A fatty liver diet plan should be comprehensive in its approach to not only improving the health of the liver, but also the overall health of the human body. Whatever you consume, whether good or bad, finds its way through the liver before being distributed to other areas of the body. It performs more than 200 functions, the liver is an important organ, and a healthy liver is generally compatible with a healthy body.
Fatty liver disease (FLD) results when triglycerides make up more than 5-10% of the weight of the liver. Fat accumulates in and around the liver cells (liver cells) causing the liver to enlarge and become heavier. When this happens, some patients complain of abdominal pain, discomfort, and a “stuffing” sensation in the lower torso area on the right side of the body.
For the most part, fatty liver in its early stages (minor steatosis) is an asymptomatic condition. Many patients are not aware that the condition exists until it has worsened. When this occurs, symptoms may include weakness, fatigue, nausea, loss of appetite, confusion, abdominal pain, and jaundice. If not treated through diet and exercise, fatty liver disease can progress to cirrhosis or liver cancer and can be fatal.
There is no treatment for fatty liver. However, this does not mean that the condition cannot be cured, slowed, or even reversed. Although alternative treatment methods such as the use of vitamin C and E, Epsom salts, milk thistle, and a variety of different medications exist and are gaining popularity in some medical circles, proper diet and exercise are still the best way to combat fatty liver disease.
The best diets for people with fatty liver disease follow some basic principles. Here is a quick analysis that can help you if you have alcoholic or non-alcoholic FLD.
- Focus on foods rich in complex carbohydrates such as brown rice and whole grains.
- Reduce your consumption of refined and simple carbohydrates such as those found in sugar, white bread, egg noodles, cakes and many sweets.
- Eat plenty of fruits and vegetables every day. Quick tip: Raw vegetable juices can be very healthy for the liver.
- Stay away from fried, fatty and processed foods, especially processed meats such as sausages and sausages.
- Minimize and reduce the intake of dairy products. When eating dairy products, focus on organic yogurt, ricotta cheese, and/or cottage cheese. You can also choose soy and rice milk instead of whole or 2% milk.
- Margarine and excessive consumption of fatty seasonings such as salad dressings, sweetened fruit juices, energy drinks and alcohol should be avoided.
- Focus on lean, white meat such as chicken or turkey rather than beef or pork. Free meat is best because it does not contain harmful steroids, growth hormones, and other antibiotics.
- Drink plenty of water (at least 2 liters per day).
