How the liver works
Weighing in at about 3 pounds, the liver has a lot of important jobs.
Your liver eventually processes everything you eat. After your stomach and
intestines finish digesting food, it travels through your bloodstream to your
liver for filtering.
The liver breaks down fat to release energy. It produces a yellow-green
substance called bile to help your body break down and absorb fat.
This organ is also involved in sugar metabolism. It pulls glucose from your
blood and stores it in the form of glycogen. Anytime your blood sugar level
dips, the liver releases glycogen to keep your levels steady.
When alcohol, medications, and other toxins make their way to your liver,
they’re pulled from your blood. Then your liver either cleans up these
substances, or removes them into your urine or stool.
