These essential fats help reduce inflammation and prevent fat accumulation in the liver.
Walnut
Walnuts are packed with omega-3 fatty acids and antioxidants such as ellagic acid, catechin, and melatonin. These compounds protect the liver from damage.
Avocado
Avocados are high in monounsaturated fats and fibers, which help to lower LDL (bad cholesterol) levels and increase HDL (good cholesterol). They also contain chemicals like persenone A and B, which might slow liver damage.
Coffee
Coffee contains high amounts of antioxidants, including chlorogenic and caffeic acid. These compounds protect the liver from disease, increase antioxidant levels, and reduce the risk of chronic liver disease.
Tofu
Tofu is a good source of soy protein, without the added fats and cholesterol found in animal proteins. Soy protein contains essential amino acids necessary for tissue repair and growth.
Green Tea
Green tea is rich in antioxidants known as catechins, specifically epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG). These compounds help prevent oxidative stress and inflammation in the liver.
Garlic
Garlic contains several potent bioactive compounds, including allicin, ajoene, and diallyl sulfides. These compounds have been shown to reduce cholesterol and blood pressure, and they also have potent anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects.
Broccoli
A study published in the Journal of Nutrition found that long-term consumption of broccoli helped prevent fatty liver and liver cancer by supporting antioxidant defenses and decreasing oxidative stress in the liver.
Olive Oil
A study found that consuming olive oil can help reduce liver enzyme levels and control weight, which can improve symptoms of NAFLD.
Spinach
Spinach is a good source of betaine, a compound that helps promote liver health and reduce fat accumulation in the liver. A study in the Journal of the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics found that betaine could help improve liver function in patients with NAFLD.
