HealthDay - MONDAY, July 7 (HealthDay News) -- Pregnancy alone isn'tassociated with an increased risk of mental health disorders, a new studysays.The function of the liver is to detoxify, filter and clean the blood of poisonous waste and toxic matter; regulates blood volume, and destroy old red blood cells. The liver stores glycogen, vitamins, other substances, and the energy are released between meals. This process helps to regulate blood sugar levels and keep the energy level constance during the day.
The liver has to filter out dead cells, chemicals, drugs and debris. It is the largest organ in the body and maybe the most important. To protect the liver:

However, a balanced diet helps the liver to regenerate new liver cells. Many liver diseases are found among the malnutrition group. The Cleveland Clinic lists malnutrition as one of the causes for liver failure. However, diet alone will not cause liver disease.
Eating the proper nutrition along with other protecting sources will keep the liver healthy. In many liver diseases, nutrition is very important. 85%-90% of the blood leaving the stomach carries nutrients to the liver.

The liver can convert sugars into glycogen, which remains in the liver for quick energy. When there is a need, the liver releases the energy.
