The hepatitis C diet

Truth be told, there's no special "hepatitis C diet." But that doesn't mean you can just go rogue with your meal plan. Diet is important for hepatitis C because all the nutrients you eat pass through your liver during digestion—and your liver is the prime target of the hepatitis virus. What's more, some foods can actually damage your liver and raise your risk of complications. The good news is that a few simple changes, along with regular medical care, may help protect your liver and keep you feeling well.
