Salt
According to the World Health Organization, many people are eating salt exceeding the recommended daily amount. When absorbing too much sodium, the body may retain water, increase blood pressure and increase the metabolic burden on the liver.
According to Dr. Kristin Kirkpatrick, a nutritionist at Cleveland Clinic (USA), a diet that is too salty for a long time can contribute to increasing the risk of metabolic disorders. High salt content not only affects the cardiovascular system but also puts pressure on the liver, especially in people with underlying diseases or an unbalanced diet.

Sugar added to many dishes, sauces or drinks can cause calories to increase rapidly. When consuming too much sugar, the body will convert the excess into fat, of which a part accumulates in the liver.
According to Dr. Frank Hu, professor of nutrition and epidemiology at Harvard School of Public Health (USA), consuming a lot of added sugar is related to the risk of non-alcoholic fatty liver. High levels of sugar, especially from processed foods, can promote fat accumulation in the liver over time.
Experts recommend gradually reducing salt and sugar in daily meals, while prioritizing natural spices such as garlic, ginger, pepper or herbs to enhance the flavor of the dish.
