According to doctors, foods that reduce fat in the liver and the dangers that cause it

If you adjust your eating habits, it is possible to control the risk of this problem to a large extent. Recently, a gastroenterologist has given important information in this regard.

The liver is one of the most important organs of our body. Its role is immense in everything from blood purification to metabolism control. But due to the irregularities of modern life, excess fast food, sugar and lack of physical exercise, fatty liver has now become a terrible problem. Especially non-alcoholic fatty liver disease is now taking root in the body of many people without their knowledge.

However, there is nothing to fear because, if you adjust your eating habits, it is possible to control the risk of this problem to a large extent. Recently, gastroenterologist Dr. Saurabh Shetty, who is trained at AIIMS, Harvard and Stanford, has given important information in this regard. Let's find out which foods are beneficial for fatty liver and which ones silently cause harm.

Foods that are good and bad for fatty liver

Oil

Good oil: Extra virgin olive oil
The monounsaturated fats and antioxidants in this oil help reduce fat accumulated in the liver.

Bad oil: Repeatedly heated seed oils
These oils produce harmful compounds at high temperatures, which can increase oxidative stress in the liver.

Snacks

Good snacks: Nuts and seeds
Almonds, walnuts, chia seeds, flaxseeds contain healthy fats, fiber, and protein, which are beneficial for the liver.

Bad snacks: Overly processed packaged foods
Food packages that have more than 10 ingredients written on them usually contain excess sugar, salt, and unhealthy fats—which increases the risk of fatty liver.

Carbohydrates

Good carbs: Whole grains
Oats, barley, millet, or native grain foods maintain blood sugar balance and keep the stomach full for a long time.

Bad carbs: Foods made from flour
White bread, cakes, pastries—these foods quickly increase blood sugar and help in fat accumulation in the liver.

Some more important habits to control fatty liver

Even losing a little weight can significantly reduce the fat accumulated in the liver
Include fruits, vegetables, lean protein and healthy fats in your daily diet
Drink enough water, it helps the liver to remove toxins

Regularly walk, run or do light exercise
Adequate sleep (7–9 hours) helps in maintaining proper metabolism

Fatty liver is no longer a rare disease, but it is not right to ignore it either. Only conscious eating habits and a healthy lifestyle can make the liver healthy again. So, you need to be aware of your food choices.
