Your liver helps your body in a variety of ways, such as detoxifying your system and turning food into energy and nutrients. But if you have hepatitis C (hep C), your liver may be damaged and may need some extra help doing its job.
Being mindful about what you eat is critical to having a healthy liver. Eating a nutritious diet during hep C treatment will help your immune system fight off the hepatitis virus, boost your liver function, and cut your risk of cirrhosis. Some foods, however, can actually damage your liver.
Here’s what to eat—and what to avoid—while receiving hepatitis C treatment.
