Fatty Liver Disease Causes Explained

14. Managing fatty liver with diet

Diet can help manage fatty liver disease and may even help prevent it. Generally, people with NAFLD should limit their intake of unhealthy fats and simple sugars. Fats are high in calories and can increase the risk of obesity. Avoid trans and saturated fats and replace them with unsaturated fats, like omega-3 fatty acids. Eat low-glycemic foods like fruits, vegetables, and whole grains to maintain healthy blood sugar levels. Avoid refined and processed sugars like fructose or sucrose. If you have NAFLD, you should also avoid drinking alcohol, as it can cause more liver damage.
