Avoid these 7 liver-damaging habits to prevent liver disease and a fatty liver. These habits destroy liver health! Video on Stretching Technique: ▶️ https://youtu.be/PQnS87AnnR0 0:00 Introduction: What causes liver problems? 0:10 Over-the-counter pills 0:26 Liver damage from Tylenol 1:13 Sedentary lifestyle and liver damage 2:30 Poor diet and eating habits 7:18 Stress and liver health 8:20 Alcohol 9:58 Vitamin deficiencies 1. Over-the-counter pills Tylenol is the number 1 cause of acute liver failure. Many people don’t realize the dangers of over-the-counter medications. Some people even take them routinely. Milk thistle increases liver regeneration and has unique properties that support liver health. NAC also protects the liver. 2. Sedentary lifestyle Eating calories that you’re not burning off causes damage and oxidative stress at the cellular level. Exercise can burn off excess fuel, strengthen the immune system, increase oxygen throughout the body, and reduce stress. Try to get into the habit of regular exercise or physical work. 3. Unhealthy diet Seed oil combined with starch or sugar is the basis for almost all junk food and is highly damaging to the body, especially the liver. These foods create insulin resistance in the liver, which is at the root of chronic health concerns such as belly fat, obesity, fatty liver, and high blood pressure. 4. Eating for convenience Many people live busy lives and eat on the go. This usually means fast food, poor-quality food, and poor-quality protein, which is damaging to liver health. Take the time to prepare your meals and plan what you will eat for the week. 5. Stress Stress can cause sleep problems that interfere with your blood sugar levels. Chronic stress can even activate dormant viruses. Vitamin B1, vitamin D, exercise, and long walks can all help reduce stress. 6. Alcohol Alcohol goes straight to the liver! Mixed drinks are the worst because they contain alcohol and sugar. Avoid making alcohol a part of your everyday routine. 7. Vitamin deficiencies Phytonutrients are essential for liver function. Consume cruciferous vegetables such as broccoli and arugula regularly to help the liver detoxify. Salads with garlic and onion, grass-fed beef, and wild fish are rich in nutrients that help protect the liver.

Your brutal honesty is SO very refreshing and your candor actually gives me strength and ability to walk the narrow healthy path. No judgement, no shame - just straight up honesty and tough love. God bless you Doc.

With all the food labelling laws, why do they get away with calling it vegetable oil. I changed from animal fat to vegetable oil, because I thought it was a healthier option, and ofcourse from vegetables. Thankyou for your videos, I might finally get a normal life in a few months. I have been so ill for so long.

So, I always kind of wondered about when he says he feels like crap after eating junk food, because you know when we're younger, we don't think it care about that, typically. I turned 41 a few days ago. I can honestly say, there's a noticable difference to how I feel whether I eat well or not.❤

Glad the doc was so candid. He's a great person for admitting his own past eating habits. Good for him, and us!

I watched it this morning. I guess too much junk food was thrown in the trash. Must have upset too many companies that make it. YouTube is censoring “alternative” options on health once again.
