Caring For Your Liver


Posted on: Wed 19-08-2015

•  Stay properly hydrated by drinking water.
•  If you are at risk for diabetes due to family history or lifestyle, get evaluated for the condition periodically and seek treatment if the evaluation results suggest you are having problems with your blood sugar levels.
•  If you are a diabetic, properly control your blood sugar levels.
•  Do not consume alcoholic beverages in excess. If you already have liver damage, consult with your doctor to determine if you should consume alcohol at all.
 
 
•  Avoid recreational drugs, especially intravenous drugs.
•  Maintain healthy eating habits, exercise regularly and get enough sleep.
•  To flush the liver, avoid animal products and eat mainly high-fibre fruits, vegetables, seeds, nuts, and legumes. Avoid saturated fats, refined sugar, and alcohol.
•  Limit your intake of sodium (salt). Consuming too much sodium can cause an imbalance of water in your body, placing a strain on the kidneys.
