Let's bring quality information to most people. So share it there! And tell me: do you have fat in your liver?

Are you afraid of eating fruit because of this? What part of Brazil or the world are you from? Write it down below.

Let's go! Fatty liver, or hepatic steatosis, is an increasingly common and worrying condition. Today, around 30% of the Brazilian population carries more fat than they should in their liver.

It can lead to serious health problems, including cirrhosis and liver cancer, if not treated properly. But do you need to avoid all fruits if you have this condition? Let's find out!

Fruits and Fat in the Liver Fruits are essential sources of vitamins, minerals and fiber. However, they contain fructose, a type of natural sugar, which, in excess, can contribute to the accumulation of fat in the liver. In excess, if you have fatty liver, eating fruits and vegetables regularly will not cause any problems, regardless of the fruit you choose.

Now, industrialized fructose, ah, that causes a lot of problems. Corn syrup and fructose became the standard sweetener in the soft drink industry in the 80s. And this increased obesity and fatty liver in the population.

Hepatic steatosis, in the past, was rare. And today it is one of the main causes of cirrhosis in the world. Just to give you an idea, in the book Outlive, which was the health bestseller of 2023, the author explains the first time he saw non-alcoholic fatty liver disease.

He was an oncology surgery resident and needed to ask pre-operative questions, and one of the questions was whether the patient drank alcohol. The patient said no, and when they opened his belly and his boss saw that yellow, fatty, almost cirrhotic liver, he swore that the author had not asked the patient the questions, as he was clearly an alcoholic. But no, he didn't drink alcohol, but coca-cola.

Eight cans a day…. Therefore, what you eat and what you drink will determine the condition of your liver. So, if you have an ultrasound and discover that you have fatty liver, it's time to get moving.

Get your diet and lifestyle habits right. What drinks and foods should you avoid if you have steatosis? Alcohol Alcohol - Alcohol is one of your liver's biggest enemies.

So much so that you see the name - non-alcoholic hepatic steatosis, it shows that before it was just alcoholic hepatic steatosis. It was the alcohol that caused the fatty liver. Do not drink!

Even in small amounts, it can cause damage to hepatocytes (liver cells) and worsen fatty liver. Others that I have to repeat are Soft Drnks and Sugary Drnks = These drinks are full of sugar and fructose, which can increase fat in the liver and cause insulin resistance. If you watched my video about fructose, you must know how big the problem is.

I'll leave the link at the end. If you like the fizzy bubbles in soft drinks, try sparkling water with lemon, or flavored sparkling water. Opening a parenthesis - Energy Drnks (other than zero) also contain high doses of sugar and other additives that overload the liver.

What about the foods you need to avoid? Sugar and Sweets - Excessive sugar consumption is directly linked to an increase in fat in the liver. This includes candy, cakes, ice cream and other sugary foods.

Foods that contain Corn and Fructose Syrups - as I said in the video, these syrups are worse than sugar and are hidden in many processed foods, condiments (ketchup, mustard), salad dressings and desserts—it is important to read food labels Excessive Salt - Diets high in sodium can increase fat in the liver and cause hypertension. Avoid processed foods rich in salt such as canned soups, sausages and frozen foods. Refined Wheat - so white breads, pastas and crackers made with refined flour can increase liver fat.

— Opt for whole grains. And Saturated Fats - These fats, present in foods such as yellow cheese, bacon, fatty meats and fried foods, can worsen liver steatosis. I talked about the worst foods - and the Best Foods and Drnks for the Liver?

Starting with the drinks- the Coffee= A 2021 study of 494,585 people in the United Kingdom suggested that all types of coffee, including decaffeinated, instant and ground, are associated with lower risks of chronic liver disease and its complications. Consuming 3-4 cups daily offers the maximum protective effect and can reduce liver stiffness and improve liver enzyme levels in people with and without liver disease. Green Tea Studies show that moderate consumption of green tea can reduce the levels of liver enzymes - TGO and TGP, which increase when the liver is damaged.

And the food? Oats- which has beta-glucans that help fight inflammation. Garlic A clinical trial found that consuming garlic significantly improved fat accumulation in the liver Chestnuts and walnuts- Nuts contain unsaturated fatty acids, vitamin E and antioxidants that help prevent NAFLD and reduce inflammation.

Of course, greens- all greens- kale, lettuce, arugula, cabbage, alfalfa, watercress, broccoli- all greens can reduce your liver fat.

And it also contains other antioxidants, such as lycopene and beta-carotene that protect the liver from cellular damage. And unlike many fruits that are high in fructose, guava has a relatively low glycemic index. Açaí- Of course I'm talking about pasteurized açaí.

These compounds help fight free radicals in the body, reducing oxidative stress and protecting liver cells from damage.
