4.Foods rich in unsaturated fatty acids: such as olive oil, fish oil, etc., unsaturated fatty acids help to lower blood lipids and reduce fat deposits in the liver, thereby reducing the burden on the liver.
5.Foods with anti-inflammatory effects: such as ginger, garlic, onions, etc., these foods are rich in anti-inflammatory components, which can relieve liver inflammation and promote liver health.
