Nutritional Guidelines for Liver Disease

Nutritional guidelines for liver disease focus on supporting liver health while preventing further damage. This typically involves eating a balanced diet rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and lean proteins. Limiting saturated fats, salt, and processed foods helps reduce strain on the liver. In some cases, limiting protein intake may be necessary, especially if symptoms of liver failure occur. Adequate calorie intake is important to prevent malnutrition. Staying hydrated and avoiding alcohol are essential. Personalized advice from a healthcare professional can optimize nutrition based on the specific stage and type of liver disease.
