The festive period, with the usual overindulgences of food and alcohol, takes a real toll on your liver and by January it is probably crying out for a break! This time of year certainly highlights the damage we can do to our liver by overeating and drinking alcohol and, according to the British Liver Trust, UK liver disease is on the rise. They say that 90% of liver disease is preventable, with the three main preventable causes being obesity, drinking alcohol and viral hepatitis.
Love your Liver
Awareness Month is a campaign run by the British Liver Trust and is designed to
raise awareness of the risks and causes of liver disease and encourage people
to take active steps to a healthier lifestyle to improve their liver health.
