There is all too much focus on the effects of alcohol on the liver and I find that issues such as Fatty Liver Disease get pushed to one side. As you’ve rightly put ‘…Many people turn to medical treatments and drugs to help reduce their risk of getting or treating non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. But there may be a better and more natural way for a person to do this…’ Green tea is a great option and one that is often cited, so is lemon juice but one thing that is particularly effective in this instance is Turmeric. It seems to be a wonder cure for all kinds of ailments at the moment (I’ve seen elsewhere on the site your article about it’s benefit to cognitive function) and it truly seems to be backed by some very solid research. One thing that many don’t realise though is that the major active ingredient in Turmeric is Curcumin which accounts for only 3% of ground or root Turmeric. To really see the benefit I’d crush a Turmeric extract tablet into warm milk or coconut milk, for maximum absorbtion. Aside from helping the liver (and your brain) the cancer fighting properties of Turmeric are well noted and well worth acquiring it for that benefit alone.
