💚 Love Your Liver Month💚

Did you know your liver performs over 500 vital jobs to keep you alive? That’s why it’s so important to show it some love!

When damaged, the liver can repair itself — but only up to a point. Sadly, liver disease often has no symptoms in the early stages, meaning many people don’t realise there’s a problem until it has progressed.

You can help protect your liver by following these simple tips 👇
🥗 Eat a balanced, healthy diet
💧 Stay well hydrated
🍷 Minimise alcohol intake
💊 Take medications at the correct dose
🧼 Practice good hygiene to reduce the risk of hepatitis
