Hepatologist Vladislav Savelyev: keeping the liver healthy is very important, as it affects the overall health and condition of the body.
The liver is the organ responsible for removing all the toxins and waste left over from the body after the digestive process. If the liver ceases to function properly, this will lead to the development of other serious diseases, their occurrence will only be a matter of time. That is why it is important to take care that the liver remains “in good shape”, clean and strong. Having said this, hepatologist Savelyev shared five tips for maintaining liver health in an interview with MedikForum.
Track your alcohol consumption. Hepatologist Saveliev stated: drunkenness is the first thing that can damage the liver. It is important to monitor the amount of alcohol consumed or seek help from professionals if you cannot control your drinking habit on your own.
Wash the gifts of nature properly. Many vegetables, berries, nuts, and fruits can contain traces of fertilizers and other potential toxins. The doctor emphasized: you can not eat unwashed gifts of nature, as this can seriously harm the health of the liver. Some fruits require not only washing, but also pre-soaking. In addition, you need to buy them only from reliable sellers.
Protect yourself from hepatitis infection. Many factors can lead to the development of hepatitis A, B and C, but poor hygiene is common to all. Whatever you do, always practice good hygiene. Be sure to get vaccinated, and since hepatitis can be spread through physical proximity, make sure you’re safe, the specialist suggested.
Keep track of the amount of medication you take. Medicines should only be taken when you are very sick. If there is any dependence on drugs, it can destroy the liver.
Don’t be obese. The hepatologist recalled that non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, which can lead to fibrosis and cirrhosis, is often caused by general obesity. To maintain a healthy liver, it is necessary to maintain a healthy weight, avoiding excess fat deposition – for this, you should eat a healthy diet, regularly practice physical activity.
Earlier, the MedikForum.ru portal wrote that doctors advise women over 40 to eat foods with calcium.
