3. Sodium
If your meal has plenty of sodium or salt, then it is most probably wreaking havoc on your liver. A normal amount of sodium helps to regulate and control fluids in your body and blood pressure. But if you’re prone to fluid retention, try to avoid high sodium foods as too much salt can create excess fluid in your liver, too. This can damage the liver over time. MSG, which is a concentrated form of salt used in Chinese food is also known to be toxic to the liver. Interestingly, it can also lead to fatty liver disease. Stay away from foods such as deli meats, butter, canned goods and soy sauce.
