The Liver Can Produce Heat to Help Regulate Body Temperature
Your liver is one of the body’s biggest internal heat generators.
Because it performs hundreds of chemical reactions every minute—breaking down nutrients, detoxifying chemicals, and producing proteins—these metabolic processes release large amounts of heat.
In fact, the liver is responsible for a significant portion of the body’s internal heat production, helping maintain stable body temperature.
This is why the liver is sometimes described by physiologists as a “metabolic furnace” of the body.
