6. Walnuts
People with a fatty liver disease who eat walnuts regularly see an improvement in liver function tests because these nuts are high in omega-3 fatty acids. The World Journal of Gastroenterology describes nuts as nutritionally-dense fruits. They consist of a blend of fatty acids, bioactive compounds, and essential nutrients.
In a study done by a group from the Storr Liver Unit, walnut consumption and its effects were measured. The study included 106 participants who consumed walnuts in various quantities over a period of six months, as well as a control group of participants, who consumed no walnuts.
The results showed walnut consumption to be positively correlated with improved liver functioning. The study further tested the therapeutic value of vitamin E, where vitamin E was seen to significantly improve liver functioning. Walnuts are high in Vitamin E. Just an ounce serving of walnuts provides a third of a person’s daily Vitamin E requirements.
