Peanuts make convenient and delicious snacks on their own or in trail mixes, and they are full of essential nutrients. They may even have benefits in managing fatty liver, which is a common condition. For the best results, eat them in moderation as part of a balanced diet, and consult your doctor if you have concerns.
Fatty Liver and Diet
Nonalcoholic steatohepatitis, or fatty liver, occurs when fat builds up in your liver. The condition is often asymptomatic, but it can lead to complications such as liver scarring or liver failure. Fatty liver has some risk factors that you cannot change, such as an older age or being male, according to the Mayo Clinic. But ways to promote liver health include avoiding alcohol and following your doctor’s dietary recommendations, such as limiting saturated fat intake.
