1. Over-the-counter pills
Tylenol is the number 1 cause of acute liver failure. Many people don’t realize the dangers of over-the-counter medications. Some people even take them routinely.
Milk thistle increases liver regeneration and has unique properties that support liver health. NAC also protects the liver.
2. Sedentary lifestyle
Eating calories that you’re not burning off causes damage and oxidative stress at the cellular level. Exercise can burn off excess fuel, strengthen the immune system, increase oxygen throughout the body, and reduce stress. Try to get into the habit of regular exercise or physical work.
3. Unhealthy diet
Seed oil combined with starch or sugar is the basis for almost all junk food and is highly damaging to the body, especially the liver. These foods create insulin resistance in the liver, which is at the root of chronic health concerns such as belly fat, obesity, fatty liver, and high blood pressure.
4. Eating for convenience
Many people live busy lives and eat on the go. This usually means fast food, poor-quality food, and poor-quality protein, which is damaging to liver health. Take the time to prepare your meals and plan what you will eat for the week.
5. Stress
Stress can cause sleep problems that interfere with your blood sugar levels. Chronic stress can even activate dormant viruses. Vitamin B1, vitamin D, exercise, and long walks can all help reduce stress.
6. Alcohol
Alcohol goes straight to the liver! Mixed drinks are the worst because they contain alcohol and sugar. Avoid making alcohol a part of your everyday routine.
7. Vitamin deficiencies
Phytonutrients are essential for liver function. Consume cruciferous vegetables such as broccoli and arugula regularly to help the liver detoxify. Salads with garlic and onion, grass-fed beef, and wild fish are rich in nutrients that help protect the liver.
