Minute To Reboot Your Liver With A Pancake Day Binge

DO YOU KNOW HOW IMPORTANT YOUR LIVER IS, REALLY? 

We’d wager not. Yes, you joke about it taking a battering on a Friday night, but it’s useful for more than nullifying a booze binge. Your liver is responsible for the metabolism of food, too. And much like beer’s harmful alcohol content, the Western diet is flooding your system with sugar and drowning your liver in harmful fatty deposits. Around one in three Australian adults are at risk of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). But you can lighten up, because there’s a fluffy, delicious antidote. 

Whisk up four eggs and you can batter your risks of NAFLD with a healthy stack of pancakes. A study by Kangwon National University in South Korea found that egg yolks undo the damage of a high-sugar diet, reducing fat build-up in your liver. It’s down to the Atherogenic Index – the ratio between healthy HDL and bad LDL cholesterol in your blood. And, flying in the face of popular

belief about eggs and cholesterol, subjects who ate yolks regularly had lower levels of liver fat. So spoon some batter into a pan and fry on each side for three minutes until golden brown. Stack them high. Oh, and double down on the maple syrup. Yes it’s sweet, but its 54 antioxidants act as a salve to liver inflammation. Time to indulge.
