In addition to their macronutrient content, avocados offer other health benefits. They are rich in vitamin E, which provides antioxidant protection to liver cells and may help lower inflammation linked with NAFLD. The fiber in avocados helps keep you full and can contribute to weight management, one of the most important strategies for controlling (and potentially even reversing) NAFLD.
Incorporate ½ of an avocado into your daily routine by layering it on whole-wheat toast with tomato, tossing it into salads with spinach and lemon, or pureeing it into a dip with plain yogurt. Eat ripe avocados (they should be firm but give slightly under pressure) 3–5 times per week. Make sure to moderate portion size, since half an avocado contains around 120 kcal.
