Top post on IndiBlogger, the biggest community of Indian Bloggers

A healthy liver is essential to our overall well being. Located in the right-hand side of the upper abdomen, above the stomach is our liver, shaped like a cone, darkish red-brown in colour and weighs about 3 pounds. The liver performs more than 500 vital functions and controls and regulates all chemicals in our body. It produces BILE, which carries waste and breaks down the fat during the process of digestion. It also breaks down glucose as glycogen for storage in the body and also produces some important proteins for blood plasma, regulates blood level of amino acids and clears the blood of any poisonous substances and drugs amongst other functions. A healthy liver is a sign of a healthy body, it is often said that one can’t live much with a weak liver, because the damage caused to the liver is usually irreversible. Thus it becomes extremely important for us to take good care of our liver. Here are 5 tips to keep our liver health in check

Healthy Liver

Alcohol Intake

Limiting alcohol intake and drinking in moderation is one of the key factors that keep our liver health in place. Our liver cannot break down more than a very small amount of alcohol per hour and beyond that the alcohol presence in liver leads to damaging of liver cells and its inflammation and scarring (cirrhosis of liver). An average adult man should limit his alcohol consumption to 2 standard drinks a day and in women this quantity should be reduced to just one. A standard drink usually refers to one small glass of wine, one shot of whisky or one beer.

Healthy Diet

A diet rich in saturated fats is considered as an enemy of the liver. So make sure you cut down fats and increase the intake of fibre in your diet. High levels of fat and cholesterol lead to fatty liver disease. Deep-fried foods, red meats and dairy products should be consumed in limits as they have more fat and fruits, vegetables, whole grains and white meat should be chosen over the same. A healthy and balanced diet is the key to a healthy liver.

Healthy Liver

Exercise and Active Lifestyle

One should aim for at least 30 minutes of moderate to vigorous activity regime for an overall healthy body. An active and healthy body reduces stress on the liver thus keeping its health regulated. Watching your body weight is essential for a healthy liver, obese bodies have a higher risk of liver damage.

Healthy Liver

Vaccination

Keep yourself prevented against hepatitis A and B, both are liver viral infections and cause a lot of damage to the liver. Hepatitis A is contracted from contaminated food and water and also through raw sea-food. Avoid eating out and ensure the hygiene of the food and water you consume. Hepatitis B is usually contracted through sexual contact, contaminated needles and blood. Practice safe sex and ensure using fresh needles whenever getting vaccinated or giving blood for testing or donation. Vaccination for Hepatitis A and B is both available easily, so do consult your doctor and get it done if you already haven’t. As they say, prevention is better than cure.

Healthy Liver

Liver damage as discussed is irreversible and there is no medication to improve the condition of damaged liver cells, but what you can do instead is keep your liver function regulated by option for some natural supplements available from the chemist. Try and go for medicines that are made of natural formulas. Nature Sure Good Liver Capsules are one such Ayurvedic formula that keeps your liver health in check.
