Engaging in unsafe sex
Having unsafe sex, particularly with multiple partners, could be a bigger threat to your liver health than you may realize. The biggest and most significant risk is that you could contract hepatitis, a potentially deadly liver disease that can be transmitted sexually. ‘While there are three common forms—A, B, and C—the one you want to look out for when it comes to sexual activity is hepatitis B, which can be spread through direct contact with blood or bodily fluids, not just blood or feces, like the other two,’ says Dr. Brown. To protect your liver and your overall health, it’s vital to practice safe sex, every single time.
