WALTHAM, MA—The worst thing about the liver disease is that we find out about it only after the damage is done and probably it is too late. The only way to take care our liver, however, is the preventive and pro-active care.

In our Health Talk series, Dr. Naveen Chandra Pandaraboyina, MD, an attending physician at University of Massachusetts Memorial Health Alliance Hospital, and president of Curewell Gastroenterology in Leominster, MA, talks about how to take care of our liver and what role do fat and alcohol play in liver diseases.

In addition, Dr. Pandaraboyina talks about the food to avoid and how much and what kind of alcohol our liver can handle. Do male and female bodies handle alcohol differently? Dr. Pandaraboyina will give an extensive talk on this topic at the Mega Health and Wellness Expo, which will be held on Sunday, April 3, 2016, at Burlington Marriott Hotel in Burlington, MA.

The Expo is organized by INE MultiMedia, a non-profit company devoted to education, empowerment, enrichment and entertainment, in collaboration with INDIA New England News.
