Can Lemon Juice help a Fatty Liver?
Lemon juice has some benefits for your liver, mainly because it helps digesting the food you eat.
The main reason for this is because lemon juice has certain components that stimulate your digestive juices to process your food a better way.
Further more, lemon juice can help to prevent entrance of undigested food into the bloodstream.
The filtering of the undigested food is actually the job of the liver already, and is responsible to prevent these food particles to enter would your bloodstream. By doing it, the undigested food is treated as contaminates.
Liver lemon juice can relieve the liver with its workload. For some patients with fatty liver disease, and other liver disease, this means that the liver can work more effectively to process the food you eat, especially fat.
Additionally, lemon juice is rich of Vitamin C, which is an excellent antioxidant. As an antioxidant, it can cleanse your blood from various toxins.
Another benefit of a lemon juice is that it can also help removing gallstones from the bladder. Every time you mix a lemon juice with Epsom salts and olive oil, the bile produced by the liver is not used anymore. The pileup of the bile will pressure the gallstones outside of your bladder.
Lemon Juice
All in all, the only thing to say is that if you put a slice of lemon in a glass of water each morning, it could have a great affects on your liver. So get used for liver lemon juice!

In regards to loosing the weight for fatty liver by making nutritional changes, I have already lost 7 pds in the last 2 weeks. I stopped adding sugar and watch for the cholesterol and fat content in foods. Its simple after the first 3 days. This is just my experience so far with weight but have not incorporated exercise just yet.

Had never heard of fatty liver before I was diagnosed with it a few weeks ago. Hope it was the slap in the face I needed to stop drinking forever. I haven’t had a drink since the diagnosis and I’m feeling pretty good, all things considered. I’ve cut out sugar completely, am eating more fruits and raw veggies and drinking plenty of good old water.
Just wanted to say hi and wish everyone the best. Keep it up, all!

I was diagnosed with fatty liver 5 years ago. I have taken 3 rounds of liver cleans pills, artichoke liquid, milk thistle pills, green tea. I started this regime about a month ago. Bought a cuisinart electric juice machine and drink fresh juice from oranges, or tangerines before I even wash my face. Do 5 minutes on the eliptical machine at a moderate speeed. Add one frozen lemon (limes are better) to my bottle of water and drink this during the day at the office. In the evening I drink anter 2-3 glasses of lime water.
I was 70 pounds over weight now down to 50 over
combine the above regimen with a couple of glasses of cold green tea.
all my tests are excellent whuch is a consternation for the Doctor. With the exception of being fat and have moderately high blood pressure, I can say after this month of lemon water and orange juice, I Feeel better.. Maybe all the other stuff helped, but I never felt any better until the lemon water. Even my clothes are getting loose around the mid section. Plan to stay on this for ever.
