Subjects that should supplement Omega-3 to protect the liver
Many people are interested in how omega-3 supplementation can affect liver health. Doctor Nguyen Thi Dieu Hien, Tam Anh General Hospital, has provided professional advice on this issue.
Accordingly, Omega-3 plays an important role for many parts of the body, including the liver. One study shows that the risk of liver disease in people who use foods containing Omega-3 decreases by about 27%.
Not only improving liver function, Omega-3 fatty acids are also beneficial for people with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). Omega-3 helps reduce the amount of fat accumulated in the liver and is anti-inflammatory, limiting the risk of NAFLD becoming more severe, causing hepatitis, cirrhosis or liver cancer. In addition, Omega-3 also reduces Triglyceride (neutral fat) levels, preventing cardiovascular disease.
According to Dr. Nguyen Thi Dieu Hien, anyone can use Omega-3 to maintain liver health, while reducing the risk of liver diseases. People with diseases such as fatty liver, hepatitis or cirrhosis can also supplement Omega-3 to improve symptoms.
In addition, if you are in cases such as: Omega-3 deficiency, vegetarianism, risk of cardiovascular disease, high saturated fat consumption, pregnant women and young children... then you should see a doctor for examination and advice on taking Omega-3 properly, the right dosage, supporting treatment or improving health.
Methods to combine Omega-3 in liver protection
In addition to supplementing Omega-3, each person can apply a number of methods to protect the liver and overall health such as:
- Build a scientific diet rich in fiber, vitamins and minerals from vegetables and fruits, drink enough water every day.
- Limit consumption of foods containing saturated fat, high in sugar, processed foods, alcohol and other alcoholic beverages.
- Exercising regularly every day, combined with a suitable diet will help maintain a reasonable weight, avoiding putting pressure on the liver and other organs.
