I Drink About 2 Beers And Occasionally Wine. How To Stay Healthy With This Habit?

I am a 69year old female. At the present time my health is good. I drink about 2 beers each night and occasionally
wine. I don't want to get something wrong with my liver, so I am trying to see what I need to do to preventthis from occurring. I have never don a cleansing- do I need to? What can you suggest I do to stay healthy?

HI, thanks for using healthcare magic

There are different possible causes for liver disease.The most common are due to alcohol, infection and non alcoholic liver disease.

Non alcoholic liver disease refers to liver changes not due to alcohol use. IN this condition , poor diet,increased weight and limited activity cause fat to build up in the liver. This can progress to liver failure if not treated.

To avoid liver disease you can consider reducing your alcohol intake even slightly and also using lifestyle changes to avoid non alcoholic liver disease.
The lifestyle changes include- increased physical activity and reduction in carbohydrate intake (this is turned into fat).

I hope this helps
