Every 28 July, we unite for World Hepatitis Day — not just to raise awareness, but to protect the ones we love from a disease that often stays silent until it turns life-threatening.

Hepatitis is known as a silent disease for a reason. Many live with it unknowingly, and by the time symptoms appear, significant damage may already be done.

But here’s the good news: 𝗜𝘁’𝘀 𝗽𝗿𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲.

And one of the easiest places to start is with your plate.​

The food you choose can help reduce inflammation, support liver function, and prevent long-term complications. It doesn’t take drastic changes — just small, consistent steps.​

Your liver works hard for you, every single day. Let’s return the favor — with awareness, with love, and with action. 💚

Need personalized guidance? Our dietitian is here to help with nutrition tips tailored to your liver health.​
