The Liver

Well yes stopping the booze must be good for your health. There is the effects it has on your weight which over time people start to notice. But what about other health affects.

One organ that comes to mind, that of the Liver. Now I am not saying that I am anywhere near to having Liver Disease, but you always here of the damage alcohol can do to the Liver. So may be a break from alcohol can be a good thing. What is interesting about the Liver is its regenerative properties. According to the Wikipedia website "the human Liver is one of the few glands in the body that has the ability to regenerate from as little as 25% of its tissue." This is amazing when you consider the punishment we give it. So I am hoping that my Alcohol free Lent will help my Liver get back to some form of normality.
