How to keep your liver healthy this winter?
As the holiday season approaches, Medicover Hospital emphasizes the significance of liver health amidst the festivities. Dr. Vikram Raut, Director of Liver Transplantation and HPB Surgery, shares essential strategies to maintain a healthy liver while enjoying seasonal celebrations.
“Moderation is key,” advises Dr. Raut, emphasizing the importance of pacing alcohol consumption. Suggesting a balanced approach, he recommends hydrating between drinks and opting for slower alcohol intake to reduce the strain on the liver.
“Pair alcohol with a pre-drink protein-rich snack,” Dr. Raut recommends, mitigating alcohol’s impact on the stomach lining and bloodstream absorption. Prioritizing foods like eggs, fish, or nuts helps counteract potential harm.
Exercise plays a pivotal role. Dr. Raut underscores the benefits of regular exercise in shedding abdominal fat, promoting liver function, and suggests replenishing depleted nutrients with B vitamins and magnesium post-alcohol intake.
“This season, safeguard your liver health with mindful choices,” concludes Dr. Raut, urging individuals to strike a balance between indulgence and maintaining liver wellness.
