The most useful products for liver regeneration

You can often hear that certain foods need to be eaten to regenerate liver cells. However, doctors note that there are no miracle foods that would really contribute to the rapid regeneration of liver cells.

According to a specialist, gastroenterologist-hepatologist Sergey Vyalov, some specific foods cannot regenerate the liver, but at the same time, proper nutrition allows you to slow down the negative physiological processes that lead to diseases of this organ. In particular, the expert noted that products containing a lot of amino acids and proteins can improve the liver's potential for regeneration (the liver is one of the few organs with the property of self-regeneration).

In addition, coffee is useful for supporting active liver functions, including those related to regeneration.

“There is a huge evidence base that if the liver is sick, then the use of these products will help reduce fibrosis, that is, the number of scar fibers after liver damage will become smaller,” the hepatologist shared.

The doctor explained that in the absence of contraindications to coffee consumption from other organs, you can drink up to three cups of this drink per day to improve the liver. Scientific studies conducted to date have shown that caffeine increases the production of necessary enzymes that prevent the development of cirrhosis.

“The liver has the ability to regenerate, but this process is possible only if you do not eat or drink anything harmful. In addition, regenerative processes are possible if the liver is not infected with helminths or viruses,” the doctor added.
