There is a common the opinion that certain products promote liver cell regeneration.
This was reported by URA-Inform with reference to Ua-novosti.
However, doctors claim that such “miracle products” do not exist. According to gastroenterologist-hepatologist Sergei Vyalov, specific products cannot directly restore the liver.
However, proper nutrition can slow down the negative processes that lead to diseases of this organ. He emphasized that products rich in amino acids and proteins can improve the liver's ability to regenerate, since this organ has the ability to self-heal.
“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 amount of scar fibers after liver damage will become smaller,” the hepatologist shared the data.
Coffee is also useful for maintaining the liver. The doctor noted that if there are no contraindications from other organs, you can drink up to three cups of coffee a day. Scientific studies have shown that caffeine stimulates the production of enzymes that prevent the development of cirrhosis and maintain liver health.
“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.
