Learn How To Treat Fatty Liver From Breakfast

Today we will talk about how it is possible to treat fatty liver from breakfast, the most important meal of the day. While change may take effort at first, over time it will become a habit, and you will gain much better health and quality of life.

If you or someone you know is diagnosed with fatty liver, be aware that it is an absolutely treatable condition  if eating habits are changed to include balanced meals and nutritious foods.

How breakfast helps treat fatty liver

Breakfast will play three main roles in our battle against this condition. The first one is to cleanse the liver, eliminating the toxins that saturate it and the excess fats that inflame it and prevent it from performing its functions properly.

The second function is empowerment. Our liver is able to regenerate itself, creating new healthy, strong cells and tissues. To help you do this we must ingest nutrients, vitamins, minerals and antioxidants.

The third function of breakfast is to protect the liver. It is a very sensitive organ that is usually quite affected by fats, toxic substances, medications, alcohol and tobacco. By eating the right foods, we can preserve and protect their functions.

Tips for treating fatty liver for breakfast

There is no single breakfast to treat this condition, but rather recommendations that can help us choose the meal that works best for each of us.

Fibers

Increasing your fiber intake will help control your blood sugar and cholesterol levels, which is very beneficial when you have a fatty liver.

Include in your breakfast foods such as oats (flakes or flour), whole grains (bread, granola) and fruits such as oranges, pears, kiwis and pineapples.

Omega 3 fatty acids

Omega 3 is very important to protect the liver, so it’s worth including them in your breakfast. Bet on flaxseeds, chia seeds, walnuts, almonds and hazelnuts.

Breakfast options

You can create your own meal by combining these foods with healthy ones, always avoiding saturated fats. An option might be a slice of wholegrain bread with peanut butter and some fruit, for example.

A low- fat yogurt with a fruit and chia seeds (or almonds) can be another alternative. You can also make porridge from rolled oats and eat with fruit, or make a fruit smoothie, oatmeal and chia seeds.

Of course these are just a few options. You can create others that include fiber and omega 3 sources and avoid saturated fats and refined flours.

Infusions to treat fatty liver

In addition to the foods we mentioned, it is also recommended to drink an infusion before breakfast, on an empty stomach, right after waking up. This can be done about 30 minutes before a meal. Infusions are excellent for cleansing, strengthening and protecting the liver, so we’ll teach you three recipes that can help with this task.

1. Artichoke Infusion

Ingredients

• 2 artichokes
• 1 liter of water
• 1 lemon juice

Heat the water and add the artichokes afterwards. Cook them until they are tender and then just stick with the resulting water, which is great for the liver.

Place in a bottle and add lemon juice. Drink a cup on an empty stomach in the morning, and continue drinking this liquid throughout the day.

2. Dandelion Infusion

Ingredients

• 20 g of dried dandelion
• 1 glass of water
• 20 g of a lemon peel

Heat the water. When it comes to a boil, add the dried dandelion and lemon rind. Cook for 15 minutes and then set aside for 10 minutes. Strain the contents and drink it little by little.

3. Milk Thistle Infusion

Ingredients

• 20 g of milk thistle ready for infusion (available in pharmacies and health food stores)
