Vaccination: Get yourself and your loved ones vaccinated for hepatitis A and B to protect yourselves.

Practice good hygiene: Hepatitis A and E are often transmitted through contaminated food and water. So, to prevent it and keep yourself safe, ensure you wash your hands thoroughly before cooking, eating, and after eating. Ensure you wash fruits and vegetables thoroughly with some salt and clean water before you cook or eat them raw. Only drink clean water. If you are not sure how clean the water is, you can boil it and drink it when it is cool.

Practice safe sex: Hepatitis B, C, and D can be transmitted through sex. So, to protect yourself, ensure you use a condom when having sex. Also, it won’t hurt for you and your partner to get tested if you both are sexually active.

Avoid sharing needles: Hepatitis B and C can be transmitted from one infected person to another if they both share a needle or any other object that comes in contact with blood. With this in mind, avoid sharing needles, razors, hair clippers, and toothbrushes with anyone, even if the person is a close family relative. You never really know who has this illness.

Adopt a healthy lifestyle: Finally, maintain a healthy lifestyle to support and improve your liver function. This includes eating well-balanced meals, regularly exercising, and avoiding excessive consumption of alcohol or avoiding it altogether.
