Hey Do you know about liver .....
The liver is the largest organ in your body. It is reddish-brown and is
about the size of a football in adults. The really amazing thing about
the liver is that if they took away half of the liver, it would grow back
in a few weeks!
The liver is a very important organ because it filters everything you
eat and breathe – even things that reach the surface of your skin. The
problem is that things such as alcohol, street drugs, cigarette smoke,
toxic fumes, some herbs and even some regular medicines you buy
without a doctor’s prescription can hurt your liver.
When you have chronic or long-term hepatitis B, the hepatitis B viruses
infect your liver and cause it to become damaged. After many
years, the liver can become so scarred and damaged that it just can’t
function very well. Hepatitis B can also lead to liver cancer.
So this is most about liver ...........anything you want to share .......
Thanku
Ganesh

Hi Ganesh44,
Yes and if people don't abuse their liver they will have a health life and will live longer, but I have never heard of herbs causing damage to the liver.

Hi
you have shared a very important information about Liver. In fact look at the other organs of our bodies, I wonder how carefully and efficiently they were build. Just imagine the preciseness. We can cause a damage to our organs but we can't dictate those organs to work as we want. I can't say my lungs to stop working for more than a minute. How much wonderfully these organs are organized by the creator.

IF YOU'VE BEEN A "LIVER UPPER" then as you get older your liver is going to be
a "Living Downer"!
