Take care of the key player in your body- LIVER

Liver transplantation is the process of replacement of the diseased liver with a healthy liver to retain the healthy functions of the liver. Liver- a vital organ of the human body that holds the capability to regrow and regenerate. Diseases like jaundice make it difficult for people to stabilise the condition of their liver. ‘Healthy liver is the key to healthy living,’ everything you eat, drink including the medicines passes through it. Right care can regulate and stabilise the function of the liver.

 Health should be considered as A SUPREME COMMITMENT

Let us understand a few ways as for how one can keep its liver healthy-

1.    Limit the Consumption of Alcohol

Alcohol is like a poison for the liver. It is understood on the part of the individual to halt the consumption of alcohol altogether. So what one can do is that they can start by limiting consumption to some occasion. Make sure you are not the one organising the occasion. Heavy consumption of alcohol causes not only chronic liver disease but also causes high blood pressure, triglycerides (High blood fats), heart failure, stroke, fetal alcohol syndrome if one is pregnant, certain cancers, injury, violence and finally death is the outcome. Drinking too much of alcohol also piles on the calories which may lead to obesity and higher risk for diabetes. There is a segment of people who should refrain from consumption of alcohol like pregnant and breastfeeding women.
• women who are at risk of breast cancer
• people with family history of alcohol abuse
• People below the age of 23, people suffering from liver problems or ulcers, and anyone requiring skill coordination to perform a task too for that matter.

Dietary habits and vigilance concerning herbs and dietary supplements. Some of the supplements that may cause problems are cascara, chaparral, comfrey, kava and ephedra. It is important to eat healthily, Vitamin and Mineral-rich food as they act as required immune for the liver. Some herbs and supplements create classic and promising advertisements to ensure that they are the best cure to make a liver healthy. Some of the examples of such supplements are milk thistle seed, borotutu bark, chanca piedra. One should be a rational consumer and take into consideration all the aspects of these products in the market. Drink a lot of coffee as that lowers the risk of getting a liver disease (the scientific credibility of the statement is low).

3.    Watch out for certain medication

Some of the cholesterol drugs can have a side effect that leads to liver problems. Painkillers like Tylenol (acetaminophen) can lead to severe damage to the liver. Consumption of Over-the-counter medication can also damage the functioning the liver.
