World Liver Day 2025: 19 April
World Liver Day is a joint annual campaign by the Healthy Livers, Healthy Lives Coalition of global associations dedicated to the study of the liver and liver diseases (EASL, AASLD, ALEH, APASL, and SOLDA), working collaboratively to raise awareness and promote liver health worldwide.
World Liver Day 2025, observed on 19 April, emphasises the pivotal role of nutrition in maintaining liver health under the theme “Food is Medicine.”
Join us in highlighting how a balanced diet can prevent disease and support optimal liver function!
More than 1/3 of the global adult population is affected by metabolic dysfunction-associated liver disease. MASLD progression can cause inflammation, scarring, and heighten the chances of developing liver cancer. MASLD is linked to diabetes, obesity, and high cholesterol and is often silent in its early stages. However, it is highly preventable and even reversible through healthy nutrition patterns.
Adopting a diet abundant in minimally processed foods, low in sugar and saturated fats, and high in polyphenols and healthy fats supports liver health. Losing just 5-10% of total body weight can significantly reduce liver fat, curb inflammation, and even reverse early liver damage.
Healthy eating is not equally accessible or affordable for all, and the campaign advocates for policies that promote nutritious food environments. Government initiatives such as dietary guidelines, food labeling, zoning laws, taxes on unhealthy foods, and school meal programmes can facilitate healthier choices.
French lawyer Anthelme Brillat-Savarin famously said, “Tell me what you eat, and I will tell you what you are.” This holds especially true for liver health, as the liver plays a crucial role in breaking down food, storing energy, and filtering toxins. It works non-stop to process nutrients and eliminate waste, but when overburdened—whether by excess fat, alcohol, or toxins—it can become damaged beyond repair. The best way to support your liver? Choose your food wisely—because your liver works as hard as you do.
