June is Men's Health Month

The month of June is Men's Health Month. The goal of Men's Health Month is to "heighten the awareness of preventable health problems and encourage early detection and treatment of disease among men and boys. This month gives health care providers, public policy makers, the media, and individuals an opportunity to encourage men and boys to seek regular medical advice and early treatment for disease and injury. The response has been overwhelming with thousands of awareness activities in the USA and around the globe".

From a liver standpoint, limiting alcohol is key to overall health. Alcohol use, in the setting of any form of liver disease, will likely increase the damage to the liver. For this reason, Dr. Galati and his team generally recommend eliminatin all types of alcohol from your daily routine (including beer, spirits, and wine).

In addition to alcohol, obesity is a leading cause of liver disease in both men and women. Fatty liver disease can lead to cirrhosis, liver cancer, and liver failure. Reducing salt in your diet is a good start to weight reduction. See the video below for more information on a low salt diet.
