Fatty fish

Omega-3 fatty acids, found in fatty fish, are healthy fats that help decrease inflammation and have been linked to a reduced risk of heart disease. In those with nonalcoholic fatty liver disease or nonalcoholic steatohepatitis, omega-3 fatty acids helped decrease liver fat and triglycerides, according to a 2016 study.

While eating omega-3-rich fatty fish appears to be beneficial to your liver, it is not the only factor to consider. The ratio of omega-3 to omega-6 fatty acids is also crucial. Most Americans consume more omega-6 fats, which are present in many plant oils than is recommended. An excessively high omega-6 to omega-3 ratio can accelerate the development of liver disease. So it’s a good idea to reduce your intake of omega-6 fats.
