Is liver good for health?

I'm trying to improve my overall diet and have heard some people rave about eating liver for its health benefits. Is liver really good for general health? Just wondering if I should start including it in my meals.

Though I am a strict vegetarian, I know from scientific facts that liver is extremely high in nutrients like vitamin B12 and iron. But you must remember it is also very concentrated in toxins if the animal wasn't raised well. For vegetarians, spinach, beetroot, and lentils are much safer options anyway.

Liver is healthy, but if you are eating it because you feel constantly tired or pale, please don't just rely on diet. I ignored my extreme fatigue for six months thinking it was just work stress, and it turned out to be a severe internal issue. Get a full body checkup done first.

I have PCOS and I read that liver is great for fatigue because of the high B vitamins. However, because our hormones are already so sensitive, I try not to eat it too often to avoid excess vitamin A, which can sometimes be tricky. Please check with your dietician before making major changes.

From a nutritional density perspective, liver is basically nature's multivitamin. I log my meals on HealthifyMe and a single 100g serving of liver easily hits my weekly target for Vitamin A and B12. Just keep an eye on your cholesterol levels if you consume it regularly.

It is very good for physical weakness and building blood, especially if you have recently recovered from a long illness. My mother used to make mild liver soup for us when we felt weak. Just don't put too much red chili or heavy spices, keep it light so your stomach can digest it easily.

Haan na, it is very good for health, especially for kids who are growing or have low weight. Hamare yahan toh non-veg khane wale isse thoda soup banakar peete hain for strength. Bas clean check karke achhi jagah se lena chahiye.
