The best foods for Fatty Liver

Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is the new silent killer. +30% of people have it.

But a specific food fights this… with passion.

Example from a new study in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition: 22% improvements from one type.

In a recent study, researchers found that flavonoid-rich foods—such as apples, tea, red peppers, and dark chocolate — protect against nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD).

By analyzing data from more than 120,000 adults over a 10-year period, they uncovered some impressive results.

Takeaways:

1. Reduced NAFLD Risk: Those who consumed the most flavonoids were 19% less likely to develop NAFLD.

2. Specific Food Benefits: Regular apple eaters saw a 22% reduction in risk, while tea drinkers enjoyed a 14% lower risk of developing NAFLD.

3. Additional Protective Foods: Dark chocolate and red peppers also helped reduce the likelihood of NAFLD.

MRI scans also revealed that participants with a high flavonoid intake had less liver fat and lower inflammation markers than those who consumed less:

1. Liver Fat Reduction: Those who consumed the most flavonoid-rich foods had 5.3% less liver fat, especially from apples, tea, and dark chocolate.

2. Lower Inflammation: Tea and red peppers were linked to reduced inflammation, as indicated by lower cT1 values—a marker of liver fat.

Flavonoids are only the first step in reversing NAFLD. Thousands of readers now have fat-free livers. How? They made a few more diet changes, explained here…
