National Academy of Sciences (PNAS) conducted a research recently based on leafy green vegetables impact on the liver health with a testing trial on mice. The results featured in the journal proceedings of the organization concluded that green leafy vegetables brought in a big changeover in the live health of the subjected mice.
Spinach, lettuce and other green vegetables all over the world are filled with chlorophyll directly derived from the sun. This makes higher nitrate concentrations on these food sources making it more viable and suitable for human beings. The recent research expresses the possibility of nitrate compounds eliminating the fatty liver issue form our bodies in terms of detoxification.
Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) or liver steatosis is a condition in which excess fat is store and built in the liver as a result of poor diet and lifestyle leading to many disturbing symptoms.

The research of Karolinska Institute in Sweden has found out the inorganic nitrate present in the green vegetables reduce the build-up of fat in the liver cleaning the organ leading to general wellness.
Liver is one of the key organs of the body eliminating wastes and detoxifying harmful elements form outside environment. Liver health plays a major role in overall health of a person. The research incorporated three groups of mice with different diet criteria. Control group received a normal diet and another group received a high fat typical American diet. The third group received a high fat diet with nitrate supplementation. The results concluded the chaperone protein present in the green leafy vegetables regulated the overall body mass and liver health in the third mice group. The high fat diet mice group has a considerable weight gain and excess sugar levels while the third group was witnessed with a regulated body markers. The nitrate supplementation brought in some excellent sugar level regulation and uniform blood pressure changes inside the third mice group.
It is very clear that leafy green vegetables along with natural fruits can very much impact the cardio vascular and liver health positively. More studies on nitrate compound related to green sources should be done for making it more approachable and therapeutic. However artificial production of such nitrate compounds and consuming it along with an unhealthy diet and daily routine is not a best solution to improve your health.

Liver health determines the sugar levels, type 2 diabetes and other related issues based on metabolism. Some of the researches has also shown best results on liver health as a result of fasting. Fasting for a day or intermittent fasting is a way keeping away food for a considerable time period. This allows a body to redirect all its energy from digestion to cell repair and fat burn. Liver is one of the main organs working for digestion and elimination of waste. Once you fast for more than 12 hours the excess sugar in the muscles and glycogen in liver used up for ththe energy. Then body uses the excess fat stored in the liver for gaining energy. This can lead to the reduction of fat deposits in the liver and other vital portions of your body.
Many researches all over the world gives this fasting solution for many body ailments such as obesity, liver disease, indigestion, heart issues and so on. Intermittent fasting methods like 16/8 method, One meal a day and 24 hours IF are analyzed and experimented more with human trials showing excellent results in terms of overall health especially liver health. Resting the liver without any further ingestion of food tends to clear out all toxins out of the body and liver starts to function properly after you start the refeeding.
Most of the liver based diseases can be easily sorted out with fasting methods, dietary changes and healthy lifestyle. Going for a medicine based solution immediately after diagnosing a fatty liver issue is not a best way to reverse the disease.
