Instructions

• 1

  Maintain a healthy body weight. The most common cause of fatty liver is obesity. Eating healthy and losing weight can reverse a fatty liver. Avoid meats, sugary foods high in saturated fat, and fried and canned foods. Add more leafy green vegetables to your diet and drink fruit juice instead of carbonated sodas.

• 2

  Avoid harmful chemicals. These include all alcoholic beverages, cigarette smoking and illegal drugs. These toxins damage your liver, preventing it from absorbing vital nutrients from the food you eat. Malabsorption can hasten liver damage, preventing reversal of fatty liver disease.

• 3

  Take a supplement that can strengthen your liver. Supplements such as milk thistle herb capsules can help hasten the rate of liver cell regeneration and break down the fat that causes fatty liver disease. The recommended dosage for milk thistle herb in capsule form is one 380 milligram capsule taken once a day.

  Add ginger to your diet every day. Ginger contains a potent compound called 6-gingerol which can reverse fatty liver by preventing fat from building up in the liver. It also improves food digestion. Add ginger to meals every day.

  Do high-impact exercises for at least one hour daily. Getting enough exercise can reduce your body fat and reverse fatty liver disease by preventing the buildup of fat in your liver. Examples of high impact exercises include aerobics, jumping rope and running.
