Love Your Liver

Give your liver a long and healthy life

Unlike kidneys, there’s only one liver. A liver is an organ that performs vital functions in the body, but it is hardly given attention as equal to any other organs. There are too many liver diseases and, each one can lead to serious medical conditions or liver failure. To avoid such conditions, you should care for your liver and take some important measures.

Be careful of what you consume

What should I eat?

A well-balanced diet is key to keep your liver function properly. For a complete diet, eat colourful fruits and vegetables to provide your body with the required nutrients. Also, never forget to drink water as it is the only best formula to stay hydrated.

Pick leafy or green vegetables, berries, beans, whole grains, healthy fat such as avocados and low-fat dairy products. Cinnamon is a great option to curb inflammation in the body and is full of antioxidants. You can also pick power food like salmon as it is one of the best sources of omega-3 essential fatty acids.

What should I not eat?

Avoid added sugars, saturated and trans fats, alcohol as well as high in salt foods. Also, stay away from fatty meats, cakes, cookies and fried foods to avoid bad fat.

Be active and exercise

Ditch the modern-day facilities to some extent and prefer the old way of living. Go for morning or evening walks, replace elevator by stairs, practice indoor activities and do household chores to stay fit. Along with healthy eating, a decent amount of exercise will keep your liver happy.

Lose those extra kilos

Obesity leads to a fatty liver, which can cause chronic liver disease. The liver fat is considered normal only when it is between five per cent and 10 per cent. Once the fat crosses the limit, it increases the chances of fatty liver disease. There are strong chances of inflammation, cirrhosis, liver cancer and liver failure. You can fight this problem by implementing the right diet and exercise. Keep in mind that sleep deprivation and emotional eating also lead to weight gain. Avoid them completely.

Give someone a new life

The day you register yourself as a liver donor, you will start your march towards saving someone’s life. You can be a donor even if you are struggling with a health issue and in your 90s. After a few tests, you can register yourself as a donor to help others get a new life.

Get tested for hepatitis C

It’s an infection caused by a virus attacking the liver and sometimes it is tough to understand the symptoms of hepatitis C. The best way to detect it is through scanning, Even if the test result is positive, some treatments can cure it only when the step is taken on time.
