaking down many different substances in the body. Specifically, these functions include:

  • Regulation of fat stores.
  • Cleansing the blood and discharging waste products.
  • Neutralizing and destroying poisons.
  • Protein metabolism, including manufacturing of new body proteins.
  • Metabolizing alcohol.
  • Managing chemicals and drugs in the blood.
  • Aiding the digestive process by the production of bile.
  • Helping the body resist infections by producing immune factors and by removing bacteria from the bloodstream.
  • Storing vitamins, minerals, and sugars.
  • Production of quick energy when needed.
  • Controlling the production and excretion of cholesterol.
  • Maintaining hormone balance.
  • Regenerating its own damaged tissue."
