Doctors reveal the surprising effects of eggs on the liver

The liver is the largest internal organ - it performs hundreds of functions. But do you know how your diet affects your liver? Dr. Janine Bowring, from Canada, says eggs are great for protecting the liver.

Eggs, along with beef liver and beef tenderloin, are among the highest in the essential nutrient choline, says health news site Bestlife , according to Dr. Janine Bowring.

Eggs are one of the best sources of choline, with one egg providing 169 mg, meaning eating just two eggs a day can meet 61% of your daily choline needs.

Notably, the US National Institutes of Health notes that choline deficiency can lead to muscle damage, liver damage, and fatty liver.

Research shows that diets low in choline lead to fatty liver and significant liver damage — marked by elevated liver enzymes — in some people.

Besides eggs, olive oil is also very good.

In addition to eggs, Dr. Janine Bowring also pointed out another food with outstanding liver-nourishing properties, which is olive oil, according to Bestlife .

Dr Janine Bowring says olive oil is rich in liver-friendly antioxidants, such as polyphenols. Antioxidants help protect the body from cell damage caused by free radicals, which over time can damage tissues and organs like the liver.

In fact, research has shown that polyphenols in olive oil can reduce harmful inflammation and fat accumulation in the liver.

Studies also show that the high content of monounsaturated fatty acids in olive oil significantly improves fat metabolism in the liver, which may help prevent fatty liver.

In addition, Dr. Bowring also recommends avoiding certain foods to ensure a healthy liver, such as sweets, foods high in saturated fat (animal fat, margarine) and trans fat (often found in fried foods). These foods can also contribute to fatty liver.
