Living with the Fatty Liver Disease

A balanced diet (such as the Mediterranean), low in saturated fat. Avoiding sugar and eliminating sugary drinks is crucial. Sugary drinks, such as soft drinks and fruit juices (whether natural or processed), are rich in fructose which promotes the synthesis and accumulation of new fat in the liver; therefore, it is recommended to avoid them. Also, despite the growing popularity of intermittent fasting diet, there is not enough evidence on their benefits in fatty liver disease. 

Physical exercise. Moderate or intense physical exercise 3 or 4 times a week, totalling 150-200 minutes. This can mobilise and reduce the fat content of the liver. More and more importance is being given on combining strength training with aerobic exercises, such as walking quickly, running, cycling and elliptical training. The muscle mass gained by strength exercises promotes increased basal metabolism, leading to an improvement in insulin sensitivity and diabetes control.

Being less sedentary: for example, by taking less public or private transport and walking up stairs instead of taking the lift. If you work sitting down, take more breaks and move your body.
