Liver Problems
Causes, Symptoms, and Lifestyle Factors
The liver is one of the most important organs in our body. It works like a natural filter, removing toxins from the blood, helping in digestion, and storing energy. When the liver becomes weak or damaged, it affects the entire body. Common liver problems include fatty liver disease, hepatitis, and liver cirrhosis
Causes of Liver Problems
There are many reasons that can affect liver function. Some of the major causes are:
Unhealthy diet – Eating too much fried, oily, or junk food leads to fat buildup in the liver.
Excess alcohol – Drinking too much alcohol is one of the main causes of liver damage.
Infections – Viruses like Hepatitis A, B, and C directly affect the liver.
Obesity – Being overweight increases the chance of fatty liver disease.
Medicines and toxins – Overuse of painkillers or chemicals can damage the liver.
Lack of physical activity – A sedentary lifestyle makes the liver more prone to fat accumulation
Symptoms of Liver Problems
In the early stage, liver problems may not show clear symptoms. But as the problem grows, common signs include:
Tiredness and weakness
Yellowing of skin and eyes (jaundice)
Swelling in legs or abdomen
Pain or discomfort in the upper right side of the stomach
Nausea, vomiting, or loss of appetite
Dark-colored urine
Itchy skin
Lifestyle Factors That Affect Liver
Some everyday habits play a big role in weakening the liver. These include:
Overeating junk food – Burgers, fries, and packaged foods overload the liver.
Too much alcohol – Even regular small amounts can harm liver cells over time.
Irregular eating patterns – Skipping meals or eating too late at night stresses digestion.
Lack of exercise – No physical activity means more fat storage in the liver.
Stress – High stress can indirectly affect liver function by disturbing digestion.
