  2. THE LIVER • It breaks down fat • Filters the blood • Produces cholesterol • Storage of vitamins • Produces amino acids • The liver can regenerate

  3. CIRRHOSIS OF THE LIVER • the liver slowly deteriorates • Scar tissue replaces healthy liver tissue, partially blocking the flow of blood • The liver can no longer do it’s job causing organ failure and can lead to cancer of the liver • Complications/death

  8. OSTEOPOROSIS • Thinning of bone tissue and loss of bone density over time • occurs when the body fails to form enough new bone • Throughout youth, the body uses calcium and phosphate to produce bones. • If you do not get enough of these minerals, bone production may suffer.

  9. OSTEOPOROSIS • During late adulthood the body may reabsorb minerals from the bones, causing them to weaken

  10. RISK FACTORS • Too little calcium in the diet • Low body weight • Excessive alcohol • Smoking • Vitamin D deficiency • Other illnesses & complications
