Doctor Nuria Dianova: some products are especially effective in strengthening liver health and supporting the organ's functioning.
Doctor Dianova reminded that one of the most common diseases among modern people is fatty liver hepatosis, in which fatty substances – triglycerides – are intensively deposited in the liver. The doctor stated that methionic acid (methionine) effectively prevents this process of fat deposition, and advised consuming products containing it to improve liver health.
Dianova named the best food sources of methionic acid – oats (oatmeal), granola, muesli bars (high-quality, without additives).
The doctor also included cottage cheese in the list of the best products for improving liver health, recommending monitoring its fat content at the same time.
“Methionine acid, which fights fatty liver hepatosis, is also found in cottage cheese. It should be from two to seven percent fat, and the fat content of the cheesecakes should be from zero to two percent,” Dianova said in an interview with Vechernyaya Moskva.
Rose hips, which can be used to make infusions and decoctions, also have a beneficial effect on the liver. According to the doctor, such a rosehip drink has vitaminizing and choleretic effects, and its use prevents cholestasis – a violation of the normal outflow of bile.
