Tips for a healthy liver
The liver detoxifies our body. But alcohol, obesity and bad eating habits can cause fatty liver disease.

The good news is, a fatty liver can regenerate if you do the following:

reduce carbohydrates and bad fats. Avoid fructose syrup commonly found in soft drinks and processed foods.
Also increase intake of omega-3 fatty acids in your diet.
Many such fatty acids are contained in linseed oil.
Get in a half-hour workout at least 5 times weekly.
And drink at least 2 liters of water or unsweetened tea each day.
Don't smoke, and be careful about taking medications.
The most common liver-damaging drugs include painkillers and antibiotics. Extracts of plants such as milk thistle can help regenerate liver tissue.
Also good is artichoke, tumeric or dandelion.
A warm liver compress promotes blood circulation and detoxifies.
And try to get in an afternoon nap.

Remember, if you have a fatty liver, visit your doctor for regular check-ups.
