Hepatitis Does not discriminate, 500 million people are infected

Hepatitis viruses A, B, C, D and E can cause infection and inflammation of the liver. These infections may be acute or chronic. Individuals with chronic infections are likely to develop life- threatening diseases such as cirrhosis and liver cancer later on in life.

Viral hepatitis poses a major global health risk with approximately 240 million people being chronically infected with the hepatitis–B virus and approximately 150 million people being chronically infected with hepatitis C. Despite its prevalence, and the danger that it poses, the disease remains under- diagnosed and poorly- managed.

Proper diet can help prevent a condition associated with hepatitis, namely liver steatosis, or fatty liver disease. Healthy foods and supplements can also enhance your immune system.
