Most of us don’t give our livers a second thought until they give us problems. Most of us also seem to believe that liver problems only happen to alcoholics. There is a very common problem among Americans called non-alcoholic fatty liver disease which is about to become the most common type of liver disease in this country. More than 30 million people are afflicted with this disease which can lead to cirrhosis of the liver, cancer, even complete liver failure.

As the name implies, this liver disease is not from hitting the bars once too often, nor is it from Hepatitis. It’s generally caused by nothing more than our standard American diet, which includes too much sugar, salt, and carbs.

Although some fat in the liver is normal, when the buildup begins to reach the 10 percent fat mark, you are an official member of the fatty liver club. Besides diet, there are other risk factors for fatty liver disease including high blood pressure, obesity, high cholesterol, rapid weight loss, hepatitis, diabetes, and malnutrition.

Most people have no idea that they have fatty liver disease until the disease has progressed substantially. Typical symptoms of advanced fatty liver disease are a loss of appetite, fatigue, abdominal discomfort, general feelings of un-wellness, and vagueness that something “just isn’t right.”

There is no current treatment for fatty liver disease, however, this is a completely reversible condition and can often be treated with simple home remedies and some dietary and lifestyle changes.

Keep reading for the top 12 natural ways you can treat and reverse fatty liver disease.

 

1.  Milk Thistle

Perhaps the best herb in the world for any type of liver problem. This herb helps your liver to regenerate itself and create new liver cells. Milk thistle protects your liver by stopping compounds that can damage the liver further. Milk thistle contains two powerful compounds called silymarin and glutathione, which are two of the most important nutrients you can consume for both liver detoxification and restoration of the liver.

 

2. Garlic

Increase your consumption of raw garlic. Not only is garlic good for the heart but it also improves liver function by flushing away toxins. Garlic is also loaded with two compounds, selenium and alllicin, which are known to protect the liver. Crush a clove or two of raw, organic garlic and wait about 10 minutes for these protective compounds to be released. Now swallow them whole and you are done! If the taste is too strong for you, chop up a few cloves and add them to your salads, stir fry, or vegetable dishes.

 

3.  Apple Cider Vinegar

This is an old home remedy for liver problems. Apple cider vinegar can help to remove accumulated fat in and around the liver as well as encouraging weight loss. Adding this natural substance to your daily diet can encourage healthy liver function and reduce inflammation. Simply add 1 tablespoon of raw, unfiltered apple cider vinegar to a glass of water. You can add a bit of honey if this is too sour for your tastes. Drink this mixture twice per day before meals.

 

4.  Amla

Sometimes called Indian Gooseberry, amla is another effective remedy for liver problems. This fruit is high in antioxidants and vitamin C, both of which help the keep the liver functioning at its best. Amla is also good for those with high cholesterol, high blood pressure, or diabetes. You can eat 3 or 4 amla each day and help to remove toxins from your liver while you enjoy this delightful fruit.
