Your liver breaks down everything you eat and drink. Help protect it by eating a balanced diet of fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and healthy proteins. Be sure to drink lots of water and cut back on fatty foods.
Staying fit and strong with regular exercise is good for your liver. Exercise can help lower your stress and burn liver fat too.
