Limit how much alcohol you drink

The number one factor that can harm your liver is alcohol. Drink alcohol cautiously. Those who are of the legal drinking age should only consume alcohol in moderation.

For men, this means no more than two alcoholic drinks each day, while for women, it means only one. A man is considered a heavy drinker if he consumes at least four alcoholic drinks per day or 14 alcoholic drinks per week. Or a woman who consumes three alcoholic drinks every day or seven every week. Alcohol abuse causes liver scarring and damage when it is excessive. You may lessen the harm caused to your liver and stop further damage from occurring by adopting easy lifestyle changes, such as cutting back on alcohol consumption.
