The Liver
A Vital Organ We Must Not Overlook
Liver Day is an opportunity to reflect on the importance of this vital organ, which is often overlooked until something goes wrong.
👩🏻⚕️👨🏻⚕️As part of a dedicated medical and nutritional team, we want to emphasize that taking care of the liver is essential for maintaining overall health💯
The liver is the most metabolically active organ in the body and performs over 500 essential functions. Some of the most important include:
🧬Nutrient metabolism: processes carbohydrates, fats, and proteins so the body can use them.
🍷Detoxification: filters harmful substances, medications, and alcohol.
⚡️Energy storage: stores glycogen, vitamins, and minerals for later use.
🥑Bile production: necessary for the digestion and absorption of fats.
🥜Protein synthesis: including albumin and clotting factors.
🫠Liver diseases such as fatty liver, hepatitis, or cirrhosis often progress silently. This is why maintaining a balanced diet, a healthy weight, limiting alcohol consumption, and engaging in regular physical activity are essential pillars of prevention.
At Consultorio Boutique, we offer comprehensive care, where highly qualified specialists work together as a multi and interdisciplinary team to provide a personalized approach that supports you on the journey to protect or improve your liver health🩺🤍
