3 Surprising Tasks Your Liver Performs

Without a doubt, the liver is one of the most important and hard-working organs in our body. The liver performs over 500 functions in combination with other systems and organs and enables other organs to do their job. In this newsletter, we review the three less known but nevertheless vital functions that the liver performs.

Producing energy Maintaining the body´s temperature Regulating sexual function

Producing energy

Metabolism is an essential liver function. The liver is responsible for breaking the nutrients down and converting them into energy. Metabolized nutrients are stored in the liver in the form of glycogen and when the body needs some extra energy, the liver converts glycogen back to glucose to give the body a required energy boost.

Maintaining the body´s temperature

The liver is busy performing its functions non-stop. The liver´s activity generates warmth which is distributed through the blood vessels around the body and thereby helps the body maintain its optimal temperature.

Regulating sexual function

Regulating hormone balance including hormones responsible for our sexual desire is one of the most essential liver functions. When the liver function is impaired, hormones cannot be properly metabolized and absorbed in the body which leads to hormone imbalance. This can lead to reduced sexual desire, low libido, and mood fluctuations.
