Hepatic! Like, hepatic system and all. Don't stress too much about the terms, just know your liver is super important, so take care of it! Maybe avoid too much oily food, haan?

Ah, the liver, such an important organ. Doctors call it 'hepatic'. My mother used to say, 'take care of your stomach and liver, and you take care of your whole body'. So true, always listen to your elders and doctors.
