Introduction of World Liver Day

Excluding the brain, the liver is the second biggest and most sophisticated organ in the human body. It is an important component of the human body's digestive system. The liver processes anything people consume, including medicines. One cannot function properly in the absence of one's liver. It is an organ that may be quickly affected if not proper care is taken for. Thus, World Liver Day is observed every year on April 19th to make people aware of liver-related diseases and promote liver health. Though being the body's second-biggest organ, it is also one of its most hardworking, separating good from bad, producing and preserving essential nutrients, and aiding with protein metabolism, which may help control our psychological disorders and fructose intake.
