The Liver Foundation states, "It is much more likely that poor nutrition is the result of
chronic liver disease, and not the cause." 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 processes and converts
carbohydrates, proteins, fats, and minerals to maintain body functions and secrete
about a quart of bile each day, a digestive fluid with salt to aid in digestion. 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.

When amino acids reach the liver, they are released to the muscles for energy or are
stored for later use and the rest is converted and excreted in the urine. Amino acids
are proteins in their simplest form.

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
