Your Liver: The Unsung Digestive Hero

Did you know your liver performs over 500 essential functions daily, including processing everything we eat and drink? From breaking down fats, to neutralizing toxins and processing nutrients, it's always working hard to keep you healthy.

Support your liver by fueling up with liver-healthy foods that help this superhero organ maintain strength to do its best work:
🥦 Plenty of colourful fruits and vegetables
🍗 Lean proteins
🥑 Healthy fats (think salmon, avocado, and extra-virgin olive oil!)
🌾 Whole grains

These nutrition choices provide the energy your liver needs to help digest, process, and filter out anything our bodies don’t need! Explore liver-friendly recipes and tips at liver.ca/recipes.

📰 In the news today: Liver health is making headlines — and for a good reason.

A recently shared CBC story highlights new research published in Clinical Gastroenterology and Hepatology showing that serious liver disease rates have doubled over the last 20 years, with alcohol use playing a major role.

Women, older adults, people with lower incomes, and those with metabolic conditions face the highest risk.

As drinking habits shift, it's critical to understand the impact alcohol can have on your liver. Knowing your limits and making informed choices can go a long way in protecting your liver health. If you're unsure about your level of alcohol consumption, check out the Canadian Centre for Substance Use and Addiction's Guidelines to help you make informed decisions about your health.

But it’s also a reminder to take preventative action: get the hepatitis A and B vaccine, get tested, or simply take the time to learn more about your liver and how it functions. When it comes to viral hepatitis, prevention and early detection is key.

🍼 What colour is your baby’s urine?

It might seem like a small detail, but the colour in your baby’s diaper can offer important clues about their liver health.

If you notice dark yellow or brown urine, it could be a sign of liver disease and it’s important to speak with your baby’s doctor. A quick diaper check can go a long way in catching early signs of liver complications.

🎉 Here’s to a year of liver learning! 🧠💚

As the 2024/2025 school year wraps up, we are celebrating the incredible students who explored the world of liver health and had a blast doing it!

📚 This school year we proudly launched our LIVERight School Program, an interactive workshop aimed to educate the next generation about the importance of liver health and practical ways to keep it healthy! Through interactive and engaging lessons and hands-on activities, students gained the knowledge and tools to make informed health choices for life.

It's been a fantastic year for liver learning, and we're just getting started! We’re excited to expand this program in the upcoming school year!

🙌Thank you to every school, educator, and student who joined us on the first part of this program’s journey!

💩Does your baby have suspicious stools? The colour of your baby’s stool can be an early clue about their liver health. While it might not be something we think about every day, pale or clay-coloured stools could be a sign of a liver condition and should be checked by your doctor.

Next time you’re changing a diaper, note the colour – it matters, and your attention could make all the difference 💚.

🧬 What is Progressive Familial Intrahepatic Cholestasis (PFIC)?

PFIC is a rare and genetic liver disease that affects the organ’s ability to produce and secrete bile properly.

Early signs can be easy to miss, but recognizing them can lead to earlier diagnosis, more effective treatment, and a better quality of life.

If you or someone you love is showing any suspected signs or symptoms of PFIC, speak to a healthcare provider. Early detection can make all the difference in the long-term treatment against genetic liver diseases 💚
