Weight loss often seems to center around your midsection, waistline, thighs,
back and backside.
But what about your liver?

Keeping fats from settling inside your liver can do wonders for your health.
How so?
A healthy liver filters out and destroys up to 90% of the viruses that sneak
into the bloodstream and that’s not all.

According to recent research, avoiding liver-fat buildup (also known as
non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, or NAFLD) cuts your risk of contracting
Co-Vid-19 by a whopping 80%.

So, are you ready to learn some simple steps that’ll help you care for and
avoid a fatty liver?
Okay then, just look below and learn those simple steps…

a) Eat The Fall Fruit-
What is it? An apple. Actually, you can get apples year round, but the best time for
apples (In the U.S.) is the fall. It’s not that the fruit does anything to help your liver,
but it is a “good snack” (like slices of cheese and vegetables, nuts or other fruits)
that’ll thwart hunger pangs. Snacking is a big problem here in the U.S. and the
more nutritious foods you snack on, the risk of developing fatty liver goes down
considerably. So, when you feel the need to snack, resist the Doritos, the Snickers
bar or that whole sleeve of Oreos and reach for that apple or tray of sliced
vegetables and homemade hummus. The nutrients from these types of foods give
your liver all it needs to function at its optimal best.

b) More Tea Please-
A cup or two of coffee each day is okay, but if you’re hoping to improve or even
heal your liver it’s best to drink green tea. Drinking 2 to 4 cups of green tea each
day can prevent (NAFLD) and for those who have it, tea can help shrink the fatty
deposits by 55%. Green tea contains compounds called catechins, and these potent
antioxidants energize mitochrondria, the little energy cells that soak up fats and
turn them into fuel.
Also helpful: Avoid having your tea with a danish, scone, donut, brownie or muffin.
An occasional sweet treat is okay, but do it everyday and you not only risk
liver damage, but weight gain, high blood pressure, heart disease, diabetes
and a host of other health issues.

c) Bring On The A.C.V.-
Also known as apple cider vinegar. Used for decades for weight loss and other health
problems, new research says that drinking a tsp. (with water or unsweetened juice)
after a meal helps keep your liver in good shape.

Non–Food Tips-
d) Step Outside-
Another benefit of getting some sunlight: you can halve the the risk of getting a
fatty liver. Doctors say that skin only produces vitamin D-3 when exposed to
sunlight, so that’s why it’s important to sit outdoors for 20 to 30 mins. each
day (without sunscreen) and let your liver burn up that excess fat.
Don’t live in Hawaii, Florida, California or Arizona?
Ask your doctor to recommend a good vitamin D-3 supplement.
Recommended dose: 3,000 to 5,000 IU’s per day.

e) Sleep This Way-
If you or a loved one is suffering from sleep apnea, breathing difficulties may not
be your only concern. It (sleep apnea) can also hamper oxygen flow to the liver.
And even minimal oxygen shortfalls make your liver sluggish and more likely to
to store fat instead of burning it.
Fortunately, there are some things you can do, and they are…
Lose weight. A weight loss of 10 to 20 pounds can make a difference
in your sleep and the second thing you can do: sleep on your side.
Side-sleeping makes breathing easier, cutting apnea episodes (and
fatty liver buildup) by up to 45%.

f) Move It or Lose It-
You won’t actually lose your liver, but getting 30 to 40 minutes of exercise
each day helps block not only fat on your hips, thighs, backside and stomach,
it also blocks it from building up in your liver. When you do some type of movement
each day, you quickly burn blood fats for fuel-and that prevents it (the fat)
from soaking into your liver and causing serious damage.
What type of exercise is best? The type you’ll enjoy and stick to on a daily basis.
If you prefer to walk in the park, do it, or walk in your living room (to Leslie Sansone
tapes available on youtube) do it, or garden or dance in the comfort of your
living room to old school music.
