Yes, you can. If it’s not cirrhosis, which requires special assistance (but even that can be recovered), you can. It will take discipline on your part and working with a certified Health Coach, but it is very doable.

Hello,
Sometimes could be diarrhea, and, if you consider loss of taste (and smell) related to GI (since those impact eating) they are more prevalent early symptoms to a COV-19 infection. Sometimes, associated with fever or not, those could be the only symptoms experienced. Based on the current reports, loss of taste and smell recede in 1-4 weeks.
Best regards,
Diana

Like any virus or bacterial exacerbation, the function of the affected organ will be affected during the inflammatory phase, mostly due to inflammation. Sometimes regenerative processes can lead to fibrosis- and the liver is a sensitive organ to both processes, because of the intensity of its multiple functions in the body.
Can stopping alcohol consumption prevent liver cirrohosis?

The liver is basically the key detoxifying "factory" in the body, having to process a lot more toxins than just alcohol (for example, any drugs/medicines we take, good additives, etc). So, the question to be asked is when and what are we doing to allow the liver to regenerate or prevent overloading it.
Alcohol consumption alone should not be damaging (if moderate), but when all other toxins have to be processed, then the liver gets easily overloaded. Some things are also cumulative (meaning that they are not so easy to eliminate and, if consumed regularly, will just continue to pile up). Essentially, it is not the extreme of abstinence that is important, it is the moderation in everything and practicing regular liver detox days (every other month or so) that counts.
