My Body My Temple

Think of your liver.  It sits in the upper right area of your abdomen, protected by your rib cage.  This reddish brown organ weighs about 2 kilograms and is does everything from help digest the French fries you ate last night, helps to heal the cut on your baby finger and stores that extra bit of glucose you used up running for the GO Train.  It’s a multitasker for sure.

Did you grimace after talking a phone call from your mother, your mother in law, your partner? Did you get pissed after stubbing your toe?
