Eating a healthy diet and exercising regularly helps the liver to work well.

If you’re living with liver disease, your diet is often adjusted to meet your individual needs. You should always talk to your doctor about what’s best for you, but here are some general food tips for a healthier liver:

  • Don’t eat foods high in fat, sugar and salt. Stay away from a lot of fried foods including fast food restaurant meals. Raw or under-cooked shellfish such as oysters and clams are a definite no-no.
  • Select foods from all food groups: grains, fruits, vegetables, proteins, milk, and healthy oils.
  • Eat foods rich in fiber, which helps your liver work at an optimal level. Fruits, vegetables, whole grain breads, brown rice and cereals can take care of your body’s fiber needs.
  • Drink plenty of water, which prevents dehydration and helps your liver to function better.
