There are two major types of fatty liver disease — alcohol-induced and nonalcoholic fatty liver disease. Fatty liver disease affects nearly one-third of American adults and is one of the leading contributors to liver failure. Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease is most commonly diagnosed in those who are obese or sedentary and those who eat a highly processed diet.
A diet for fatty liver disease should include a wide variety of foods.
Reducing calorie intake and eating high fiber, natural foods is a good starting point. Eating foods that contain complex carbohydrates, fiber, and protein can provide sustained energy and promote satiety.
Foods that reduce inflammation or help the body repair its cells are equally important.
One of the main ways to treat fatty liver disease, regardless of type, is with diet. As the name suggests, fatty liver disease means you have too much fat in your liver. In a healthy body, the liver helps to remove toxins and produces bile, the digestive protein. Fatty liver disease damages the liver and prevents it from working as well as it should.
In general, the diet for fatty liver disease includes:
lots of fruits and vegetableshigh-fiber plants like legumes and whole grainsvery little added sugar, salt, trans fat, refined carbohydrates, and saturated fatno alcohol
