The liver is responsible to detoxify toxins and store vitamins and minerals. It also regulates blood pressure, and maintains our body's temperature.
Is it not often that we hear people say "I feel sluggish today" and "my head feels heavier?" These symptoms could indicate problems with your liver.
Common signs include yellowing skin, dark urine, fatigue, nausea and vomiting, weight loss, stomach cramps (yellow coloration), itching, and jaundice (yellow colouration). But these aren't the only warning signs. You should immediately consult your doctor if you have any of these symptoms.

What is the most intriguing fact about the human anatomy?
There are two eyes, two ears. Two nostrils. Four limbs. A mouth, nose and penis. We have over 50 parts of our bodies. However, one thing is missing. A heart.
The heart is a pump that circulates blood throughout your body. The blood moves through the arteries and veins to transport oxygen and nutrients into the cells, and remove carbon dioxide.
Each minute, the heart pumps approximately 5 liters. This amount is equivalent to an adult drinking 2-3 cups of coffee daily.
The heart is constantly pumping blood, 24 hours a week, 365 day a year. While you are sleeping, your heart beats about 100 times per second.
The color of someone's skin can tell if they are healthy or not. If you examine the skin closely, you will see tiny blood vessels called capillaries. These vessels carry blood back to the heart from the large blood vessels beneath the skin. The skin turns purple or blue when there is a blockage in blood flow.
People with sickle cells lack red blood cell. They become very sick when their blood becomes hardened and sticky.
Bandages are used to stop bleeding after you have cut yourself. Blood must continue to flow to allow the wounds to heal properly. To do this, doctors insert a needle through the skin into the vein next to the injury. This allows blood flow to the area that has been injured.
Doctors can also insert catheters into the artery close to the area where the bloodclot has formed. This keeps the patient alive until the clot breaks up naturally.
What is the most mysterious area on earth?
Antarctica is one of the most mysterious places on Earth.
This is why we find it so captivating. Because it is unlike any place on Earth.
It is very remote and isolated. But there is more to this site than meets the eye.
These wild animals are also found in this natural wonder.
Let's see how this incredible destination became famous for its mystery.
Antarctica: The South Pole
Antarctica is not known by anyone. Others believe it means "land with ice". Some believe it means "land of ice". Others believe it is Greek mythology.
Antarktis is the name Antarktis was given to an island in ancient Greece by Zeus' twin brothers. One of the twins was said to have been born in winter. Thus, the term antarctic.
Others believe that the name comes from the Greek words anti meaning against and tropos meaning to turn. This would translate to land that is turned away from the sun.
No matter the reason, Antarctica is a place that has always fascinated people.
It is the driest, windiest of all continents. It is too cold for trees, plants and animals.
Yet, this frozen wasteland is alive.
About 90 percent of all living things on Earth live here. About 50% of the world's plant and animal species can be found here.
What makes Antarctica so special? Here, water freezes in ice rather that vaporizing into the atmosphere.
This results in large masses of ice floating above the ground.
These glaciers are responsible for covering 80% of the continent. And they're growing larger every year.
So far, the Antarctic ice sheet has grown 60 feet since 1960.
If the melting continues, sea level could rise up to 200ft. It could result in massive flooding all over the world.
But not everyone thinks this is bad news. Some scientists think global warming might be beneficial. They believe that global warming will lead to melting ice sheets faster and floods that can flush toxic chemicals out of our soils and bodies.
Others, however, warn that this theory sounds almost like a plot for a science fiction film.
Have you ever wondered how much trash is produced worldwide each day?
According to the United Nations the average person creates more than 2.5 lbs of waste daily. That adds up over 25 billion kilos of garbage every year.
Most of this trash ends up in landfill dumps or incinerators.But what happens when those dumpsters get full? Where does all that rubbish go?Well, most of it gets shipped out of the country. It is then dumped in other countries, where it pollutes their ecosystems.But now, thanks to the work of one man, we know exactly where all this trash goes. Mike Sexton is his name. He runs a company called Waste Watchers.He spends his days watching the movements of trucks transporting trash across North America. Then he reports back to us about what happens next.
Sexton stated that he finds the job very satisfying. CNN's Sexton said, "We have a lot to enjoy." "You know, we see these big rigs come through town, and we'll follow them. "Sexton began to follow truck drivers around 20 years ago.
"It's all I felt," he stated.
His favorite story involved a driver who pulled off at an abandoned gas station near Los Angeles. "The guy was looking for someplace to put his load," Sexton recalled. "He drove down the street and saw this building. He stopped and pulled up, then he went inside. "There were 2 large containers that had been rolled off, and they were full of stuff. The man got everything out of the truck and began filling it up again. "Then he looked at the place and decided to unload everything. There were tires, rags. furniture, mattresses. boxes, bottles, cans. It was a complete mess. But it had been cleaned out before he came along. There was no trash."
This begs the question: Why? It's because this area used to be a recycle center. People would drive from all over the country to recycle their trash. Sexton explained that they would bring household items and take them to the building. Then, after they were done, they would empty the containers.
It can happen hundreds of thousands of times per week. This can happen hundreds of times a week.Eventually, the truck becomes so overloaded with junk that it stops running. And eventually, the owner decides to abandon the vehicle.
Trash, however, isn't the only problem facing our planet.As you may have noticed, things are getting worse.According to experts, pollution levels have risen dramatically in recent years.More than half of all water bodies on Earth are polluted.Pollution from industrial chemicals has increased by more than 30 percent since 1980.Even the air we breathe is becoming increasingly toxic.A study by the World Health Organization found that the average person inhales around 100 million particles daily.
The majority of these particles are made of small pieces of plastic. Some of these plastics end up in rivers or oceans.
Experts warn that the world may soon face a shortage of food if we don't make any changes. Experts warn that if we continue to go the same way, we won't make it. However, scientists and most people aren't worried.
