World Liver Day: It is observed on April 19 to spread awareness about the diseases related to the liver. On this day, let us have a look at some quotes, tips for liver cleansing, liver diseases, functions, etc.
World Liver Day: The liver is the second largest organ in the body. After the brain, it is also the second most complex organ in the body. It performs various crucial functions associated with digestion, immunity, metabolism, and the storage of nutrients within the body.
World Liver Day is observed on 19 April to raise awareness about liver-related diseases. Everything we drink or eat, including medicine, passes through the liver. It is impossible to survive without a liver. It is also said that the liver is an organ that can easily be damaged if you don’t take good care of it.
History:
In 2010, the European Association for the Study of the Liver (EASL) launched the first ever World Liver Day to commemorate the foundation day of EASL in 1966. Since then, April 19 has been celebrated as World Liver Day every year. According to studies, around 20 lakh people die due to liver diseases every year across the world – the numbers are expected to shoot up to a 35 percent increase by 2030.
Significance:
The theme for this year’s World Liver Day is – Be Vigilant, Get Regular Liver Check-Ups and Prevent Fatty Liver Diseases. The increase in the number of deaths every year due to liver diseases is due to lack of awareness and prevention measures. The day aims to urge people to have a healthier lifestyle and diet that can boost liver functioning and keep liver diseases at bay. Getting enough sleep, practicing mindfulness to reduce stress, having a healthy die4t, regularly exercising and avoiding alcohol and tobacco are some of the measures that we can take to ensure that our liver is healthy.
