Having a good night's sleep and avoiding junk food is essential to keep the liver healthy, said Dr. S.K. Sarin, director of the Institute of Liver and Biliary Sciences (ILBS). He said that junk food, as the name suggests, must be put in dustbins as its regular consumption can significantly affect liver health.
“The word junk food means it is junk. It has to be put in the dustbin. But if you think your stomach and intestines are dustbins, put that food inside. Otherwise, avoid, don’t use it,” Sarin said, in a post on social media platform X.
