Foods which help to heal fatty liver

Who hasn't heard this- health is wealth. It is true in every sense, I'ld say. If you've good health, one can always make wealth.

Liver is considered one of the vital organs of the body which is responsible for producing biochemicals necessary for digestion.  It helps in making proteins and is essential for blood clotting and other important functions.

The organ helps the body to fight off infections, controls cholesterol and also removes toxins.  As a matter of fact, our body stores fat in different parts of the system which is later used as insulation and energy.
 
The accessory digestive gland is partially made up of fat, but in case, the fat concentrations goes high, then a person may suffer from fatty liver, which is not good for health.

There are two types of fatty liver disease, one- alcoholc induced and another non-acholic fatty liver disease.  Here are the food items which you must have include in your daily diet, if you have a fatty liver.
Coffee
Various studies have shown that coffee lovers with fatty liver have comparatively lesser damage than those who don’t drink caffeine. Adding coffee to your daily routine may prove to be quite beneficial for your liver.
Green Tea
Researchers have found out that having green tea can help reduce the body fat, which in turn improves liver function. Green tea has several benefits, so sipping up a cup everyday can lead to
Garlic
Garlic is an essential ingredient of kitchen life and may help cure fatty liver. A study suggested that the flavouring food can help reduce fat in people with fatty liver disease.
Broccoli
There are people who simply don’t like the taste of broccoli. However, the vegetable is known to prevent the build-up of fat concentration in mice, according to a report. Including more greens in your diet should be your new mantra.
Soy protein or Tofu
A study on rats found out that soy protein or Tofu might help in reduction of fat build up in the liver. Tofu, also known as bean curd, is low in fat and high in protein, hence good for our health.

Fast-Food Wrappers Contaminated with Toxins Can Now Be Traced

The harmful effects of junk food is no hidden secret. But did you know that even the wrappers in which they are wrapped can put you at health risk? A shocking report that did the rounds in February revealed that most fast food packaging materials contained toxic chemicals that were contaminating the food we were consuming. It particularly highlighted greaseproof papers, which contained more than two dozen highly fluorinated chemicals, including phased-out substances, which may lead to developmental problems in children, decreased fertility and an increased risk of cancer. The question on everyone's mind was how to prevent the harmful health effects of consuming junk food. Now researchers from University of Alabama and the University of Notre Dame seem to have come up with a solution.

The scientists have found a new technique by which one can trace hazardous chemicals from fast food wrappers (bread, desserts, burgers and pizzas) that enter the human body. The technique enables researchers to radiolabel three forms of perfluorinated and polyfluorinated alkyl substances (PFAS) and track the fate of these chemicals when they enter the body.

This announcement comes as a good surprise, leaving many hopeful in identifying and tracking toxic substances, particularly PFASs (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances), also known as PFCs, that come mostly from older, recycled materials or other undetermined sources. They are known to be harmful to the human body and were found to be used extensively in fast-food wrapping paper at many popular chain restaurants.

Tracing PFAS compounds is a difficult task. In the newly designed method, the scientists tried to do so by using radio tracers. One of the fluorine atoms on the PFAS molecule was replaced with a radioactive form of fluorine, the same radioisotope fluorine-18 that is used for medical positron emission tomography scans in hospitals around the world.

"For the first time, we have a PFAS tracer or chemical that we have tagged to see where it goes in mice," said senior author Suzanne Lapi. "Each of the tracers exhibited some degree of uptake in all of the organs and tissues of interest that were tested, including the brain. The highest uptake was observed in the liver and stomach, and similar amounts were observed in the femur and lungs."

Exposure to PFASs is linked to kidney and testicular cancer, elevated cholesterol, decreased fertility, and thyroid problems in adults. In children, it is said to have adverse effects on growth, learning and behaviour and decreased immune response to vaccines.

PFASs are also found in stain-resistant products, firefighting materials and nonstick cookware. They tend to easily contaminate the food.

"We are very excited about this technique, which borrows from our current work developing nuclear medicine imaging agents," said first author Jennifer Burkemper. "This work can enable rapid screening of PFAS compounds to gain key insights into their biological fate."

The study was published in the Journal of Environment Science and Technology.
