If you’ve learned you have fatty liver and your body mass index is above 25, a healthy diet and daily exercise may potentially:

• Reduce inflammation
• Lower elevated levels of liver enzymes
• Decrease insulin resistance
• Reduce the amount of accumulated fat in your liver

To begin you must discuss with your doctor and meet up a dietitian. Just in case you have any other condition along with Cirrhosis then they will have to give you a customized diet. Do not make changes in the diet prescribed without consulting your doctor or dietitian.

A good rule of thumb is that a healthy and nutritious diet is helpful for just about anyone and this is especially true if you have cirrhosis. Foods like fruits, vegetables, whole grains and proteins of proper types and in proper amounts are very appropriate.
You must also take a daily multivitamin. Depending on the degree of cirrhosis, some people might not have enough of the key minerals and fat-soluble vitamins (which are vitamins K, A, D, and E) that the body requires. However, a balanced diet should easily provide these and in the rare case when it doesn’t, your doctor can prescribe a supplement.
A lot of Ayurvedic and Homeopathic tonics are available for the live but please make sure that you get a prescription from a certified medical practitioner for them.
Things that are absolutely NO..NO..are alcohol and high-fat foods.
For people with cirrhosis, regardless of the cause, alcohol should be completely avoided. And, diets high in fat for people with cirrhosis can be very harmful.

The body digests (breaks down) fats using bile, which is a yellow-green fluid made in the liver. When the liver is damaged, the production and supply of bile may be affected.
However, it is important not to avoid fat entirely because the body requires a daily supply to remain healthy. Here, as is with much of proper nutrition, moderation and good selection is the key. For your dietary fat, choose foods like nuts, avocados, fish and plant oils.

Ice cream is a frozen dessert usually made from dairy products, such as milk and cream, and often combined with fruits or other ingredients and flavors. Most varieties contain sugar, although some are made with other sweeteners. In some cases, artificial flavorings and colorings are used in addition to (or in replacement of) the natural ingredients. This mixture is stirred slowly while cooling to prevent large ice crystals from forming; the result is a smoothly textured ice cream.

The meaning of the term ice cream varies from one country to another. Terms like frozen custard, frozen yogurt, sorbet, gelato and others are used to distinguish different varieties and styles. In some countries, like the USA, the term ice cream applies only to a specific variety, and their governments regulate the commercial use of all these terms based on quantities of ingredients. In others, like Italy and Argentina, one word is used for all the variants. Alternatives made from soy milk, rice milk, and goat milk are available for those who are lactose intolerant or have an allergy to dairy protein, or in the case of soy and rice milk, for those who want to avoid animal products.

Being a fitness person, what I suggest is fruit yoghurt or frozen fresh fruit puree as substitute for ice creams! You could also opt for low calorie ice creams made with sugar substitute. Ice creams with honey, fruits and dried fruits are quite nutritious.

Study done by Indian researchers revealed that Fenugreek added to type I diabetic patient’s diet, helps drop urinary sugar level by 54 percent. Because of the presence of the natural fibre galactomannan, Fenugreek slows down the rate at which sugar is absorbed into blood. The amino acid (4-hydroxyisoleucine) in Fenugreek induces the production of insulin and therefore, 15-20 grams of Fenugreek daily is recommended for controlling blood sugar.
• Relief for sore throat: Fenugreek’s soothing mucilage helps to relieve sore throat pain and cough.
