Why food choices matter for fatty liver

Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) responds well to modest weight loss, lower added sugar intake, and a focus on whole foods. Choosing organic when possible can reduce pesticide exposure and support nutrient density, which is a small but meaningful advantage for long-term liver health, as discussed in this overview of from-farm-to-fork: the organic and non-organic.

This plan emphasizes lean protein, fiber-rich vegetables, whole grains, healthy fats (olive oil, nuts, fatty fish), and very limited processed carbs and sugary drinks. Swap meals between days to fit your schedule, and consult a healthcare professional for personalized guidance.
