Should people with high liver enzymes eat apples?

Kiều Vũ (Theo Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry ) |

High liver enzymes are a sign of liver damage, often found in people with hepatitis, fatty liver, drinking a lot of alcohol or taking medication for a long time.

During treatment, diet plays an important role in supporting liver function recovery. Apples, a popular and easily digestible fruit, are considered a good choice for people with high liver enzymes thanks to their beneficial nutritional composition and natural detoxification properties.

First of all, apples are rich in pectin soluble fiber, which helps remove toxins and heavy metals from the body, reducing the burden on the liver. Apples also contain flavonoids and polyphenols, powerful antioxidants that help reduce inflammation and protect liver cells from damage caused by free radicals.

Apples also have a low glycemic index, suitable for people with metabolic diseases such as non-alcoholic fatty liver. In particular, the malic acid in apples helps support liver cleansing and increase bile production, thereby promoting the digestion and elimination of toxins more effectively.

However, to get the maximum benefits, people with high liver enzymes should eat fresh apples with shells, because most of the fiber and flavonoids are in the shell. It is necessary to wash thoroughly or choose organic apples to avoid pesticide residues. Be careful not to eat apples in industrial juices that contain a lot of sugar or preservatives, as this can overload the liver.

People with high liver enzymes should absolutely eat apples as part of a healthy diet. With the ability to support detoxification, fight inflammation and protect the liver, apples are a simple fruit but bring many practical benefits to liver health.
