Research shows that eating a diet rich in fiber is linked to a lower risk of developing (non-alcoholic) fatty liver3. Fiber promotes a healthy weight and balanced energy levels, whereas excess energy (or calories) is the main driver of fat buildup in liver cells.
Registered dietitian Rachel Muzzy, M.S., R.D., also encourages her clients to incorporate more fiber into their diet to support the liver as, “fiber can help bind and carry out waste and toxins.”
High-fiber foods she recommends people add to their daily diet include beans, potatoes, avocados, berries, apples, bananas, oats, whole grains, nuts, and seeds.
