2. Yellowing of the skin or eyes (jaundice)
A yellow tint to the skin or eyes means that bilirubin is accumulating, indicating that your liver is not processing waste products effectively.
What to do: See a doctor immediately. Avoid alcohol and fatty foods to reduce the strain on the liver.
For illustrative purposes only
3. Dark urine despite drinking water
Urine that remains dark even when you are hydrated may indicate that your liver is not filtering properly.
What to do: Drink more water and see a doctor for liver function tests.
4. Pale or clay-colored stools
Your liver produces bile for digestion. If your stools are pale or clay-colored, the flow of bile may be blocked.
What to do: Monitor your digestion and eat liver-friendly foods like artichokes, beets, and turmeric.
5. Abdominal pain or swelling
Pain or bloating in the upper right part of the abdomen – where the liver is located – may indicate inflammation or fat accumulation.
What to do: Eat lighter meals and make an appointment for a check-up with your doctor. Yoga or light walking may help relieve symptoms
