Cirrhosis isn't curable or reversible, but it is treatable. Diet can play a big role in treatment by preventing further liver deterioration or complications.

Foods you can -- and should -- eat include these.

Green leafy vegetables These are rich in fiber, vitamins and minerals, but especially antioxidants. Antioxidants reduce inflammation and protect against liver damage.

Fruit Berries, grapes and grapefruit are especially good. Like vegetables, berries are high in antioxidants, fiber, vitamins and minerals your liver needs.

Fatty Fish Certain types of fish contain beneficial omega 3 fatty acids. "Omega 3's" appear to prevent the buildup of bad fats while maintaining healthy enzyme levels. Salmon, mackerel, herring, lake trout, sardines and albacore tuna are best.

Garlic Garlic contains selenium, a mineral that helps to detoxify the liver and activate important liver enzymes. These enzymes flush out toxins that can be harmful.

Nuts These contain unsaturated fatty acids, vitamin E, and antioxidants that promote cell health.

Oatmeal Whole grains have a lot of fiber that helps your liver work at its best.

Olive oil This is made up of omega 9 fatty acid. Good olive oil contains around 30 oils and chemicals which support liver function and reduce inflammation.

Green tea and coffee Both of these have a lot of antioxidants. which have been shown to help maintain good liver enzyme levels while reducing fat in the liver.

Your liver performs approximately 500 functions that keep your metabolism humming. So it's important to give your body the fuel it needs in the form of the foods you eat. This is especially true if your liver has already been damaged by cirrhosis.
