1. EAT YOUR VEGETABLES
Dark leafy greens, deeply coloured fruits and cruciferous vegetables are particularly good for your liver, as are beans. These also aid weight loss, which reduces the risk of fatty liver disease.
2.DROP THE SUGAR
People often think of alcohol as most harmful to your liver, but in fact, sugar — and sugar-filled drinks like pop — have a similar effect.
Some of the studies that are coming to the forefront now talk about the impact of sugar on the liver being exactly the same as alcohol. A can of soda does the same thing as a shot of tequila.
3. GET VACCINATED FOR HEPATITIS
Hepatitis A and B are both liver diseases — and both are preventable with a vaccine. Ask your doctor if you need a shot. Also consider getting tested for hepatitis C.

4. WATCH YOUR MEDS
Tell your doctor everything you’re taking — combining herbal medicine, vitamins, over the counter drugs and prescription medications can be harmful for your liver.
People don’t realize taking too much acetaminophen (Tylenol) can damage your liver. During cold and flu season, it’s easy to accidentally take too much by popping an all-purpose pill and taking acetaminophen after.
Combining acetaminophen and alcohol — by taking a pill at night to prevent a morning hangover — is also damaging.
5. PICK ECO-CLEANING PRODUCTS
Your liver’s job is to process toxins and that includes those in the environment that you breathe in or ingest. With those toxins, they actually have to be filtered out by the liver.
Using eco-friendly products in your home is a simple way to reduce your toxic load.
LIVER PROTECTION WHILE ON STEROID CYCLE
Anabolic oral steroids put stress on the liver. Not all of them has the same negative impact however all 17A oral steroids will affect in a way your liver. 17 alpha alkylation refers to the addition of an alkyl group (either a methyl or ethyl) to the alpha position of the 17 carbon in the steroid backbone. By adding this methyl group at the 17a position the major route of androgen deactivation is avoided. The additional methyl stops the oxidation of the steroid to a 17-keto steroid. This allows a large part of the steroid to avoid the first pass metabolism and degradation in the liver.
How important is my liver?
The liver is such an important organ that we can only survive one or two days if it shuts down—if the liver fails, your body will fail too. Fortunately, the liver can function even when 75% of it is diseased or removed. This is because it has the amazing ability to create new liver tissue (i.e. it can regenerate itself) from healthy liver cells that still exist.
In this group are steroids such as: Dbol (Methandrostenolone), Oxymetholone, Methyltestosterone, Oxandrolone.
It is worth mentioning that not every bodybuilder is affected by the use of these steroids.
I mean not every user will feel negative impact. There are people who may take orals for many years and their health will not be affected. In the same time there are bodybuilders who will do a cycle of orals and they will feel small pains in liver’s region.
If you are from second group then better avoid using orals and use injectables steroids as they will not affect your liver in such measure as orals do.
However if you need using orals then better to keep your liver health then after to treat it.
