Several researchers have been trying to find the best treatment of fatty liver. This is a condition brought about by excess fats in the liver. Although there is no cure for fatty liver, there have been several opinions as to how to treat the disease.
How to treat a fatty liver would depend on what kind it is - alcoholic or non alcoholic. These two have different causes. The first one, alcoholic fatty liver, is brought about by excessive alcohol intake; while the second one, non alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is brought about by other causes not related to alcohol such as, but not limited to, obesity and diabetes.
In finding the treatment of fatty liver, there are some interesting discoveries that have been found to help reverse the condition.
Silymarin
Silymarin can be found in an herb called milk thistle. Silymarin is an excellent antioxidant and can protect the liver from toxins and damage. It can also help in healthy cell regeneration, which is needed by the damaged liver cells. With a healthier liver, there is also an increased possibility that the liver can respond better to fatty liver or even cirrhosis.
Essential Fatty Acids
The good kind of fats, essential fatty acids help in building healthy cell membranes around the liver cells. Instead of overworking the liver with foods that are high in bad fats (margarines, dairy products, deep fried foods, processed oils, preserved meats, and fatty meats), one should opt for the good fats that contain the essential fatty acids.
These essential fatty acids can be found in avocados and fish like sardines, mackerel, tuna, sablefish, salmon, and bass. They can also be found in seeds such as sesame seeds, help seeds, sunflower seeds, and flaxseeds. Moreover, essential fatty acids can be found in vegetable oils and seed oils like borage oil, evening primrose oil, and black currant seed oil. Instead of using butter on your breads, you should also try using hummus, tomato paste, freshly minced garlic, or pesto.
Natural and Organic
Fresh and organic fruits and vegetables are also very helpful to the liver since they do not overwork the liver. They also provide necessary nutrients and vitamins needed by the liver and by other organs in the body.
Exercise
Aside from having a well-balanced diet, it is also important to regularly exercise so that fat can be eliminated slowly. Patients who have regular exercise with proper diet have shown gradual weight reduction and improved overall health, especially an improved liver. Thus, it is important that a treatment of fatty liver should both include a proper diet plan and an exercise program.
