A list of healthy foods that fight fatty liver
disease
Fatty liver disease is a medical condition
where fat cells build up in the liver. This
can lead to inflammation, scarring and liver
cirrhosis if left untreated.
The good news is that this is completely reversible
by eating the right foods and correcting the
diet.
Fatty liver disease blocks the liver from
performing its 500+ functions properly, especially
when it comes to filtering out toxins and
storing nutrients.
In today's video we will share with you a
list of healthy foods that fight fatty liver
disease.
Consuming these foods helps to cleanse the
liver and trigger healing at the cellular
level.
1. Garlic
Garlic is by far one of the best foods that
you can consume to improve the health of the
liver. This bulb is rich in sulphur and selenium
which help to detoxify the liver, and help
it to balance hormones. Sulphur helps the
body to produce glutathione, which reverses
fatty liver disease.
2. Beef Liver
Those with none alcoholic fatty liver disease
(NAFLD) are often deficient in choline. Grass
fed beef liver is the best source of this
important nutrient. Choline has a lipotropic
effect, meaning that it can strip away fat
from the liver and reduce inflammation.
3. Egg Yolks
People who follow a low-fat diet are more
likely to get a fatty liver. This is because
important fat-soluble nutrients are needed
by the liver in order to function properly.
Pasture-raised eggs are another rich source
of choline, B vitamins and other nutrients
to trigger healing in the liver.
4. Sauerkraut
This is a form of fermented cabbage often
eaten in Germany. This is extremely healthy
for digestive health and is a rich source
of methionine. Methionine improves liver function
by detoxifying harmful chemicals from the
body.
5. Bone Broth
This is made from boiled animal bones and
contains the three ingredients needed by the
liver to produce glutathione. Glutathione
is a powerful antioxidant which aids in reversing
both alcoholic fatty liver disease (AFLD)
and none alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD)
6. Brussels Sprouts
These are the highest vegetable source of
choline, the essential nutrient needed for
dissolving fat from the liver. We recommend
lightly steaming your vegetables, as this
makes it easier for the body to absorb their
nutrients
7. Broccoli
We highly recommend consuming broccoli on
a regular basis when trying to cleanse, detoxify
and heal the liver. Broccoli is another great
source of choline and also contains sulforaphane
which improves liver function dramatically.
8. Kale
This cruciferous vegetable is one of the most
nutrient dense foods in the world. It contains
more antioxidants than most other plants.
These help to reduce inflammation, help the
liver with detoxification and even help in
stripping fat from the liver itself.
9. Beet Tops
Beet tops are another excellent leafy green
rich in phytonutrients that heal the liver.
The high potassium in beet tops takes the
strain off the liver by helping to balance
blood sugars and regulate hormones.
10. Parsley
People who have a fatty liver tend to have
high estrogen levels, which can cause 'man-boobs'
in men and estrogen dominance in women. A
fatty liver struggles to filter out excess
amounts of this hormone. Consuming parsley
helps the liver to filter out excess estrogen
and other harmful toxins.
11. Apple Cider Vinegar
This is one of nature's most powerful healers
and works by improving digestion. Apple cider
vinegar helps your body to absorb more nutrients
from the foods that you eat. Essential nutrients
must be absorbed in order to reverse fatty
liver disease and heal the liver. Drink a
tablespoon of raw apple cider vinegar in a
glass of water before each meal.
12. Coconut Oil
Switch from using unhealthy vegetable oils
and start cooking with extra virgin coconut
oil. This is rich in MCT's (Medium Chain Triglycerides)
which help to lower inflammation in the liver.
The healthy fats in coconut oil help your
liver to produce bile and detoxify the body.
13. Sardines
When reversing a fatty liver, we must consume
foods that strengthen the gallbladder, as
this works with liver to make bile. Bile is
used to break down and remove the fat that
accumulates in the liver. Omega 3 fatty acids
found in sardines support a healthy gallbladder
and bile production.
14. Turkey
Turkey is one of the greatest source of methionine,
an important amino acid used to build glutathione
in the body. This antioxidant works fast to
help strip fat away from the liver and improve
its overall performance.
15. Radish
These contain a special compound (RsPHGpx)
which breaks down toxins into small particles
and removes them from the liver and blood.
This improves liver function and fights fatty
liver disease.
16. Turmeric
Last but not least, turmeric is a delicious
spice used in India for thousands of years.
This contains curcumin, a powerful compound
that helps to heal liver cells. It also assists
the liver in detoxifying heavy metals and
supports bile production.
As you can see there are many foods that you
can consume to reverse and fight fatty liver
disease.
The liver is one of the only organs in the
body that can completely regenerate, even
after scarring has occurred.
Be sure to consume leafy green cruciferous
vegetables every single day, as these are
absolutely essential in detoxifying the body.
We highly recommend following a healthy ketogenic
diet (Keto) to fully reverse fatty liver disease.
This involves cutting out refined carbohydrates
and eating a high amoount of vegetables and
natural fats.
Remember that nutrients are needed from saturated
fats to heal the liver. Low-fat diets have
been shown to worsen the situation.
Intermittent fasting is another excellent
method for healing the liver. This involves
eating all of your daily calories within a
short window during the day.
This gives your body the opportunity to regenerate
and heal itself at the cellular level.
If you are diagnosed with fatty liver disease,
it is recommended to take a choline supplement
of at least 400mg per day to speed up healing.
