Avoid processed junk and heavy alcohol, as liver damage leads to extremely expensive LFT tests and long-term hospital bills. Cooking simple food at home with minimal oil is much lighter on your wallet and your health.

Deep-fried pakoras and late-night alcohol are the main culprits here, and sadly, they are my favorite things. My sluggish mornings are definitely my liver crying for help.

I have heard that eating too many bakery items and sweet sodas can harm the liver over time. Is this actually true, or is a little bit of sugar fine?

Totally agree. Excess white sugar, high-fructose syrups, and reheated cooking oils are very bad for liver health.
