Our friends at the Hepatitis B Foundation (http://www.hepb.org) offer the following helpful tips:

• Avoid alcohol and smoking as they can be extremely harmful to a liver already infected with the hepatitis B virus.
• Although there is no special diet for people who have chronic hepatitis B, a healthy, well-balanced diet that is low-fat and includes plenty of vegetables is recommended.
• Avoid eating raw shellfish, since they can contain bacteria that are harmful to your liver.
