The liver is the organ that acts as a scavenger, synthesizer and buffer substances such as fats, proteins, carbohydrates, vitamins and minerals. If this does not work in the right way, it can cause internal disorders in the body.
One of the problems that most afflict the population is non-alcoholic fatty liver, a term that refers to the accumulation of fat in the body and that most often is caused by obesity and overweight, although other factors such as diabetes and high triglycerides.
What foods should consume a person with fatty liver?
When you have a liver disease, diet is limited so that the body does not collapse. The person diagnosed with fatty liver should divide their food into five times, reducing simple sugars (soda, ice cream, pastries, desserts, jams, milkshakes and sweets) diet at its best, control inputs of complex carbohydrates ( cereals, derivatives, tubers, bananas) in the diet and increase consumption of fruit, vegetables and fiber; this with the goal of creating mechanisms to protect the liver.
Also, the patient should consume one to two servings daily of lean meats. For example, the Colombian Association of Pork Producers pork recommends its low intake of cholesterol, and 100 grams of this meat contribute only 3.2 grams of total fat. This protein is also rich in monounsaturated fats (100 g pork loin containing 48% of oleic fatty acids) which protect the liver and heart. These fats are also found in olive oil and canola oil.
