Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]

If the liver is not functioning properly, what would most likely be the result?

A	food would not be able to move into the small intestsine
B	fats would not be digested
C	water would not be absored
D	it would not affect digestion

Explanation:

Detailed explanation-1: -Fats or lipids are broken down in the liver for use as energy. They are then moved to fat tissue. More than 90% of body energy is stored here and is the main source of fuel storage for the body. Fats are insoluble in blood and water and so the liver produces special, fat-carrying proteins called lipoproteins.

Detailed explanation-2: -When the liver is overburdened and consequently unable to metabolise nutrients and fats properly it slows down metabolism leading to more serious health issues as well as weight gain and lethargy.

Detailed explanation-3: -Your liver continually produces bile. This is a chemical that helps turn fats into energy that your body uses. Bile is necessary for the digestive process.
