Introduction: For modern people, fatty liver is no longer an unfamiliar term, and it has a lot to do with "eating". But at the same time, eating can also help "slim down" fatty liver to a certain extent.
1. Purple onion. The various sulfides contained in onions can inhibit platelet aggregation, help blood flow smoothly, and eliminate free radicals in the body. Components such as thiols and allyl sulfide in onions have the function of lowering blood lipids, increasing "good" cholesterol (HDL) in the body, and preventing arteriosclerosis. More importantly, these active ingredients in onions can promote fat metabolism and prevent fatty liver. It is recommended to choose purple onions first, because the darker the color of the onion, the higher the sulfide content. It should be noted that sulfides are easily destroyed at high temperatures, so onions are best eaten raw.

2. Garlic. The pungent smell of garlic is caused by allicin. Many studies have confirmed that allicin can maintain the activity of macrophages, increase the ability to kill pathogens, and promote the proliferation of lymphocytes. It can also avoid the accumulation of abdominal fat and enhance the activity of detoxification enzymes in the liver. Garlic is best mashed into a paste and left for 10-15 minutes before eating, which is beneficial for the formation of allicin.
3. Cherry tomatoes. Eating 20 cherry tomatoes (about 155g) raw daily can provide the vitamin C needed for a day. When the body has enough vitamin C, the fat burned during exercise will be 30% more than that of people with insufficient intake, strongly promoting fat metabolism. Cherry tomatoes can be eaten raw directly or used to make large salads.

4. Lemon. Researchers from Mie University in Japan have found that lemons may contain a component that can prevent fatty liver, which can curb the accumulation of fat in human liver cells. In addition, lemon also helps the liver detoxify, purifies the liver by promoting bile production, and helps control excessive bile, reduce the production of harmful mucus in the body, and help dissolve gallstones. Lemon has a sour taste and can be used to make lemon water.
