What Helps and What Harms Your Liver, Brain, Bones and Muscles
Your body is always telling you what it needs. Dr. Amr Elyamany sums up in one place the habits that help and the habits that harm four key systems.
The liver
- Harms it: too much fat, painkillers taken for no reason, staying up late with little water.
- Helps it: healthy food, plenty of water, a little movement every day.
The brain and nervous system
- Harms it: lack of sleep, stress, using the phone before bed.
- Helps it: good sleep, some exercise, mental rest, plenty of water.
Bones and the movement system
- Harms it: lack of movement, excess weight, sitting at a desk the wrong way.
- Helps it: simple exercises, vitamin D and calcium-rich food.
Muscles
- Weakens them: laziness, which reduces their size and strength.
- Helps them: exercise, good sleep and adequate magnesium.
Key takeaway: Sleep, water, movement and sensible food protect nearly everything at once.
When to see a doctor
- Persistent pain in your bones, joints or muscles
- Constant tiredness, poor sleep or low mood
- Any long-term symptom you have been ignoring
