If someone had just 90 days to focus on their liver, their journey would begin with mindful choices, clean water, balanced meals, less alcohol, and safe medication use.🌿
They’d give importance to daily exercise, restorative sleep, and stress management, knowing the liver thrives when the body is in harmony. In three months, small changes could mean a stronger, healthier liver for life.💪

The brighter your plate, the better your liver feels.✨

Your liver is the only organ that can regenerate.🧬 But does that mean it’s invincible?
Absolutely not. Fatty liver, hepatitis, or cirrhosis can slowly break it down — sometimes with zero symptoms.Treat it with care before it’s forced to repair.

Staying hydrated, cutting back on sugar, moving your body daily, avoiding unnecessary painkillers, and eating your greens are simple everyday actions that go a long way.🥗

These small, consistent habits help prevent liver damage, reduce fat buildup, and keep your system functioning smoothly.Start now, because a healthier liver means a healthier you.✨

🌍💚 World Organ Donation Day – August 13 💚🌍

Today, we join the world in raising our voices for a cause that gives the gift of life. 🫶
Organ donation saves millions of lives each year, yet many are still waiting for that life-changing call. We stand with liver patients, transplant recipients, caregivers, and their families — offering support, resources, and advocacy every step of the way. 💪🫁💛

You have the power to change a life — one decision can be someone’s second chance. ✨
Let’s break the myths, spread awareness, and encourage more people to say YES to organ donation. 📝✅

💚 Be a donor. Save lives. Leave a legacy. 💚

At Liver Diseases & Transplant Association of Kenya (LiDTAK), we shine a special light on liver donation — a truly unique miracle of medicine.

🪴 Why is liver donation so special?
✅ It regenerates – The liver is the only solid organ that can grow back to full size in both donor and recipient within months.
✅ Living donors save lives – You don’t have to wait until after death to donate; a healthy person can give a portion of their liver while still alive.
✅ It’s often the only cure – For many with liver failure, a transplant is the only way to survive.
✅ Every second counts – Liver disease can worsen quickly, making timely donation vital.

💚 By saying YES to liver donation, you’re not just giving an organ — you’re giving someone a second chance at life and leaving a legacy of hope.

📢 Let’s break the myths, raise awareness, and save more lives together.
Be a donor. Save lives. Leave a legacy. ✨
