The liver is the organ that gets rid of the poisons and toxins in your body. Imagine this system getting hurt. You will be poisoned from inside out. Our liver also has an amazing regenerative property. If you change your ways things can turn around.
For optimum liver health:
You should have plenty of water.Water helps in flushing out the toxins from your system.
Not having enough water makes your body dehydrated.The liver works best in hydrated status for removing the toxins from your body.
Fructose a type of sugar present in processed food is metabolized only in the liver. Excess calorie get converted into fat. This is a big cause of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease.
Medicines:
Acetaminophen present in Paracetamol is a commonly available OTC which is hepatotoxic in high doses in most people and even in low doses in genetically susceptible people.
Antidepressants: Some of them can alter liver functions. So check with your doctor for the right time to check your liver function if you are on these medicines.
Excessive Vitamin A gets stored in the liver and can damage your liver. This happens with supplements generally and not with natural dietary sources from fruits and veggies.
Avoid as far as possible :
Herbal supplements
Just going natural sounds great. But be careful. Most poisons are natural too!. Herbs like Comfrey. Kava Kava, concentrated catechins (the active ingredients in green tea)can damage your, liver too.
Alcohol: A known liver poison capable of poisoning every cell of your body even in low doses.
Trans fat present in processed food.It can cause irreparable harm to your body.
MSG or monosodium glutamate present in certain packaged food is suspected to have a role in liver diseases.
Hepatitis:Used needles/Unsafe sex/tattoos can cause Hepatitis B, C, HIV.
All can damage the liver.
Smoking 2011 study found that smoking was the cause of nearly half of all liver cancers. Smoking is equivalent to barbecuing your life. Read all about it here.
Your lifestyle
Eating a very heavy meal during dinner is bad for many reasons. But since our bodies, repair work happens at night. Loading the liver with a high fat diet at night will just make it more overworked.
Obesitycauses nonalcoholic fatty liver disease. The liver cells are so laden with fat that they can’t do their normal functions. This kind of liver disease mimics that due to alcohol.
Healthcare checkup:
Not checking liver function regularly will be dangerous, if you have some or all the above risk factors.
Having a child is a blessing and a miracle.I am a doctor, I know the science behind it.I also know the possible challenges , before a baby is conceived.The busy bee lifestyle you have today , makes it even more difficult.
I love being a mom.If there’s one thing I have to say I love most about it , is the bliss of being loved unconditionally, without judgment (at least till 2 -3 years age).Then they learn to judge.But even then the love is so pure it glows, embraces and cocoons you in its rosy warmth.
When I wake up in the morning her smile and good morning mama makes me all happy inside.It’s like the perfect sound to wake up to.When I tie up her hair for school, the way her hair smells and feels beneath my fingers make me feel peaceful.Then I kiss her goodbye as she runs towards the school gate, my heart whispers a silent prayer to keep her safe and learning happily.
#MMM love being a mommy
Motherhood is a big responsibility.An honor.It’s a chance to help make the future citizen of the world.All that is good inside us, we need to teach.All that’s not so good, we need to avoid.The balance is crucial! Children are perceptive.They can smell a lie instinctively.To make them learn and do anything, you need to be the example.I have never found walking the talk, as challenging as when I became a mom.With other people, it’s just easier!
The first 2 years of mommyhood was a blur.I started blogging when Rai was two and a half .That’s roughly the same time, she was able to see and follow what I did.Before that life was a struggle and I was barely coping.Now Rai is a companion a friend and my daughter. Every day I wake up and as the day passes, I am growing up just like Rai.Growing up to be a mommy, best suited for her.

Are you a blogger? Are you on the Internet for a long time every day? Do you know you are at risk for this disease?
Once a friend came to me with this strange problem. Her eyes were always burning. Nothing seems to help. Now I have written a lot about acid reflux and burning sensation in the throat. But burning eyes? She was upset and close to tears. A talk with her revealed the following. She is a computer engineer. On the way to work from 8 am to 8 .45 am using an Android phone to catch up on Gmail and WhatsApp messages.
At work from 9 am to 7 pm : Using a PC or a laptop. Returning home from work 7 to 8 pm: Using the android phone to check the Facebook and Instagram feed. At home from 9 pm till 23.30 pm: watching television. Bedtime: Checking phone for any important emails, messages,fb messenger. So from 8 am till 12-midnight digital screen usage of 15 to 16 hours!
Shocking, right? At the end of the day your eyes burn, headaches, neck pains. All this seems to get worse every day. Bloggers and all digital media professionals who are using computers throughout the day face this strange problem. It’s called Computer Vision Syndrome or Computer fatigue syndrome.
What is Computer fatigue syndrome?
Computer fatigue/vision syndrome is a problem faced by people who are using a digital screen for long hours.I am at risk. You are at risk. Those who use a laptop, computer, smartphone for long hours for study, work or pleasure all are at equal risk. With Online education in 2020 .2021 and now 2022, kids are the new sufferers if screen time is not monitored.

Irritation in the eye
Burning sensation
Pain in the eye
Headache
Neck and shoulder pain
Generalized irritability
Computer Vision Syndrome:What complaints you may have
Why does this happen?
Poor lighting
Poor posture
Prolonged digital usage
Glare from the screen
How to avoid it ?
Rotate your head and neck and shoulders every few minutes.
Antiglare screens
Antiglare eye glasses
Good lighting
Good seating posture
Under desk stepper
Walking and writing on the laptop
Checklist to have healthy eyes while using digital screens
Check lighting conditions
Is your chair comfortable? Does it give good back support?
DIY your own standing desk with your treadmill to get healthy.
While typing on your keyboard ,keep the reference at the correct angle to avoid eyestrain.Ideally :It should be placed just above the keyboard and below the monitor.You can hold a document holder beside the monitor.
To look at the monitor and the screen ,you shouldn’t have to move your head.
Always check the position of the monitor to avoid muscle strain and eye strain.
Its more comfortable to look at a computer screen , looking downwards.
It’s best if the computer screen is at 15 to 20 degrees(5 inches) below your eyes.
LCD screens are preferred ,than old PC monitors.Avoid glare.Use Anti-glare screen.
Light from windows and overhead light shouldn’t come from the back.It’s best to use drapes on the windows.Use floor lamps.Low wattage desk lamps .
It’s better to have windows to your side than in front or behind.
Blink frequently

Chair should be comfortable. Preferably with hand rest
Your feet should touch the floor
Check your computer display setting
Brightness :same as surrounding.Should be like a light source and not a glare .
Text size should be around 14
Black print white background
Exercise you can do:
Take frequent rest breaks.
While sitting, rotate your feet and wrists while reading. Stand up, move about and stretch your arms, legs, back, neck, and shoulders. This will help reduce tension and muscle fatigue. Try to give your eyes rest for 15 minutes after two hours of computer use. For every 20 minutes of computer work, shift your eyes and look into the distance for 20 seconds. This allows your eye muscles to relax and refocus. Blinking frequently helps a lot. It decreases your chances of getting dry eyes. Blinking keeps your eye moist and healthy.
For Children with Computer vision syndrome
Reduce screen time except for educational requirements and that too should be age-appropriate.
Take care that the child has nature time and spends time in a green plant-filled environment.
Children should have regular eye checkups by an Ophthalmologist or eye doctor.
Who should take special care?
Children need more care. If you use contact lenses, you need to be more careful. Checkups: Eye checkups Once a year at least. Eyeglasses with anti-reflective coating, the blue light filter will help to protect your eyes.
Takeaway
Regular eye examinations and proper viewing habits can help to prevent or reduce the symptoms associated with Computer Vision Syndrome.
