Doctors use regular liver function tests to catch early signs of trouble, especially when you face daily non-alcoholic liver stressors.
When people think of liver damage, alcohol often gets the blame—but many other factors can hurt this vital organ silently.
The liver performs over 500 essential functions, including detoxification, metabolism, and nutrient storage, yet it’s often overlooked.
Consuming too much sugar, especially from soft drinks and processed foods, can lead to fatty liver disease without warning signs.
Obesity plays a major role in liver dysfunction, as excess fat around organs interferes with the liver’s ability to process toxins.
Overusing common medications like acetaminophen can quietly overwhelm the liver, leading to severe long-term damage if taken regularly.
High cholesterol and uncontrolled diabetes are metabolic conditions that place constant stress on the liver, leading to scarring over time.
Exposure to environmental toxins—like cleaning products, pesticides, or air pollutants—can also impair liver cells and reduce their effectiveness.
Supplements and herbal remedies, while often seen as harmless, can contain compounds that burden or even inflame liver tissue.
Lack of physical activity slows metabolism and contributes to fat buildup in the liver, increasing the risk of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease.
Poor sleep and chronic stress disrupt hormonal balance, which may worsen inflammation and liver function over an extended period.
Smoking introduces hundreds of toxins that the liver must filter, gradually wearing down its ability to regenerate and repair.
Infections like hepatitis B and C are viral threats that can silently deteriorate liver function without early symptoms or clear warning signs.
Even dehydration affects liver health, making it harder for the organ to flush out toxins efficiently through normal metabolic processes.
To protect your liver, prioritise a balanced lifestyle—nutrient-rich food, hydration, exercise, sleep, and responsible use of medications.
