things that help NAFLD

I have just been watching a documentary about the liver and 5 things were stated to help reduce inflammation, recharge you liver, get rid of toxins so liver doesn’t work harder to and help lose weight plus produce more bile to help breakdown the toxins.

These ingredients are turmeric and black pepper, milk thistle, artichokes and beetroot. Amazon are the cheapest to buy turmeric and black pepper 1 a day capsules which are higher strength so saves you having to take 2 capsules a day as suggested and also milk thistle too, artichoke and beetroot you can purchase from the supermarket, I have 4 of these and will also be applying the milk thistle. All these help with brain fog, bloating, gas, stomach pain and help to open your bowel too and well as the most natural thing liquorice, yes liquorice, the doctors tried everything to help a friend giving her tablet after tablet, movicol etc and nothing working until I told her about the liquorice, now she doesn’t have a problem going.

I hope this sincerely helps helps you like it is helping me 😃

Thank you. Also seen walnuts, avocados, papayas and coffee without cream or sugar mentioned. Best wishes!

Hi Pita123,

Yes walnuts, cashew nuts and almonds are very good, too much sugar is bad for for your liver. I’ve had a lot lately due to mince pies and brandy cream, xmas pudding and brandy sauce at Xmas and Tirimisu and cream the other day which was given to me but hated to offend, so now I made a big pan of homemade soup with all the veg, diffent lentils and split peas and stock so I’ll be replacing the fats 😄

I have been lately 😂😂 wasn’t a big fan of sweets before, I’d usually rather have a starter and a main but for the last 3/4 years I haven’t been able to eat anything other than a kiddies meal for a main course but have to eat little and often as I have Barrett’s disease with a 3cm sliding hiatus hernia 🥴🙄

I take an Indian made herbal supplement called liv52. It's somewhat well known. There are some studies showing it's effective. I figured it was worth trying but I have no recent tests to show any results.

Have you been taking it long? Maybe you need to take it for a month or so to get the benefit, I’ve never heard of it to be honest x

I first heard of it many years ago. I've been taking it for a few months but not at the appropriate dosage. I'm now increasing the dosage. It's more of a protective agent but apparently it's doing something to reverse damage based on the studies. Here's one: pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/161...

lusitania54,

Did you just start taking it or did you have to ask your doctor first if you don’t mind me asking. My doctor isn’t even doing regular blood tests or checking on my NAFLD.

Get a new doctor! The Liver is nothing to take lightly. Strive to a normal BMI and that starts in the kitchen. Diet is everything with Liver disease. Regular monitoring 3-4 times a year is important.

Hi Neverbeen2spain,

I put the post up about the liquorice, it’s the most natural thing to make you go to the toilet and you have have as much as you want, there is no rule about the amount you can eat, pontefract cakes, soft liquorice and the different flavours and also the liquorice flyers with the fizzy bit in the middle that helps too.

Hope that sheds some light and good luck 😉
