What Are the Best Timings to Eat During the Day to Promote Liver Health?

Your dietary habits and behaviors can increase the risk of developing fatty liver disease, according to the latest studies. How and when you eat is as important as what you eat. We have put together a daily template for your liver-healthy diet to help you structure your day in a more liver-healthy way.

6am. Upon waking — hydrate 7am. Breakfast — load with carbs and fiber 10am. After breakfast — caffeinate 1pm. Lunch — load with protein and carbs 4pm. Between meals — afternoon snack 7pm. Dinner — keep it light and lean 10pm. Late-snack — light, but nutrient-dense

6am. Upon waking — hydrate

Right upon waking up, drink a glass of warm water. Hydrating in the morning can help your body flush out toxins and get digestion started — a problem many liver patients are dealing with.

7am. Breakfast — load with carbs and fiber

Eat most of your daily calories in the morning. Have your breakfast within the first 30 minutes after getting up. In the morning, our body needs healthy carbohydrates and fiber. Carbs are an important energy source for the muscles as well as for the brain. Fiber helps with weight management, reduces the risk of stroke, kidney and heart problems, cholesterol, and helps with blood sugar control.

10am. After breakfast — caffeinate

Do not drink coffee on an empty stomach. The best time to caffeinate — after breakfast or in the afternoon. Drinking coffee on an empty stomach can increase the acidity in the stomach which can cause heartburn and even develop gastric ulcers.

1pm. Lunch — load with protein and carbs

Make your lunch lighter than your breakfast, but make sure you still consume a sufficient amount of protein and healthy complex carbs to give you energy for the day ahead.

4pm. Between meals — afternoon snack

Eating small but frequent portions of meals throughout the day (4 to 7 times a day including a small late-night snack) can help liver patients cover the required daily amount of nutrients and avoid unhealthy cravings. Always choose low-sodium and sugar-free foods for snacking.

7pm. Dinner — keep it light and lean

If you consume the majority of your daily calories in the morning and afternoon, it will be easier for you to eat less for dinner. Choose foods for dinner which are nutrient-dense, but easy on the stomach. Fruits or vegetables together with an Amsety Bar of your favorite flavor are an excellent option.

10pm. Late-snack — light, but nutrient-dense

A late-night snack regime can reduce the negative effects of sleep-time fasting and prevent your liver from energy starvation during the nighttime. Avoid eating heavy meals before bedtime, but do not go to bed hungry. Make sure you choose healthy, energy-rich, but easily digestible, and low in sugar and sodium late-night snacks.
