Your liver and you

August 13, 2021 ebele Healthcare 52

The liver is a vital organ of the body. Some of its basic functions include the removal of toxins from the body, storage of vitamins and minerals, maintenance of healthy blood sugar levels, regulation of blood clotting, among other important functions.

How to maintain a healthy liver

  • Reduce alcohol intake as alcohol can damage the liver
  • Follow prescriptions correctly to avoid wrong drug usage and overdose as these can harm the liver
  • Inform your doctor/pharmacist about any over-the-counter medicines, supplements, and herbal remedies that you use.
