5.  Lemon Juice

This sour fruit contains high levels of vitamin C, which is a vital antioxidant that encourages the liver to make more enzymes called glutathione. Glutathione neutralizes toxins. Lemons also contain a substance called naringenin, which helps to stop inflammation of the liver, according to a study done in 2014 and published in the journal Clinical and Experimental Pharmacology and Physiology. Simply squeeze the juice from half of an organic lemon into a glass of water and drink this two or three times each day. If you happen to be one of the rare people who really enjoy lemons, feel free to eat one every day, but be certain to rinse your mouth well with plain water afterwards to avoid damage to your teeth.

6.  Papaya

Wow, bet you never thought something so tasty could do so much for your liver! Ayurvedic medicine says that both the fruit and seeds of papayas are an effective treatment for fatty liver disease. Papaya also helps to burn off dietary fats, which is one of the main causes of fatty liver disease. You can eat a big slice of papaya each day, then grind 5 or 6 of the dried seeds and mix this powder with 1 tablespoon of organic lemon juice. Add this mixture to a glass of water and drink twice a day.

 

7.  Dandelion

This little flowering plant is actually a powerful liver tonic cleverly disguised as a garden weed. Dandelion encourages properly liver function while it also helps to detoxify and metabolize the fat that has accumulated around and inside the liver.  The leaves of dandelion also help to prevent and treat obesity related fatty liver disease, according to a 2013 study which was published in the journal Food and Chemical Toxicology.

 

8. Dietary Changes

Sometimes simple dietary changes are all that is needed to reverse fatty liver disease. Eating a mainly plant based diet rich in vegetables, fruits, nuts, seeds, and healthy fats can improve your liver function and treat liver problems. Make the following changes to your diet:

  • Avoid high fructose corn syrup at all costs. This is believed to be the major cause of fatty liver disease.
  • Eat plenty of foods rich in omega-3 fatty acids such as salmon, fish oils, tofu, walnuts, and flax seeds.
  • Avoid white flour and foods made from white flour including pasta and bread.
  • Eat liver repairing foods such as kale, cabbage, broccoli, and spinach.
  • Avoid spicy foods, fried foods, and processed meats such as hot dogs.
  • Eat more foods rich in fiber such as apples, blueberries, pomegranates. Avoid drinking too much juice or eating too much fruit as they can be high in sugar.
