Love your liver more this World Liver Day

Your liver is an amazing organ that does a lot to keep you healthy. This is why we mark April 19 as World Liver Day, a day when we spread awareness about the liver and its importance to one’s overall well-being. The liver has over 500 different functions, but its main tasks include cleaning the toxins from your blood, helping digest food, storing energy, and balancing cholesterol levels.

This powerhouse organ takes care of us in so many ways, but how are you looking after it in return? This World Liver Day, take time to evaluate your lifestyle and see if your choices contribute to your liver’s optimal health.

One of the most obvious ways to keep the liver in its peak condition is to avoid or limit the consumption of alcoholic drinks. Drinking too much can severely damage this major organ, as can drug overuse and smoking. An unbalanced diet, one that consists of fatty food, sweets, and processed food, can also put a great strain on your liver.  Unsurprisingly, obesity, inactivity, and high levels of stress are also major contributors to liver problems.

Over time, these unhealthy habits lead to liver damage, diseases, or even liver failure, which can be life-threatening. Among the most common problems affecting the liver is fatty liver disease, a condition in which fat builds up in the liver. According to clinical studies by Maev et al., approximately 20-30% of adults globally are affected by non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (or NAFLD), a very common cause of liver damage. Luckily, your liver can heal and regenerate.

Besides choosing a healthy diet and lifestyle, you can also protect your liver by increasing your phospholipid intake. Phospholipids are an important component of cell membranes and can repair damage to the liver. You can eat phospholipid-rich foods like egg yolks, chicken or pork liver, lean meats, fish, shellfish, cereal grains, and soybeans. You can also take supplements like (Phospholipids) Essentiale^® Forte P, which has a high content of essential phospholipids to accelerate liver regeneration.

(Phospholipids) Essentiale^® Forte P helps heal your liver naturally with proper diet and exercise. It is designed to help restore damaged liver cells, strengthen them, and protect them against toxins with proper diet and exercise. It is best to take two capsules of (Phospholipids) Essentiale^® Forte P 3x daily after each meal.

On World Liver Day, remember that being proactive when it comes to your well-being fosters healthy living. Start taking care of your liver today.
