Six simple ways to take care of your liver

Our liver is an important player in our body’s digestive system so we need to take care of it to stay healthy. Everything we eat or drink, including medicine, passes through it. You need to treat it right so it can stay healthy and do its job.

The liver has several important functions. It is the one responsibl­e for cleaning up our blood by getting rid of harmful chemicals and toxins that our body creates. It produces fluid called bile which aids in proper digestion. It also stores glucose which is an important energy source that is needed by all the cells and organs of our bodies.

Keeping our liver in good shape is easy. It’s all about maintainin­g a healthy lifestyle. Here are some ways to keep our livers healthy: 1. Eat green and leafy vegetables. 2. Get regular exercise. 3. Avoid toxins. It can damage liver cells. 4. Drink alcohol responsibl­y. 5. Maintain a healthy weight. 6. Take supplement­s which help in protecting your liver.

Taking supplement­s to take care of the liver helps detoxify the body, and helps repair damaged liver cells. It also lowers bad cholestero­l, increases absorption of nutrients from food and most importantl­y helps fight Hepatitis and liver fatty and cirrhosis.
