Drink Water

I would like to go a little further in the benefits of drinking water. Our liver has to work so hard it is best if we give it lots of water to help flush our systems of all impurities. I dieted to an almost starvation point for two years to keep my weight down. I drank little plain water as I had no knowledge of it's importance. When the liver does not get the nourishment and water it needs, it turns on and damages itself. I ended up with cirrhosis of the liver about 25 years after the dieting. I had no idea the dieting had scarred my liver and it just kept up until I got fatty liver disease and by the time my liver stats were out of whack during my regular check up, it had already turned into cirrhosis.

What Kimey says is true. I have read many times that malnutrition contributes to cirrhosis of the liver more than does excessive drinking of alcohol. So - eat a healthy diet - lots of vegetables and fruit and drink plenty of water. I am a healthy 77 year-old, so I know this works.!
