Research Proves Fatty Liver Is Best Cured With A Low Carb Diet
Eat less carbohydrate
Poor diet is the leading cause of fatty liver disease. The biggest offenders are sugar and foods made of flour, which should be avoided. Even wholegrain products should be avoided. A high intake of carbohydrate rich foods in general can promote fatty liver, as the liver converts any excess carbohydrate into fat. Foods to get rid of include bread, pasta, rice, breakfast cereals, cakes, pastry, donuts, cookies, biscuits, fries, chips, pretzels (and other similar snack foods) and any food made of flour.
Drink less alcohol
Excess alcohol consumption is the second biggest cause of fatty liver. It is particularly a problem in overweight people who drink or people who have an unhealthy diet and drink. Alcohol can cause inflammation and damage to liver cells, resulting in fatty infiltration. People with a fatty liver should limit alcohol consumption to seven standard drinks per week, with at least two alcohol free days per week.
Eat more vegetables, protein and the right fats
Raw vegetables and fruits are the most powerful liver healing foods. These raw foods help to cleanse and repair the liver filter, so that it can trap and remove more fat and toxins from the bloodstream. Eat an abundance of vegetables (cooked and raw salads) and fresh fruits. If you are short on time you can add vegetables to smoothies along with whey protein powder, as an effective way of boosting the nutrient and antioxidant content of your meals.
Protein is important because it helps to keep the blood sugar level stable, helps with weight loss from the abdomen and reduces hunger and cravings. Protein should be consumed with each meal. Good sources of protein include eggs, poultry, seafood, meat, nuts, seeds and plain or Greek yogurt and cheeses.
Healthy fats to include more of in your diet are found in olive oil, oily fish, coconut oil, flaxseeds, hemp seeds, chia seeds and raw nuts and seeds. Most processed vegetable oils and margarines can worsen a fatty liver. Deep fried foods are also bad for those with a fatty liver.
Drink raw vegetable juices
These should be consumed 2 to 3 times a week and 250 to 300 mls (8 to 10 ounces) is adequate. Your juice should be comprised of 90 to 95 percent vegetables, with the remainder comprised of fruit if desired to improve the flavor. Citrus fruits are the most healthy for the liver. There are many juice ideas in the book Raw Juices Can Save Your Life.
Take a good liver tonic to support your liver function
Livatone Plus contains all the nutrients your liver requires for efficient phase 1 and 2 detoxification. It also contains the herb St Mary’s Thistle, which helps to repair damaged liver cells.
Increase glutathione production
Glutathione is your liver’s most powerful detoxifier and it is strongly anti-inflammatory. If you have a fatty liver you need more of it. N-acetyl cysteine is a precursor of glutathione and is known to raise blood levels powerfully. Eating sulfur rich foods also helps with glutathione; examples include eggs, cabbage, broccoli and garlic.
