7 jobs only your liver can do (and how to help it)
#7 It helps blood clot
Finally, and this is a big one, the liver helps your blood clot after an injury to prevent hemorrhaging.

It is also one of the organs that break down old or damaged blood cells.
How to care for your liver
According to my colleague Dr. Isaac Eliaz:
