Eat nuts and seeds for a healthy liver

-

A daily handful of nuts and seeds could cut your risk of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. Women eating 15-30g a day had a 15% lower risk of the common liver disease, according to a recent study by Australia’s

Deakin University. Lead researcher Dr Elena George explains, ‘Nuts and seeds are rich sources of unsaturate­d fatty acids, dietary fibre, minerals and antioxidan­t compounds, which are associated with a decrease in inflammato­ry markers and increased antioxidan­t capacity.’
