Maintaining a Healthy Liver
The best way to avoid liver disease is to take active steps toward a healthy life. The following are some recommendations that will help keep the liver functioning as it should:
Avoid Illicit Drugs: Illicit drugs are toxins that the liver must filter out. Taking these drugs can cause long-term damage.
Drink Alcohol Moderately: Alcohol must be broken down by the liver. While the liver can moderate amounts, excessive alcohol use can cause damage.
Exercise Regularly: A regular exercise routine will help promote general health for every organ, including the liver.
Eat Healthy Foods: Eating excessive fats can make it difficult for the liver to function and lead to fatty liver disease.
Practice Safe S*x: Use protection to avoid sexually transmitted diseases such as hepatitis C.
Vaccinate: Especially when traveling, get appropriate vaccinations against hepatitis A and B, as well as diseases such as malaria and yellow fever, which grow in the liver.
