Fight fatty liver by following these simple morning habits

In fatty liver disease, excess fat gets deposited in the liver, leading to inflammation and compromise its functioning. Men are more prone to fatty liver disease than women. Meanwhile, nutrition deficiency and lifestyle diseases increase the risk of fatty liver. Making certain changes in the morning habits will significantly reduce the chances of getting the disease. Start your day with a routine that supports the health of your liver and prevents fat from getting deposited in the liver.

Hot lemonade
Lemonades are a great source of vitamin C and antioxidants that can expel toxins from the liver. Drinking hot lemonade on an empty stomach increases bile production. Meanwhile, it helps digest fat and prevents fat from getting deposited in the liver. Squeeze half a lime into a glass, add hot water and mix well. Enjoying this detox drink without adding sugar or honey for additional nutritional benefits is better.

Yoga
Practising yoga or stretching exercises in the morning increases blood circulation and boosts the liver’s ability to aid fat metabolic activity. Yoga postures like bhujangasanam and arthamatyandrasanam help improve the liver's functioning. Exercising and yoga are essential for reducing the fat deposits in the liver and improving insulin sensitivity and metabolism. Try practising yoga or stretching exercises every morning for at least 15 – 20 minutes to lead a healthy life.

Do not skip breakfast
Skipping breakfast slows down the metabolic rate, leading to severe stages of fatty liver disease. A healthy and filling breakfast that contains fibre, antioxidants, and lean protein repairs the damage in the liver and reduces the fat deposits. Oats with chia seeds, a palm full of nuts, berries and green tea are great options that are rich in omega-3 fatty acids and other essential nutrients. Meanwhile, cereals that are loaded with sugar and processed food items should be avoided as they are harmful to the liver.

Vegetable juice
Raw vegetable juice is an amazing source of nutrients that cleanses your liver and reduces fat deposits. Veggies like carrot, beetroot and spinach contain betaine and nitrates that expel toxins and increase blood circulation. According to a study conducted in 2024, including lots of vegetables and fruits in your regular diet prevents the risk of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. Blend the veggies with some ginger and water in a mixer jar to make delicious vegetable juice. Vegetable juice has amazing anti-inflammatory qualities and can be enjoyed half an hour after having the hot lemonade.

Say ‘no’ to coffee
Switching to dandelion tea, which is a natural detoxifier, is an amazing option. It contains chemical components that can remove the fat deposits in the liver while increasing the flow of bile and removing toxins. Besides, dandelion tea can reduce oxidative stress and rejuvenate the cells in the liver. You could make this herbal tea using dandelion roots or tea bags. Enjoying the dandelion tea instead of your regular morning coffee before breakfast is better.
