INTRODUCTION

Fatty Liver is more common than you think. It affects 30% to 40% of adults in America. If you have been diagnosed with this condition, the right diet and lifestyle changes will help to reserve the condition and give new live to your liver and your body. The fatty liver diet is recommended for anyone with a fatty liver but it is also beneficial to individuals that have not been undiagnosed. Adhering to this diet can improve your health dramatically.

Many people have successfully treated fatty liver disease with food by eliminating foods that increase the accumulation of fat in the liver. By eating the right foods, all symptoms of this disease have been greatly reduced. Liver damage is reversed and excess fat in the liver is eliminated. Even if you have not been diagnosed with fatty liver disease, this diet will serve as an effective preventative eating plan that will ensure that you stay healthy, maintain healthy body weight and never have to bother about fatty liver.

What Is Fatty Liver?

Fatty Liver is a condition where an excessive amount of fat has accumulated in the liver. It is one of the main causes of liver failure. The liver should normally have some measure of fat but when it passes a certain percentage of the weight, it becomes problematic. Excess fat deposits damage the liver and hinder it from performing its primary function which is the removal of toxins and production of bile. This condition is usually linked with alcoholism but these days, nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is becoming more common.

There are two main types of fatty liver disease:

1. Alcoholic liver disease (ALD)

Alcoholic liver disease occurs as a result of chronic alcohol consumption. Chronic drinkers expose their livers to inflammation and scarring. ALD is manageable and can be reversed if you work with a qualified medical practitioner.

2. Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD)

This book focuses on the type of fatty liver disease that is more common – nonalcoholic fatty liver disease. Recent estimates reveal that over 30% of American adults have NAFLD. It is even more ominous because most people do not show any symptoms. Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease is diagnosed commonly in people who are obese, those who eat a diet with a high amount of processed food and those who lead sedentary lives. However there are other factors that can put you at risk of developing this condition.

Here are the risk factors for NAFLD:

– Obesity, excess weight or excess belly fat

– Genetics

– Autoimmune or inherited liver disease

– Medications

– Malnutrition

– Viral hepatitis

Fatty liver can come with symptoms such as tiredness, weakness, nausea, loss of appetite and trouble with concentration. Alternatively, it may not have easily identifiable symptoms.

The basic test for fatty liver is a blood test to determine if there are fatty deposits in the liver. It is sometimes necessary to follow this test with an MRI for further confirmation.

Note:

Both non-alcoholic fatty liver disease and alcoholic fatty liver disease lead to buildup of excess fat in the liver. The difference between them is that one is caused by excess alcohol consumption while the other is caused mainly by eating the wrong type of foods.

What To Eat For Fatty Liver

As mentioned earlier, a change in eating habits is the primary way to prevent or reverse fatty liver. A change in diet is effective for treating the two types of fatty liver disease. The fatty liver diet is closely related to the Mediterranean diet. It includes healthy oils, plenty of fruits and vegetables, lean meat and seafood. Processed foods, full-fat dairy and refined carbs are avoided.

Foods To Eat

1. Greens and fruits

Fresh vegetables and fruits are good sources of antioxidants that fight liver inflammation. They provide the vitamins and minerals that the body needs for optimal function of the liver. The fiber contained in these fruits and vegetables also help to reduce excessive fat from your bloodstream. Blueberries, raspberries, cherries, papaya, avocado, citrus fruits, grapefruit, asparagus, broccoli, Brussels sprouts, tomatoes, spinach, kale and other fruits and greens are great for general weight loss and prevention of fat buildup.

2. Nuts and seeds

Nuts and seeds contain a lot of vitamins, antioxidants and omega-3 fatty acids that protect the liver and improve its function. These include sunflower seeds, flaxseed, chia seeds, walnuts, Brazil nuts, almonds and more.

3. Soy and other plant protein

Tofu and other foods that contain soy protein have been shown to have the ability to reduce buildup of fat in the liver. Additionally, tofu is high in protein and low in fat. Protein helps to balance insulin and blood sugar levels and supplies the amino acids required for optimal liver function. Good sources include lentils &
