In addition, it is important to control diseases that impair the functioning of the liver, such as diabetes and cholesterol, because when proper treatment is not done, cirrhosis and the need for liver transplantation may occur. Here's how the transplant is done here.
Diet for fatty liver
In the diet for fat in the liver avoid eating foods high in fats and sugars, such as red meats, bacon, sausage and stuffed biscuit, as they increase cholesterol and blood sugar, which favors the accumulation of fat in this organ.
In addition, it is important to eliminate consumption of alcoholic beverages and increase consumption of fruits, vegetables and grains such as flaxseed, chia and oats as they are rich in fiber, which help decrease the absorption of fat in the intestine. See all foods allowed and prohibited here.
Physical activity
Practicing physical activity regularly helps increase metabolism, burn fat and control weight, which are important factors in helping to eliminate fat in the liver.
Thus, activities such as walking, jogging or cycling should be part of the treatment at least 4 times a week for 30 to 60 minutes a day.
Controlling diseases
Controlling diseases like diabetes and high cholesterol with proper diet and use of medications is important to regulate body metabolism and prevent fat accumulation.
When diabetes is high, the body needs to turn the excess sugar into fat to try to control blood glucose. In addition, high cholesterol is a sign of excess fat circulating in the blood, it also increases the risk of heart disease such as atherosclerosis.
