The liver is the largest organ of the body and the functions are so numerous and important that we cannot live without it. Here's a run-down:  

1. It produces heparin, prothrombin, and thrombin (controls bleeding).  

2. Its Kupffer's cells eat up bacteria and worn-out blood cells.  

3. It stores excess carbohydrates as glycogen (and releases it when the body's sugar goes down).  

4. It stores copper, iron, and vitamins A, D, E, K.  

5. It stores or transforms poisons (like alcohol and some drugs) into less harmful substances.  

6. It produces bile salts that emulsify or break down fats.  

Hope that helps.  :)

For most young adults, a moderate-intensity activity is similar to brisk walking and a vigorous-intensity activity is like jogging

<h3>What is moderate-intensity activity?</h3>

Moderate-power action is generally comprised of activities that get your pulse up to half to 60% higher than its rate when you are very still.

"Various gatherings have somewhat various suggestions," says Travers. "Yet, by and large, they exhort 150 minutes of the week, or around 30 minutes five days every week, of moderate-force movement. In the activity world, we consider this whatever gets your pulse up to 50 to 60% higher than your resting pulse."
