 World Liver Day 2022: Way of Life Transpose To Cleanup and Keep Your Liver Healthy

On this Day of Action, we will focus on ways in which we can keep the liver healthy and functioning properly.

World Liver Day is celebrated annually on 19 April, to understand the importance of healthy liver and to spread awareness about it. The liver is a significant portion of the human framework. It filters blood out of the stomach and intestines and then breaks down, regulates, produces nutrients in the blood, and digests the drugs into easy-to-use forms in the human or harmless body. Therefore, it is very important for us to take good care of our liver. On this Day of Action, we will focus on ways in which we can keep the liver healthy and functioning properly.

Here are some changes you can make in your lifestyle to promote healthy liver:

1. Regular exercise: Exercise is very important and beneficial not only for keeping the liver healthy but also for the rest of our life. Exercise reduces liver stiffness, increases productivity, and helps prevent obesity, which can be a risk factor for liver problems. Lifting weights improves muscle and bone strength. Women, in particular, need to maintain muscle and bone strength as the liver disease makes bones more prone to osteoporosis. Weight lifting also helps to reduce body fat, build proper body weight, and improve metabolic function.

2. Eat a healthy diet: Like exercise, a healthy diet is very important. We need to eat a lot of nutritious food to maintain good health. Liver health also improves when we eat healthy, nutritious food. The body needs 7 different types of nutrients; Carbohydrates, proteins, fats (vitamins), vitamins, minerals, fiber, and water, all should be eaten daily. To eat nutritious food regularly, we need to know which foods give us these seven essential nutrients. Here is an index of food sources you can incorporate into your eating routine:

*Carbohydrates: Carbohydrates are often considered unhealthy or low in nutrition but, they are very important in a healthy diet. Healthy carbohydrates improve metabolism and the digestive system. High-carbohydrate foods include milk, potatoes, cereals, and whole-grain products (flour, rotis, bread, pizza, etc.).

*Protein: Protein usually helps the body repair tissue. They also protect the liver cells from fatty deposits and/or any other damage they may cause. High protein foods include dairy products, fish, poultry, peas, etc.

*Lipids: Fats are another nutrient that is often considered unhealthy but not so. Healthy fats are very important in the body as they are healthy and the body produces a variety of vitamins. Various vitamins are soluble in fats. That is, they cannot be absorbed by the body without the help of fats. Other healthy fatty foods include nuts (dried fruit), whole eggs, cheese, etc.

*Vitamins: Vitamins help strengthen the immune system, heal injuries, and support bones. In addition, vitamins help the body convert food into energy. Other vitamin-rich foods include citrus fruits (lemons, oranges), and raw and/or leafy vegetables (broccoli, spinach, green beans).

*Minerals: Minerals are essential for the proper functioning of various organs. Minerals include calcium, iron, etc. Other foods rich in minerals are meat, dairy products, fruits, vegetables, etc.

*Fiber: Fiber helps digest food properly. It is significant to keep the digestive organs sound. Other high-fiber foods are: fruits (apples, pears, etc.) and vegetables (beetroot, carrots, etc.)

*Water: Water is essential for the liver. It helps to store and eliminate toxins from the liver. The average person should drink at least 2.7 liters of water a day.

3. Say no to alcohol and drugs: Alcohol and illicit drugs have a profound effect on liver damage. Several liver cells die every time our liver produces alcohol. Our liver can regenerate new cells, however long-term misuse of alcohol can weaken its ability to do so. Our liver can be irreparably damaged by overindulgence in alcohol. Drugs can damage the liver by causing serious damage to the liver cells and/or by preventing biliary excretion from the liver.
