According to research published in the Journal of Nutrition, walnuts are rich in omega-3 fatty acids, polyphenols and antioxidants, which help reduce inflammation and improve liver function. This is an important factor in preventing the progression from fatty liver to hepatitis or cirrhosis.
Dr. Michael R. Charlton, a geopologist at the University of Utah (USA), commented: Supporting omega-3-rich nuts such as walnuts is not only beneficial for the heart but also contributes significantly to regulating fat metabolism in the liver. This is one of the easy-to- supplements every day that people with fatty liver disease should pay attention to".
In addition to walnuts, almonds have also been shown to bring positive effects. A study from the World Journal of Gastroenterology shows that a diet rich in almonds helps reduce liver enzymes ALT and AST indicators of liver damage.
Experts recommend that adults can supplement about 2830g of walnuts or almonds per day, equivalent to a small handful. However, its use should be combined with a diet low in sugar, low in saturated fat, increased green vegetables and regular exercise.
Fatty liver, if not controlled early, can lead to serious complications. Therefore, changing your lifestyle and nutrition, especially your habit of eating nuts, can become a simple but effective solution to protect liver leaves.
