The liver is the most important and the second largest organ of the body. The liver is responsible for the digestion of food. But do you know that Hepatitis and other infections, as well as alcohol addiction, are the most common causes of liver disease? It can also be caused by other medical issues. The damage to the liver is usually irreversible.

According to doctors, using scissors, razors, nail trimmers, and toothbrushes with an infected person has resulted in an increase in chronic diseases such as liver disease in recent years. Aside from that, they blamed a sedentary and unhealthy lifestyle, stress, and increasing exposure to pollutants in food and water.

Hepatitis C is more usually linked to the sharing of needles or injecting equipment. This can also be disseminated by getting a tattoo or having a body piercing done using non-sterile equipment, according to Dr. Praveen Jha of Regency Superspeciality Hospital, who spoke at a news conference on World Liver Day on April 18, 2022.

Sharing personal things, including towels, poses an infection risk since they may contain blood traces and represent a risk of hepatitis C infection.

It’s crucial to remember that hepatitis C is a difficult disease to contract. “If we take a few measures, it’ll be nearly hard to transfer the sickness to others because it’s only carried through contact with infected people’s blood,” he stated.

According to doctors, the rising use of pesticides in food products is causing liver damage. “The liver eliminates contaminants, but an excessive flow of chemicals/pesticides compromises its function.

Every year on April 19, World Liver Day is commemorated to raise awareness about liver illnesses. The liver is the human body’s largest gland and second-largest organ. It is very crucial for digestion.

In humans, the liver is a part of the body that plays a major role in digestion and has a number of important functions that most people are unaware of.

A liver has several functions, including generating bile, transporting the waste, and breaking down fats in the small intestine at the time of digestion.

A liver is also involved in the creation of proteins for blood plasma, the conversion of glucose into glycogen which can be retransformed into glucose to produce energy, the management of amino acids, and more.

Since all these functions highlight the importance of the liver in our bodies, diabetes can make things more difficult. If a person has diabetes, they may need to pay special attention to their liver to ensure that it is healthy and free of cirrhosis or scarring.

When you have diabetes, you must take special care of your liver. Because the liver is so vulnerable to diseases and failure, there are a few things you can do to keep it healthy and functioning, here they are:

To maintain your blood pressure control, limit your sodium and caffeine intake.

Do more exercise and physical activities like gym, yoga, cycling, swimming, running, etc.

Coco cola, sodas, fizzy drinks, sweets, fruit juices, baked products, and candy are all known to induce liver disease and other metabolic disorders. As a result, it is critical that we limit our consumption of certain foods.

Eating at frequent intervals and keep track of how much you’re eating.

Every day, for half an hour, exercise and eat a diet rich in whole grains, fresh fruits, and vegetables.

Eat the right foods and avoid junk or processed foods, to keep your blood sugar levels in check.
