The trend of eating lightly but enough in the morning is highly appreciated by international nutritionists, especially for those at risk of fatty liver disease, hepatitis or liver enzyme disorder.
According to American nutritionist Dr. Melissa Prest, American Institute of Nutrition (AND), the ideal morning diet for people with high liver enzymes needs to "prioritize healthy protein, soluble fiber and foods low in saturated fat". Based on this recommendation, here are three suitable breakfast dishes.
Cooked brown rice with green bean porridge
Green beans are rich in flavonoids that fight inflammation and help the liver detoxify. When combined with brown rice - a slow source of starch that helps stabilize blood sugar - porridge becomes a gentle choice, suitable for people with a bloated or tired stomach in the morning. This is an easy-to-cook dish, can be eaten with a little roasted sesame or steamed vegetables.
Gargle with shrimp meatballs (or chicken breast), little dipping sauce
Garlic is a rich but low-fat dish, and also provides lots of green vegetables and soluble fiber to help reduce fat accumulation in the liver. Experts recommend limiting dipping sauces that are too salty or high in sugar to avoid making the liver process excess sodium and sugar. For those who need to lose weight, they can replace the meat with boiled chicken breast to make the dish more delicious.
In-water fish noodle
Fish is a source of easily absorbed protein, low in saturated fat, and is recommended by many liver and geology doctors. A bowl of fish noodle soup with water, cooked with less spicy spices, helps provide energy without overloading the liver in the morning. People with high liver enzymes are advised to avoid frying fish too much to reduce oil levels.
Experts note that breakfast only works when combined with a healthy lifestyle: limit sweet drinks, avoid alcohol, exercise lightly and have regular liver enzymes check-ups. With the right choice, breakfast can support liver leaves to recover every day.
