Proper nutrition as the basis for recovery in liver diseases
Foods for liver restoration should be included in the daily menu only after consultation with a hepatologist and gastroenterologist. This is due to the fact that organ pathologies often coexist with diseases of the stomach, pancreas and gallbladder.
A diet for liver disease not only helps reduce the load on the affected organ, but also promotes its restoration.
The most important thing is to try to adhere to the following recommendations:
- Diet. It is recommended to eat small portions, but often, preferably at least 5 times a day. This will help prevent overeating and relieve additional stress on the liver. The optimal weight of one portion is about 200 g.
- Temperature conditions of dishes. The optimal temperature of products intended for consumption should be 15-50 degrees
- Cooking techniques. When you have liver disease, your diet should exclude fried, smoked, and canned foods. The best cooking methods are boiling, steaming, or stewing.
- Food structure. To reduce the load on the digestive system, products must be ground to a uniform consistency
Prohibited foods for liver problems
A diet for a sick liver prohibits the consumption of rich bread, pastries with creams and puff pastry products. Also, the following should be excluded from the diet:
- Broths based on high-calorie meat or fish
- Fatty meat products
- Cream, whole milk, high-fat cottage cheese
- Radishes, white cabbage, horseradish
- Chocolate, ice cream, sour fruits and berries
- Carbonated drinks, coffee and strong tea
- Hot spices (mustard, pepper, horseradish, as well as various ketchups and sauces)
You should also abstain from alcohol: even in small quantities, alcohol harms the liver.
General information
Recommendations and restrictions
To maintain the liver in a healthy state and help it recover, it is necessary to strengthen nutritional support. To do this, it is necessary to increase the caloric content of the diet to 2800-3000 kcal / 24 hours.
The category of “healthy food for the liver” should include:
- Bread and cereals. Preference should be given to dried rye and rye-wheat bread. Cereals (buckwheat, rice, oatmeal and semolina) are also an excellent choice
- Meat and seafood. The menu should include lean meats 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 blue onions) provide the body with essential vitamins and minerals
- Fruits and berries. Sweet varieties of berries and fruits are useful, as well as compotes and decoctions of dried fruits (especially a decoction of rose hips)
You should also consider the restrictions. What can you eat with a sick liver? The answer is a lot, but in moderation. For example, eggs can be included in the diet, but the yolk should be consumed in moderation. The menu can include pasta made from premium flour. Nuts and pumpkin seeds are very useful, but peanuts should be excluded.
Don't forget about the need to observe the norm of salt consumption (no more than 10 g per day) and correctly combine different oils - they should be added directly to ready-made dishes.
