The liver is one of the most vital organs in the body. It is responsible for converting the food we consume into energy. 

The liver plays an important role in metabolism, and various other bodily functions like sugar storage, decomposition of red blood cells, protein synthesis, and detoxification. 

Besides these, the liver also secretes an alkaline compound called bile, which is a digestive juice that helps in the easy digestion of fats. It would be impossible to digest food or absorb nutrients from food without the liver. 

The best way of cleansing the liver naturally is by following a healthy diet. This will boost the health of the liver, allowing it to function properly.
