Liver is one of the largest internal organs in the human body. This is extremely essential for digesting food and ridding your body of toxic substances. The blood leaving the stomach and intestines passes through our liver. When they reach the liver, the blood gets processed and breaks down balances, creates the nutrients, and also metabolises medicines that are easier to use for the rest of the body or that are non-toxic. It is such an important organ for us that we can’t live without a working liver. Damages occurring to liver health can be reversed if detected and treated in the initial stages.

So, if you think your liver is safe and you’re not at risk, take this liver functioning quiz, especially designed by Dr Manoj Kutteri, Medical Director, Atmantan Wellness Centre, for HealthShots.
