Diet plays an extremely important role in normalizing and preventing high levels of bilirubin in the blood. The food and drinks we consume are processed by the liver.
Different nutrients are absorbed and processed differently, some are good for the liver and help maintain the level of bilirubin in the blood, while others put it under extra strain and can lead to health problems.
When the level of bilirubin in the blood is high, a person can develop jaundice, a disease in which bilirubin builds up in the body. Jaundice causes yellowing of the skin, eyes and gums and can be due to problems with the production or functioning of bilirubin in the liver.
Water Hydration is important and helps with rapid digestion and elimination of toxins from the liver. It is recommended to drink at least 2 liters of water per day, but the exact amount is calculated according to weight and age.
Fruits and vegetables Fresh fruits and vegetables are rich in fiber and antioxidants that support liver function and help with indigestion.
Coffee and tea – moderate amounts of coffee and herbal teas contain high levels of antioxidants and aid in the digestive process. Whole grains – oats and other whole grains are rich in healthy fats, fiber and minerals that are beneficial for the proper functioning of the liver. Nuts and legumes – they contain antioxidants and fiber, which support the normal functioning of the liver. Lean proteins – tofu, vegetables and fish are considered lean proteins that are less demanding on the liver, unlike red meat, which is difficult to process.
Packaged and canned foods These have a high level of preservatives, contain quite a lot of salt and this can lead to dehydration.
Alcohol is extremely harmful to the liver, and its regular consumption in large quantities can lead to liver fibrosis.
Refined carbohydrates They are high in refined sugar, and this can lead to liver failure, obesity, increased bilirubin levels and type 2 diabetes.
Saturated and trans fats People suffering from jaundice should avoid such fats because they increase insulin resistance.
Beef and pork are rich in iron and amino acids of animal origin, which are difficult for the liver to absorb, according to actualno.com, quoted by exquis.ro.
