Living Well

Introduction

Lifestyle factors are important when caring for your liver. See the following four domains of healthy living: alcohol consumption, diet and nutrition, mental health and self-care, and exercise, where our animated character O’liver guides us through good liver health.

The liver is a major part of the body’s digestive system. Everything that passes through your body like alcohol, water, food and medicine is processed by the liver.

Eating Well

Eating well and maintaining a healthy weight improves liver health. Check out our Eating Well Lifestyle Guide.

Feeling Well

When we reduce our stress and feel better, many aspects of our mental and physical health improve including our liver health.

Getting Active

Exercise, along with a healthy diet, is the best way to maintain a healthy weight. Being overweight or obese can increase liver damage risk, so maintaining a healthy weight can help your liver.
