Steps you can take straight away to improve liver health

Start eating more of the foods outlined in my last post.
Avoid large amounts of refined sugar and white carbohydrates.
Avoid processed food wherever possible. Don’t buy ready meals, they are generally devoid of nutrients and often packed with high levels of salt and inflammatory fats.
Avoid trans fats and excessive inflammatory saturated fats.
Do not eat when you are stressed or on the move – you won’t digest your food properly.
Try and cut out alcohol completely for 8 weeks, after this time only drink in moderation.
