Liver Diet:

^{The ideal way to healthy liver, good health, and long life}

The liver is a complex organ with several vital functions, acting as a housekeeper and the poison control center. The liver is essential for digestion; regulates cholesterol and hormone levels; metabolizes fats, proteins, and carbohydrates; stores vitamins, enzymes, iron, and minerals; and detoxifies the blood. An ideal way to strengthen and promote liver function is through food. The purpose is to avoid food that the liver finds difficult to process.
