Natural Ways to Help Treat Liver Disease

Keeping your liver in good health is absolutely necessary if you desire health for all the days of your life. Even though you can’t see it or feel it, this organ is your largest internal organ. It’s about the same size as a football!

If the fat in your liver makes up to 5-10% of the organ’s weight, you are diagnosed with fatty liver disease. There are two main types of fatty liver disease, one caused by alcohol consumption, the other non-alcohol related. It can be caused by fast weight loss, malnutrition, medications, autoimmune issues or genes, and viral hepatitis. If you have metabolic syndrome, type 2 diabetes or obesity, high cholesterol or high triglycerides, you’re more likely to get it.

So here are my favorite natural ways to keep your liver in wonderful condition:

• Avoid the foods and drinks that can make it worse:
  • Alcohol
