Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) occurs when fat makes up 5–10% of the liver’s weight. It is closely linked to sedentary habits and poor diet, but it can often be reversed.
Nutrition Planary Changes for NAFLD
– Emphasize Whole Foods: Vegetables, fruits, whole grains, lean proteins.
– Cut Sugar and Refined Carbs: Avoid sugary drinks, desserts, and snacks.
– Include Wellness-Focused Fats: Avocados, nuts, seeds, olive oil.
Physical Activity and Weight Practical Management Approaches
– Aerobic Physical Activity: 150 minutes of moderate-intensity per week.
– Strength Training: At least twice weekly.
– Weight Loss: Losing just 5–10% of body weight significantly reduces liver fat.
Other Essential Habits
– Stay hydrated (8+ glasses of water daily).
– Limit or avoid alcohol.
– Monitor medications and supplements.
– Manage diabetes, high blood pressure, and cholesterol.
– Get regular check-ups and liver function tests.
– Reduce stress with yoga, meditation, or deep breathing.
