tain a healthy liver. There are

Regular gentle exercise can stave off all
sorts of potential health issues including
liver disease, as it burns triglycerides and
reduces fat in the liver.
Drugs and Alcohol
Alcohol abuse can cause many health
problems, particularly in the liver. Avoiding
excessive alcohol consumption and illicit
drugs helps to maintain a healthy liver.
Hygiene
Personal hygiene helps maintain a healthy
body. Washing hands regularly – particu-
larly after going to the toilet or changing a
diaper, and before preparing or eating food
– helps keep livers healthy.

Diet
One of the most important things for a
healthy liver is a healthy and nutritious
diet that avoids ingredients such as sugar,
refined carbohydrates and saturated fats,
and does not overload on calories. Fiber,
diary, lean meats, polyunsaturated fats and
monounsaturated fats all help to maintain
a balance. Hydration is also essential.
