Green leafy vegetables may prevent fatty liver disease

Eating green leafy vegetables in larger portion daily may reduce the risk of developing fatty liver disease, suggests researchers in a mice study. Fatty liver or liver steatosis is a common liver disease and the most important causes are overweight and high alcohol consumption. Green leafy vegetables contain inorganic nitrate that can help prevent the accumulation of fat in the liver.

“When we supplemented with dietary nitrate to mice fed with a high-fat and sugar Western diet, we noticed a significantly lower proportion of fat in the liver,” said Associate Professor. “No one has yet focused on nitrate, which we think is the key. We now want to conduct clinical studies to investigate the therapeutic value of nitrate supplementation to reduce the risk of liver steatosis,” the author said. Leafy vegetables and fruits also led to reduction of high blood pressure and improved insulin and glucose homeostasis in mice with Type-2 diabetes.
