Hey there, health enthusiasts! 😊 With National Cancer Prevention and Awareness Week on the calendar (April 15-21, as observed in China), we've got some must-know insights on liver cancer, often called the "silent killer."
Dr Michael Millis, professor of surgery and vice chair for global surgery at the University of Chicago, laid out a few straightforward tips to help keep liver cancer at bay:
- Avoid Viral Hepatitis: Stay on top of vaccinations and regular health check-ups.
- Limit Alcohol: Enjoy your favorite drinks in moderation to protect your liver.
- Eat Healthily: A balanced diet goes a long way in supporting liver health.
Importantly, Dr Millis also debunked the myth that detox diets can fight liver cancer. Instead of chasing quick fixes, real prevention comes from consistent, healthy lifestyle choices.
Stay informed and take charge of your health—every smart choice makes a difference! 💪
