Dear Djvyas, Thank you for the question.
Fat in the liver can come from diet, increased fat production in the liver, or decreased ability of the liver to clear the fat. Genetics can affect all of these processes. Diets that contain high amounts of carbohydrates and sugars (including fructose and high fructose corn syrup) can stimulate fat production in the liver cells.
Lifestyle alteration, including dietary modifications plays an important role in the managemnt of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD).
Here are few nutritional guidelines to manage fatty liver
• Have a Diversified Balanced Diet that includes all the food groups in the right quantity which thereby provides you with all the essential macro and micro nutrients that your body requires daily for proper functioning.
• Consume minimum 5 servings of vegetables and 1 serving of fruit as they are rich in Fiber, essential minerals & Vitamins as well as they give you a feeling of satiety.
• Limit intake of deep-fried foods. Method of cooking like baking, grilling, boiling, steaming is preferable over deep frying with excess fat/ oil.
• Try to consume more of Whole grains, Millets and Multigrain foods as they are a good source of fiber.
• Try switching from saturated fats and trans fats to MUFA (mono-unsaturated fatty acids) & PUFA (polyunsaturated fatty acids) as they are essential fatty acids and are good for your health.
• Carbonated and alcoholic beverages to be limited or preferably avoided.
• Engage in at least 30-45 minutes of physical activity of moderate intensity such as walking for at least five days a week.
