How to Your Liver

1. Eat a healthy diet.

* Choose whole grains, fruits, vegetables, and lean protein over processed foods. These foods are high in fiber, vitamins, and minerals, all of which support liver health.

5. Quit smoking.

Smoking can damage the liver and increase your risk of liver disease. If you smoke, quit as soon as possible.
