World liver day 2025: The power of small wins to help your liver

This world liver day, Specialist Liver Dietitian Bally Parekh MSc. RD speaks writes for The British Liver Trust on how nutrition is important to help prevent and tackle liver disease.

Your liver does a lot of important tasks. Some of the key ones include:

• storing and providing energy for your body

• storing vitamins and minerals

• helping digest your food

• helping your immune system

• helping your gut stay healthy

• getting rid of toxins

When we eat too much sugar, fat and salt the liver must work harder to process and filter them.

If the workload becomes too much, your liver quickly starts to find ways to cope. One of these can lead to a build-up of fat in liver cells, this causes damage. If left unchecked, it can cause permanent inflammation and scarring, making it harder for your liver to do all its jobs.
