FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
November 25, 2024
OTTAWA – With the Government of Canada’s announcement of a temporary GST holiday on some alcoholic beverages, snacks and other food items, the Canadian Liver Foundation (CLF) is urging Canadians to make liver-friendly choices this coming holiday season.
Be Aware of Your Liver Health
The liver is involved in processing everything you eat and drink and is a crucial part of your overall health. Consistent or over-indulgence of alcoholic and sugary foods during the holidays can put significant stress on your liver and create long-term health challenges. The CLF encourages Canadians to take simple steps to reduce these risks:
Mocktails: A Festive and Health-Conscious Trend
Mocktails are increasingly popular, offering a tasty and creative way to celebrate without alcohol. These non-alcoholic beverages are an excellent way to enjoy the holidays while prioritizing liver health.
“Mocktails are a wonderful way to enjoy the celebration without compromising your health,” says Jennifer Nebesky, CEO of the Canadian Liver Foundation. “They’re not only delicious, but they also set a positive example for children, showing that healthy choices can be fun and festive.”
Get Involved
The Canadian Liver Foundation remains committed to advancing liver health through education, support, and research. For holiday health tips, mocktail recipes, and more information about the Foundation’s initiatives, visit liver.ca.
