As Liver Awareness Month wraps up, remember that prevention and early detection save lives. Talk to your provider about screenings and ways to protect your liver year-round.

💚 Simple lifestyle changes can go a long way for your liver health! 💚

🍎 Eat a Balanced Diet: Focus on fruits, vegetables, lean proteins, and whole grains. Reducing fried and processed foods helps prevent fat buildup in the liver.

🏃‍♀️ Stay Active: Aim for at least 30 minutes of exercise most days of the week. Physical activity supports a healthy weight and reduces fatty liver risk.

💧 Hydrate: Drinking enough water helps your liver flush out toxins and function efficiently.

🚫 Limit Alcohol: Even moderate drinking can strain your liver over time. Try alcohol-free days each week to give your liver a break.

✅ Get Regular Screenings: Many liver diseases show no symptoms early on. Ask your provider about routine lab work or a FibroScan® to check your liver’s health.

Your liver works hard for you—take care of it!

Not all liver diseases show symptoms right away. Risk factors include alcohol use, obesity, viral hepatitis, and certain medications. Knowing your risk is the first step to protecting your liver.

Because liver disease can be silent in its early stages, routine checkups and screenings are key. Early detection allows for lifestyle changes and treatment options that can make a big difference in your long-term liver health.
