How to show your liver some winter love!

Love Your Liver & Live Longer

According to a research published in the Archives of Internal Medicine¹, cholesterol levels are highest during the winter months and lowest during summer months. The seasonal variation in cholesterol levels can lead to more progression of fatty liver disease in the winter. Fatty liver occurs when the liver is overloaded with fat and this build-up of fat damages the liver cells impacting liver function (digestion, detoxification and metabolism) and overall health. By keeping the liver healthy you will feel younger, look healthier and improve your overall lifespan.

4 Ways To Support Liver Function This Winter

Your liver is an important organ with many essential functions. Therefore, it makes sense to do what you can to protect it. Here are a few ways you can support your liver this winter:

1. Limit Alcohol

Too much alcohol can damage liver cells and lead to the swelling or scarring that becomes cirrhosis, which can be deadly. How much alcohol is too much? The Alcohol Advisory Council of New Zealand (ALAC) recommends no more than 15 standard drinks of alcohol per week for men or 10 standard drinks for women.

2. Get More Active

Exercise, paired with diet, can help you lose extra weight and manage your liver disease. Aim to get at least 30 minutes of aerobic exercise on most days of the week.

3. Eat Cruciferous Vegetables

Cruciferous vegetables like kale, broccoli, cabbage, cauliflower and radishes can be beneficial food for liver health. A recent study in men² with fatty liver found that broccoli sprout extract, which is high in beneficial plant compounds, improved liver enzyme levels and decreased oxidative stress.

4. Take Supplements
