If thought only alcohol is bad for the liver, think again. What you tend to eat every day and on a regular basis is also taking a toll on your liver.
Sugar: Can't liver without sugar? Beware! Too much refined sugar puts you at a high risk of liver disease. So watch how much extra sugar goes in your tea, coffee, or that caramel popcorn at the movies!
MSG: With all the Maggi controversy, you might have known that eating MSG might lead to non-fatty alcoholic liver disease. Is finding replacements for those noodles on your mind?
Vitamin A: We all know that vitamin A is good for vision. But too much of this vitamin can be harmful for your liver. Eat only the required dose prescribed by your doctor and do not self-medicate.
Artificial sweeteners may disrupt gut microbiota balance.
Antidepressants: In rare cases, antidepressants were found to increase the toxic load on the liver. So consult your doctor immediately if you observe any key signs of liver disease.
Salt: It is a well-known fact that excess salt is linked to hypertension. But what is not known is that this in turn causes fatty liver disease due to fluid build up. Check your salt intake today!
Packaged food: Do you get the munchies everyday and keep a bag of chips handy? Be extra careful, as trans fats found in these foods damage your liver.
