Eat Healthy Foods:

Following a healthy diet can help you deal with the fatty liver effectively. Here are a few diet tips which can help you have a healthy diet for a good health of your liver.

a. Foods To Add To Your Diet:

Add a lot of fruits, vegetables, high-fiber plants, such as legumes and whole grains, to your diet. Make sure you have very little added sugar, and minimum addition of salt, trans fat, refined carbohydrates, and saturated fat to your diet, as high amount of these substances in the diet elevate the risk of developing the non-alcoholic fatty liver disease.

b. Limit Fructose:

Make sure you limit your fructose consumption to 25 grams or less a day to protect your liver.

c. Choose To Include Good Quality Of Fats In Diet:

Inflammatory fats in the diet, such as processed vegetable oils (soy, canola, corn) and saturated fats from animals raised in confined feedlots (CAFOs), may contribute to the vicious cycle and, due to it, your liver health may decline. So, avoid such harmful fats. Prefer to include good quality fats in your diet.

d. Liver-Friendly Foods:

High fiber, low carb vegetables, such as broccoli, cauliflower, brussels sprouts, and leafy greens, are some of the healthiest choices which you can make for a good health of your liver.
Caffeine appears to lower the number of abnormal liver enzymes in people who are at risk for liver diseases. Caffeine intake minimizes the risk of development of the non-alcoholic fatty liver disease.
Fatty fish, such as salmon, sardines, tuna, and trout, are high in omega-3 fatty acids. Omega-3 fatty acids can help improve your liver fat levels and reduce the inflammation.
Dairy is high in whey protein, which may protect the liver from further damage. So, include dairy products, which are rich in whey protein, in your diet.
Beetroot is another healthy food for the liver. It minimizes the oxidative damage and inflammation in the liver. It contains betaine, which promotes thinning of the bile and helps detoxification. Pancreatic lipase is another nutrient which is considered as the main digestive enzyme used to break down fats. Ox bile too is crucial as it gives your bile production an extra boost while your liver is healing. Also, Collinsonia root, a traditional herbal remedy, cleanses your gallbladder and prevent constipation.
