Liver disease is a growing epidemic in the United States affecting around 1 in every 3 Americans. If you have 2 friends, one of you is likely to be infected with some kind of liver disease. Most of the affected people suffer from a fatty liver disease, a disease that is mostly caused by poor nutrition and lifestyle. On the other hand, nutrition and lifestyle are the first areas that will require radical changes if you are diagnosed with a liver condition.
Unfortunately, liver disease is hard to catch at an early stage — it usually starts off with very few symptoms which become more noticeable as the disease progresses.
Similar to the main cause, the most effective liver disease prevention and treatments are linked to nutrition. In fact, 97% of liver health experts rank nutrition as the key factor of liver health followed by medication and exercise, according to the survey. This makes nutrition one of the most crucial components of liver health care regardless of whether your goal is to maintain or improve your liver health.
The absence of high-quality nutrition on the other hand can contribute to developing a liver condition or — if a liver condition is already present — to worsening of the liver status and the outcome of the disease as a result.
But what are exactly the foods that make such a big difference for your liver health?
Foods high in fat, sugar, and salt are considered the most damaging for the liver. Such foods cause the build-up of fats in the liver cells which over time leads to the destruction of healthy cells and weakening of liver function.
On the other hand, a diet that includes an adequate amount of vitamins & minerals, proteins, fiber, complex carbs, is low in salt, sugar, fat, and harmful additives is considered the most beneficial for your liver.

Poor nutritional status in the liver patients as well as the course of the disease itself can cause micronutrient deficiencies characterized by suboptimal levels of fat-soluble and water-soluble vitamins. Such imbalances can cause medical complications such as anorexia, bone pain, immune dysfunction, disrupted protein metabolism and as a result worsen the outcome of a liver disease.
Dealing with the consequences of liver disease is a huge challenge for liver patients. The way the disease unfolds — often causing poor appetite, malabsorption, impaired digestion and liver´s disrupted ability to store vitamins — makes it even harder for the people with liver conditions to maintain a healthy diet and consume enough liver supporting vitamins & minerals.
