World Liver Day 2025 is being celebrated with a focus on the importance of food and nutrition in maintaining a healthy liver. The theme for this year is “Food is Medicine”, emphasizing the role of a balanced diet in preventing liver disease and promoting normal liver function. The global rise in obesity, diabetes, fatty liver, and high cholesterol has made liver disease prevalent among a younger population, affecting productivity and economic growth.
Metabolic dysfunction-associated liver disease (MASLD) is a common condition linked to obesity, diabetes, and high cholesterol, which can lead to advanced liver disease if left untreated. Early stages of liver disease may not present with symptoms, highlighting the importance of prevention through healthy lifestyle choices and awareness. Dr. Vibha Varma, a liver transplant and pancreas surgeon, recommends a diet high in fiber, low in sugars and saturated fats, and rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and healthy fats like olive oil for a healthy liver.
Simple changes in diet and lifestyle, such as increased physical activity and weight loss, can significantly reduce the risk and severity of liver disease. By adopting healthy eating habits, individuals can prevent future liver health issues and ensure a foundation for a healthy life. It is important for individuals to be mindful of their food choices and seek help if experiencing symptoms of liver disease to prevent further complications. World Liver Day serves as a reminder to prioritize liver health and make small, achievable changes that can have a big impact on overall well-being.
