However, there are ways to “prevent liver damage from starting or reversing it once it’s in the early stages,” Guinane added. Making diet changes is one of the best ways to do this. “We recommend patients with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease drink three cups of coffee per day, eat four tablespoons of olive oil a day and follow a Mediterranean diet, which emphasizes eating primarily plant-based foods and healthy fats,” the expert revealed. This may not sound like traditional diet advice, but Guinane explained that the Mediterranean diet is balanced and calls for “more fruits and veggies, more whole grains, more nuts and legumes, lean meats, less red meat and less sweets/added sugars.”

Eating eggs, in particular, is helpful to the liver. One study conducted by researchers in 2014 found that an increased intake of choline, which is found in eggs, can lower a person’s risk of developing this incurable liver disease.

Eating eggs every day can strengthen your bones and teeth

It’s true. Eggs are also “surprisingly good for teeth,” according to Jefferson Dental Clinics, because they contain phosphorus, vitamin K, and vitamin D.

But those aren’t the only nutrients that make eggs a superfood for the teeth. The high-protein content also helps. “Proteins are vital for the formation and maintenance of the tooth structure,” dentist Akshima Sahi revealed in an article for News Medical. “They also protect the mucosa and the connective tissue lining the oral cavity, and contribute towards a healthy immune system.” And, if that weren’t enough, eggs also contain vitamin A, which Sahi revealed is also “essential in maintaining the mucosal lining and connective tissues supporting the teeth.” The more you know.
