7. Spinach
Spinach among many other leafy greens is exceptional for liver problems especially non-alcoholic fatty liver disease since they are full of antioxidants and antiinflammatories that help you lower the rate of oxidative damage to your DNA. spinach has been proven to lower the risk of developing heart disease and some types of cancers like breast and prostate cancer and lowers your chances of developing gallstones.
Spinach is also full of nutrients like magnesium, folate, polyphenols like lutein, beta carotenes, and zeaxanthin, and a big bunch of vitamins like vitamin C, A, and K which are highly needed if you suffer from liver disease since your body can’t produce enough vitamin K and coagulation factors that are necessary for blood clotting and controlling hemorrhage.
The high level of carotenoids in spinach not only lowers the rate of disease progression but also helps prevent the disease in its early stages.
Leafy vegetables are also high in nitrates which have been proven to boost cell metabolism and lower your blood pressure and enhance insulin sensitivity protecting you from developing metabolic conditions, stopping the accumulation of fat around the liver even if you are on a high-fat diet
