Dr SK Sarin, director of the Institute of Liver and Biliary Sciences, highlights the importance of diet, exercise, and sleep for liver health, recommending that we let the body heal minor issues on its own
Dr SK Sarin, Director of the Institute of Liver and Biliary Sciences in New Delhi, is one of India’s top liver specialists. He has the remarkable ability to assess a person’s liver condition just by observing them.
In an interview with Lallantop, Dr. Sarin shared important insights about the liver, highlighting that a healthy liver can boost your overall personality. He warned that certain bad habits can really damage the liver, and sticking to these habits can cause serious harm. He outlined four simple tips for keeping your liver and overall health in good shape.
Dr. Sarin explained that whenever we have a slight headache, we often reach for painkillers, and when eating out, we take antibiotics to avoid infections. This means we don’t let our bodies handle minor issues on its own, which can harm our liver.
Dr. Sarin emphasized that we should avoid medications unless absolutely necessary and allow our bodies to manage small problems by themselves. Medicine should be the last resort when dealing with any illness.
Dr SK Sarin mentioned that the body can often heal minor illnesses on its own. However, if a serious health issue arises, it’s important to be determined and decide to change your lifestyle or take extra steps to address the problem. He emphasized that we should allow the body to handle health issues first and avoid using medicine as the first option. Only turn to medication when other approaches have failed.
Dr. Sarin outlined four key tips for maintaining a healthy liver and overall well-being. He explained that if you focus on the first three tips, you will rely less on the fourth.
The first tip is your diet and weight. Eating healthy foods like leafy greens, whole grains, fresh fruits, seeds, and nuts can help prevent many diseases.
The second tip is exercise. Regular physical activity, especially vigorous exercise, keeps your liver strong and helps you stay healthy.
The third tip is your lifestyle, including your sleep patterns. How well and when you sleep matters for your health. Quality sleep is essential, and many people today sleep late, which is harmful and can lead to fatty liver disease. Dr. Sarin advises going to bed early and getting good sleep to allow your body to repair itself.
The fourth tip is medicine. If you use the first three lifelines effectively, you shouldn’t need to rely on medication. But if you do, it should be your last resort.
