Just getting up regularly can also create many good habits, helping you change your behavior in a positive and sustainable way. Standing not only helps the body move but also contributes to building and maintaining muscle mass - a very important factor for people with liver disease, especially cirrhosis, because they often lose muscle and are weak.
Limiting sitting for longer and standing more also supports the liver in another way, which is to help control blood sugar better. Fatty liver disease is often associated with insulin resistance. Therefore, maintaining a healthy lifestyle with a balanced diet and regular exercise will help reduce insulin resistance, thereby protecting the liver. At the same time, it prevents other diseases such as diabetes, high blood pressure or atherosclerosis.
Standing cannot completely replace physical activity, but this is a simple way to support the liver and blood sugar, especially when you have to sit at work for a long time.
The liver is the center of metabolism, constantly interacting with both muscle and fat. The liver not only metabolizes protein, fat, carbohydrates, but is also a core organ to maintain health. Therefore, instead of just thinking of the liver as a place to filter toxins, we should consider small habits such as standing instead of sitting, which are also a practical way to support and protect the liver.
