Top Food to Prevent Fatty Liver Revealed as Experts Suggest Daily Olive Oil Use
Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is a silent threat affecting one in every four people worldwide, linked to factors such as insulin resistance, high cholesterol, and type 2 diabetes. However, experts assert that this condition can be entirely reversed with the right dietary habits. Specialists in hepatology (the study of liver diseases) have shared the miraculous food they first recommend to their patients to dissolve the fat in liver cells.
The food most emphasized by experts in the treatment of fatty liver disease is not a fruit or vegetable: it's extra virgin olive oil.
Thanks to its monounsaturated 'healthy' fats and plant-based antioxidants called polyphenols, extra virgin olive oil kick-starts the liver's fat-burning mechanism.
Gastroenterology and Hepatology Specialist Dr. Hal Brindley describes extra virgin olive oil as a 'traffic controller' that turns off fat storage signals in the liver and initiates fat burning for energy. Dr. Pradnya Mitroo emphasizes that replacing saturated fats in the kitchen, such as butter and margarine, with extra virgin olive oil significantly reduces liver fat, regardless of weight loss. Experts recommend consuming between 1.5 to 4 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil throughout the day.
In addition to extra virgin olive oil, other nutrients that protect liver cells and prevent tissue damage are as follows:
Fatty Fish (Salmon, Sardines, Mackerel): Thanks to the EPA and DHA type omega3 fatty acids they contain, these fish can lower triglyceride levels in the blood and prevent the formation of new fat in the liver. It's recommended to consume 2-3 servings per week.
Nuts (Walnuts, Almonds, Pistachios): The ALA type omega3, healthy fats, and fibers in these nuts support the intestinal flora and protect the liver. It's suggested to consume a handful daily.
Filtered Coffee: Drinking three cups of pure filtered coffee a day produces compounds in the body that prevent the formation of hard scar tissue (fibrosis) in the liver.
Fatty liver disease, which has become one of the leading causes of liver transplants worldwide, can be kept under control with the addition of these simple yet effective foods to your diet.
