Health Desk. The role of liver is very important in keeping the body healthy. It works to digest food, remove toxins from the body, store nutrients and produce many essential hormones and proteins. But poor eating habits, excessive fried food, alcohol consumption, obesity and inactive lifestyle can have adverse effects on the liver.
Experts believe that by adopting a balanced diet and healthy lifestyle, the liver can be kept healthy for a long time. Let us know about 4 such things which can be beneficial to include in the diet in regular and balanced quantity.
1. Green leafy vegetables
Spinach, fenugreek, mustard and other green leafy vegetables are rich in vitamins, minerals and antioxidants. These can become a part of a balanced diet along with providing essential nutrients to the body. Due to the good amount of fiber, it also helps in maintaining better digestion, which can reduce the extra pressure on the liver.
2. Beetroot
Natural antioxidants and nitrates are found in beetroot. By eating it in balanced quantity, the body gets many nutrients. It can be consumed in the form of salad, juice or vegetable. However, the claim that eating beetroot alone can cure liver disease is not scientifically proven, so it should only be considered a part of a balanced diet.
3. Walnut
Walnuts contain omega-3 fatty acids, healthy fats and antioxidants. Consuming walnuts in limited quantity is considered beneficial for heart and overall health. It can be eaten daily in small handful quantities as a snack.
4. Citrus fruits
Fruits rich in Vitamin C like orange, orange, lemon and guava help in strengthening the immunity of the body. The antioxidants present in them can contribute to protecting the body cells from oxidative stress. Including these in the diet regularly is considered good for health.
When is it necessary to see a doctor?
If problems like prolonged fatigue, loss of appetite, yellowing of skin or eyes, persistent pain in the right side of the stomach, frequent vomiting or swelling in the body are seen, then a doctor should be immediately examined. These can be signs of serious liver problems.
