\The liver is the main organ that removes toxins from the body. But some of our bad habits damage liver cells and lead to serious diseases. They are mainly:
Excessive alcohol consumption: This is the biggest cause of liver disease. Alcohol causes inflammation in the liver (Hepatitis), which over time leads to a condition called cirrhosis, which shrinks the liver.
Fatty liver: Lack of exercise and obesity cause fat to accumulate in the liver. This is a major factor in non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) even in non-alcoholics.
Viral infections: Viruses such as hepatitis B and C affect the liver and can cause liver failure in the long term. Hepatitis A, which is spread through contaminated water and food, is also worth paying attention to.
Unscientific use of medicines: Painkillers and other Ayurvedic/English medicines taken for a long time without a doctor’s prescription can become toxic to the liver cells.
Consumption of sugar and junk food: Excessively sweetened drinks and processed foods cause excessive fat production in the liver. This disrupts the natural functioning of the liver.
