Endocrinologist Ekaterina Yang named foods that destroy the liver.
The doctor published a list of products whose consumption should be limited on her Telegram channel.
Alcohol
Leads to inflammation, scarring and cirrhosis of the liver.
Processed foods
Fast food, fried foods, canned foods – all of these thicken bile.
Consuming large amounts of dairy products and flour products also has a negative effect on the liver.
Sweets
Sweets are usually very high in calories and contain virtually no nutrients.
Eating sweets in large quantities leads not only to weight gain, but also to fatty liver disease.
Fructose
Fructose is found in fruits, dried fruits, honey, and sweet drinks.
It is all broken down in the liver without the participation of insulin, with the formation of triglycerides, an excess of which leads to inflammation, explained Young.
Caffeine
It is considered safe for the liver to drink 1-2 cups of coffee in the first half of the day (half an hour after eating).
