Prevention Of Liver Damage

Cntsyncont Images

There are many ways to reduce your risk of liver disease, starting with drinking alcohol in moderation, if at all, and eating a healthy diet full of fruits, vegetables, and whole grains instead of red meat, processed carbohydrates, high-fructose corn syrup, and foods high in trans fats. Regularly exercise and maintain a healthy weight since obesity can cause nonalcoholic fatty liver disease.

You can also prevent liver disease by getting vaccinated to help reduce your risk for hepatitis, avoiding contact with other people’s blood and body fluids, avoiding engaging in unprotected sex, ensuring equipment used for tattoos and body piercings are sterilized, avoiding the use of illicit intravenous drugs and sharing needles, keeping your food safe, taking medications only when needed and strictly following recommended doses, and protecting your skin by wearing a mask and gloves when using aerosol sprays, insecticides, and other toxic chemicals.
