Exercise helps tremendously as well as avoiding OTC medications and paracetamol and aspirins
Thanks for this helpful post.

I dont smoke, and I dont take OTC (or illegal) drugs . I suppose I could exercise a bit more though, but I fail to see how this can help the liver. Does it help through oxygenation??

I'm probably looking at 6 months minimum then
