Happy International Youth Day 2025!
Today is about celebrating the energy, ideas, and potential of young people everywhere.
As the first liver health organization in Canada created specifically for young adults, the Liver Awareness Foundation is here to empower young people with the knowledge, tools, and support they need to protect their liver health.
Liver Disease Can Develop Silently
Your liver plays a role in almost every system in your body. It filters toxins, processes nutrients, supports your immune system, and fuels your energy. Yet, liver disease often develops silently without obvious symptoms until it becomes advanced.
In recent years, liver disease has been rising in young adults. Factors like high stress lifestyles, alcohol use, poor nutrition, and untreated infections can all contribute. Awareness and early action can change the story.
Youth Power in Liver Health
International Youth Day is about action, innovation, and community. That applies to your health too. By taking simple steps now, you can dramatically reduce your risk of liver disease:
Stay informed about the risks and early signs.
Prioritize balanced nutrition and active living.
Ask about regular checkups and talk to your doctor about liver health.
Know your numbers through routine blood work or screenings.
This Is Your Time
Your health today shapes your future. Protecting your liver is not only about preventing disease, it is about keeping your body strong so you can show up for every opportunity ahead.
On this International Youth Day, we are calling on young adults everywhere to learn about your liver, start conversations with your friends, and be the generation that takes liver health seriously.
This Is Just the Beginning
Join the movement, share this message, and take one step today toward protecting your future.
What’s Next
We are just getting started. Check out the trailer for the Mind Your Liver™ Podcast, where we bring together leading hepatologists, scientists, and young voices to talk openly about liver health, stigma, and the silent threats too many people miss.
We’re excited to start this journey with you!
