Micronutrients & recovery
High-fibre interventions (e.g., high-fibre bread, whole grains) reduce NAFLD grade and liver enzymes (ALT, AST) independently of weight loss.
If you have fatty liver, increasing your fibre intake through whole grains or high-fibre bread can improve your liver enzymes and disease grade, even if you don't lose weight. This is a simple, sustainable dietary change that directly benefits liver health.
GoodSupportsHIGH confidence
whole-grain intervention (12 weeks) in patients with NAFLD (n=112 randomly assigned into two groups), was associated with a significant reduction in NAFLD grade and ALT, AST and γ-glutamyltransferase levels independent of any changes in anthropometric measurements [110].
Why this rating
Based on a specific RCT (n=112) cited in the review.
