The liver is one of the body's most important metabolic centers. It processes nutrients, helps regulate sugar and fat metabolism, and performs a range of other essential functions.

However, modern lifestyle habits can negatively affect this organ. A sedentary lifestyle, excess weight, and a diet high in added sugar and processed foods can contribute to fat accumulating in the liver.

Pharmacist's explanation

Ivanda Krastiņa, a certified pharmacist at Apotheka, explains how people can care for their liver health on a daily basis and reduce the risk of fat buildup. She emphasizes that lifestyle choices and dietary habits can significantly affect the condition of this organ.

Liver health is closely linked to a person's overall well-being, which is why specialists encourage paying attention to daily habits that can influence the body's metabolic processes.
