Eating Ideas

Eat a whole apple (with the peel, where the polyphenols are) as a mid-morning snack or dessert. Bake them with cinnamon for a healthy treat, or grate them into salads with carrots and walnuts. Aim for 1-2 apples a day, preferably varieties like Granny Smith or Fuji, which are rich in fiber. Avoid sugary compotes that lose nutrients.

Avocados: Healthy Fats for Your Metabolism

Avocados, although often considered a “caloric luxury,” are an exceptional fruit for liver and metabolic health. Its monounsaturated fats, fiber, and vitamin E make it a superfood that fights fatty liver disease and balances cholesterol and blood sugar.

What the Science Says

A study in Liver International (2025) showed that consuming half an avocado (70 g) daily for 10 weeks reduced liver fat by 11% and improved liver enzymes (ALT, AST) by 15% in patients with NAFLD. Monounsaturated fats lower liver triglycerides, while fiber regulates LDL cholesterol by 8%, according to the Journal of the American Heart Association (2025). Additionally, avocado improves insulin sensitivity, stabilizing glucose, according to Diabetes Research and Clinical Practice (2024).
