Your Liver Can Regrow Itself Like a Starfish
The liver is the only human organ that can completely regenerate, even if 70% of it is removed.
- Ancient Greek myths, like the story of Prometheus, were actually inspired by this unique ability.
- Surgeons can remove part of a liver for a transplant, and both the donor’s and recipient’s livers will grow back to full size within 8–10 weeks.
Why it matters:
Your liver is your body’s detox powerhouse — protecting it from excess alcohol, sugar, and toxins is vital to longevity.
