LAC, the leading health and wellness supplement retailer in the Philippines, supports World Liver Day 2024
Did you know your liver is a versatile multitasker? As the largest organ in your body, it undertakes numerous crucial roles: filtering blood, absorbing nutrients, eliminating toxins, producing essential protein building blocks for cell growth, and serving as a reservoir for vitamins and minerals. Despite its remarkable functionality, liver disease silently claims thousands of lives annually in the Philippines alone.
Liver disease encompasses a spectrum of conditions that impair the organ’s structure or function, progressing through four stages: Hepatitis, Fibrosis, Cirrhosis, and ultimately, Liver failure. According to The Global State of Liver Health 2022 Report, complications from liver disease contribute to a mortality rate of 2.65%, resulting in an estimated 16,500 deaths in the Philippines—an alarming reality demanding attention. While alcohol consumption is a primary risk factor, habits such as regular intake of fatty foods, sedentary lifestyles, poor dietary choices, and prolonged use of certain medications also predispose individuals to liver problems.
Hepatology Society of the Philippines (HSP) warns that the risk escalates for individuals who are overweight, diabetic, or hypertensive, placing over 18 million Filipinos at risk or already grappling with fatty liver disease. Surprisingly, a significant proportion—11.9%—of Filipinos suffer from the disease despite not being overweight.
This underscores the critical importance of proactive liver care, particularly as World Liver Day approaches on April 19th. This global initiative aims to heighten awareness about liver-related conditions and promote preventive measures, as liver diseases often manifest without noticeable symptoms.
Health experts stress the significance of adopting healthy dietary habits, making lifestyle modifications, and considering the potential benefits of supplements in combating this burgeoning health concern, alongside undergoing necessary diagnostic tests.
