When it comes to liver health, there’s a lot of misinformation out there. This World Liver Day, let’s set the record straight by debunking some of the most common myths and sharing facts you actually need to know to protect your liver.
Myth 1: Only alcohol harms the liver
Fact: While excessive alcohol is a major risk, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD)—often caused by poor diet, obesity, and lack of exercise—is becoming increasingly common.
Myth 2: Liver detox juices or cleanses are necessary
Fact: Your liver is naturally designed to detox your body. Trendy “cleanses” often do more harm than good and are not backed by science.
Myth 3: You’ll always feel symptoms if your liver is unhealthy
Fact: Liver damage can be silent for years. Many people show no symptoms until the condition is advanced. That’s why regular check-ups are important.
Myth 4: All supplements are safe for the liver
Fact: Some herbal or over-the-counter supplements can stress or damage the liver, especially if taken in high doses or without medical guidance.
Myth 5: Liver health isn’t affected by sugar
Fact: High sugar intake—especially fructose—can lead to fat build-up in the liver and increase the risk of liver disease.
Takeaway:
Your liver works hard 24/7 to keep you healthy. On this World Liver Day, skip the myths, stick to science, and support your liver with a balanced diet, regular exercise, and smart lifestyle choices.
