Our Amazing Human Body

For me, one of the most incredible organs of our body is the liver, since it has multiple functions that are vital for our life.

The liver is located in the upper right part of our abdomen, under the diaphragm, it has a triangular shape and weighs about 1.5 kilos.

As I said before, the liver is responsible for several tasks in our body, such as the segregation of bile that helps in the digestion of fat, it also stores vitamins and glycogen, and one of the most important for me, that cleans our blood of harmful substances.

Unfortunately, this organ is also a target of diseases such as hepatitis A, B and C, cirrhosis, hemochromatosis and even cancer. These diseases can affect the liver in different ways, such as change of color and odor in the urine and feces or swelling of the legs and abdomen.

To avoid these problems, it is important to keep our liver healthy. Some tips to have our liver healthy are to avoid alcohol intake. Another way is to have a healthy diet, since obesity is also a great factor to lead to liver problems. And finally, get vaccinated against hepatitis, which are diseases that can be spread in different ways (through blood or sex for example).
