Nutrition programs

Recommendations and restrictions

To keep the liver healthy and help it recover, it is necessary to increase nutritional support. To do this, you need to increase the calorie content of the diet to 2800-3000 kcal/24 hours.

The category of “healthy foods for the liver” includes:

• Bread and cereals. Preference should be given to dried rye and rye-wheat bread. Cereals (buckwheat, rice, oatmeal and semolina) will also be an excellent choice.
• Meat and seafood. The menu should include lean varieties of meat and fish (chicken, turkey, squid and shrimp).
• Dairy products. The diet should include milk, cottage cheese, kefir and low-fat hard cheeses.
• Vegetables. Zucchini, pumpkin, beets, carrots, peppers, tomatoes, cucumbers and onions (especially the blue variety) provide the body with essential vitamins and minerals.
• Fruits and berries. Sweet varieties of berries and fruits, as well as compotes and decoctions of dried fruits (especially rosehip decoction) are useful.

Limitations should also be taken into account. What can you eat if you have a diseased liver? The answer is a lot, but in moderation. For example, eggs can be included in the diet, but the yolk should be consumed sparingly. The menu can include pasta made from premium flour. Nuts and pumpkin seeds are very healthy, but peanuts should be excluded.

Do not forget about the need to maintain salt consumption (no more than 10 g per day) and correctly combine various oils - they should be added directly to ready-made dishes.

The basics of proper nutrition to maintain and restore the liver

According to the rules of the diet for liver restoration, combining healthy foods and excluding harmful ones will help ensure optimal functioning of this organ.

An important component of the diet for liver disease is protein. It is found in meat, fish and dairy products. However, only low-fat varieties are beneficial. Legumes, despite their protein properties, often cause digestive problems, so their consumption should be limited.

To combat fatty liver infiltration, foods containing lipotropic substances should be included in the diet. Vegetable fiber found in vegetables and fruits is especially useful.

Carbohydrates are the main source of energy and provide high caloric nutrition for the liver. Their optimal volume should not exceed 450 g per day. Consumption of simple sugars should be limited. Excellent sources of complex carbohydrates are cereals, bread, sweet fruits and berries, honey and nuts.

Fruits and berries with antioxidant properties can prevent oxidative stress in liver cells. Therefore, it is recommended to include black currants, citrus fruits and bell peppers in your diet.

Vitamin and mineral support for the liver

To ensure the health and proper functioning of the liver, it is necessary to provide the body with all the necessary vitamins and minerals. In particular, she needs:

• Vitamin A. It is found in red and orange vegetables and fruits. In combination with vitamin E, it inhibits the activity of free radicals in the body. This helps relieve inflammation and liver diseases. Vegetable and fruit lovers are advised to enrich their diet with carrots, sweet peppers and apples.
• Vitamin C. It is found in rose hips, sea buckthorn, some types of cabbage, and also in citrus fruits. This vitamin not only strengthens the immune system, but also activates detoxification processes in the liver.
• Valuable minerals. Sulfur and iodine also play a significant role in liver health. They are present in cauliflower and Brussels sprouts, as well as seafood.

Do not forget about the importance of B vitamins, which are involved in many biochemical processes of the liver. They can be found in buckwheat and oatmeal.

If we talk about diets for liver diseases, then it is worth paying attention to diet No. 5a. It is intended for patients with the acute stage of hepatitis. It is also recommended for combinations of liver damage with other diseases of the gastrointestinal tract.

The main principles of this diet are rigor and precision in the preparation of products. Food must be thoroughly chopped and many products must be subjected to double heat treatment.
