New Delhi, 18 April (IANS). Medical experts on Friday highlighted that there is a significant relationship between liver health and our food. If we can bring healthy changes in our lifestyle, then liver related diseases can be reduced by 50 percent.
Before World Liver Day (19 April), doctors said that the treasure of health is hidden in our food. Nowadays, liver related diseases are increasing in cities as well as villages.
Earlier, the cause of liver disease was mostly considered alcohol, but now people are suffering from ‘non-alcoholic fatty liver disease’ without drinking alcohol. The reason for this is wrong eating, obesity and lack of physical activities.
A large research published in the magazine called ‘Frontiers in Nutrition’ suggests that people who eat such things that increase the body (eg fried and processed) have the risk of serious liver disease, which includes chronic liver disease (CLD). On the contrary, this danger decreases in meditrarenian diet and good nutritional food.
Dr. Sanjeev Saigal, president of the Liver Transplantation Society of India, says, “About 50 percent of liver diseases can only be prevented from improving food. The damage to the liver due to alcohol, processed food and lazy lifestyle can also be cured by proper diet.”
The liver has a tremendous ability to cure itself. If the right lifestyle is adopted in time, then the damage of years can also be rectified back. If we eat fresh fruits, green vegetables, whole grains and protein, then not only can the disease be avoided, but the liver can also be repaired.
Dr. Saigal says, “When patients start eating clean and balanced food, the liver condition gets better, energy returns in the body and good health remains for a long time. For this it is necessary that we read food packets and eat less processed food.”
If we adopt fresh fruits, vegetables, household food, plenty of water and food, then we can avoid liver disease. But sugar -filled drinks, junk food and fast food liver are damaging.
Another research published in the magazine called ‘Nutrients’ suggests that the thick children who eat too much sweet and processed food are getting liver disease called ‘MASLD’.
These children accumulate a lot of ‘fructose’ (which occur in sweet drinks and snacks) in the body, which increases the problem of fat and insulin in the liver. Therefore, it has become very important to reduce excess sugar from children’s food, so that liver diseases can be prevented.
