3 foods that are harmful to the liver

Sugary drinks : These include soda and fruit juice. They contain empty calories, harmful sweeteners and preservatives. Even diet sodas are bad because they contain artificial sweeteners like aspartame. Dr. Sethi adds that instead of drinking sugary drinks, he prefers to drink water, coffee or tea.

Fried foods : Most of these foods are harmful to the liver. If you really can't limit fried foods, Sethi recommends frying them in an air fryer, or using avocado oil, olive oil...

Ultra-processed foods : Such as French fries, hot dogs, instant noodles... These foods are highly processed, harmful to liver health. Instead, switch to healthier options such as oats, eggs, or whole grain bread.

3 Foods That Help Reverse Fatty Liver Disease

Healthy drinks : Black coffee, black tea, green tea... are all good for liver health. These drinks are rich in antioxidants that can support liver health. Limit your intake to 1 to 2 cups a day and avoid adding sugar. If you really want something sweet, you can add a little honey. People who have trouble sleeping can choose caffeine-free.

Turmeric : Contains curcumin, which has anti-inflammatory properties. Try adding half to 1 teaspoon of turmeric to your daily diet.

Add fruits like blueberries, broccoli, and beets to your diet. Berries like blueberries and strawberries are rich in antioxidants (anthocyanins), which help improve liver function. Broccoli, on the other hand, contains sulforaphane, which helps boost liver detoxification. Beets are rich in betalains, which help support blood circulation and aid in detoxification.
