We all know that the liver is one of the vital organs in the body, as it detoxifies the body and produces bile, a protein that breaks down fats into fatty acids for digestion. There are certain foods that are not recommended as they weaken liver function and increase the risk of fatty liver disease, according to websites "healthline" and "webmd".
- **Sugary Foods**: Consuming sugary foods such as candies, cookies, and fruit juices increases blood sugar levels and the amount of fat accumulated in the liver.
- **Fried Foods**: Due to their high content of fats and calories, they pose a risk for developing fatty liver disease.
- **Salt**: Excessive salt consumption can increase the risk of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. It is recommended to consume less than 2300 milligrams per day.
- **Processed Meats**: These should be avoided to maintain liver health as they contain a high amount of saturated fats.
- **Sodas**: Research indicates that individuals who consume a lot of sodas are at a higher risk of developing non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), hence it is advised to reduce their intake.
- **Trans Fats**: Trans fats are man-made fats found in some canned foods and baked goods, containing partially hydrogenated ingredients that can increase your risk of weight gain, which is not good for liver health.
