Liver Health Initiative

In the spirit of Thanksgiving, take a moment to say thanks for your amazing liver and all the wonderful things it does every moment of every day to keep you healthy and alive. From processing all of the food we eat so we have energy for our day to keeping our immune system in good working order, the liver performs over 500 functions essential to your well being. Thank you, liver! 😊

Drinking Alcohol leads to 5 types of cancer:

Breast
Colon
Esophageal
Liver
Mouth & Throat

To decrease your risk of cancer, avoid drinking alcohol everyday and if you do drink, limit your intake to 1-2 drinks a day.

Small decisions everyday lead to a healthy body and life.

Liver cancer is growing faster than any other cancer as a cause of cancer-related death in the United States.

Liver cancer is expected to jump ahead of breast cancer and colorectal cancer to enter into the top 3 causes of cancer death in the US.

The majority of liver cancer is PREVENTABLE.

You can do these things to significantly lower your risk of getting liver cancer:

Get vaccinated against Hepatitis B
Get tested and treated for Hepatitis C
Avoid heavy alcohol intake
Avoid obesity

All of those conditions cause inflammation in the liver that leads to liver cancer which has a low survival rate.

Take care of your body to prevent liver cancer.
