Stay healthy: fatty foods have no inherently damaging properties - but you yourself should stay as active and healthy and trim as possible. livers are pretty forgiving organs so 'everything in moderation' will go a long way.

And remember as far as the liver goes it is sugars in high amounts that are the enemy, not fats.
