Generally when you think of someone with a liver disease, the first thing that comes to your mind is alcohol abuse. But most of us will be shocked to know that fatty liver disease is generally seen in people who never or rarely drink alcohol. This does not mean that continuous alcohol abuse will not harm your liver. But one has to remember that besides alcohol there are other things which might damage your liver. Here are few tips to reduce your risk of liver disease-

 

Avoid taking pain-killers in large amounts. Excessive intake of pain-killers, cough syrup or any other drug damages your liver and can result in drug induced liver damage.

 

Limit your alcohol intake. Alcoholism damages the cell lining of the liver as alcohol breakdown takes place in the liver. Chronic alcoholism can lead to alcoholic liver disease which constitutes about 24% of all liver diseases.

 

Drink green tea. It is high in anti-oxidants which help to maintain the over all liver health and help prevent alcoholic liver disease.

 

Practice safe sex. Maintain good hygiene. Do not share syringes or use illegal drugs. Get hepatitis vaccinations on time. This will help you reduce the risk of hepatic liver disease. There is no permanent cure for hepatitis B or hepatitis C. However vaccination can prevent these infections. Hepatic liver diseases amount to 51% of all liver diseases.

    I have hepatitis and I am an engineer who works for the largest STD dating and support site POZmingle. com. I have to tell you a secret, you can choose not to believe me. But the truth is that this site has more than 1,880,000 members and about 80% members are good looking in my estimation. Unfortunately, STD rates soar worldwide and most people with STDs don't even know that they have them. The government should grant more money for STD education to lower the rates of STD transmission.
