NONALCOLHOLIC / METABOLIC / FATTY LIVER DISEASES

Lifestyle and Dietary Management

Weight Loss: Losing 7–10% of body weight is highly effective at reducing liver inflammation.

Dietary Changes: Adopt a Mediterranean-style diet, which emphasizes vegetables, fruits, whole grains, and healthy fats (olive oil, nuts) while restricting sugar, white bread, and red/processed meats.

Exercise: A combination of aerobic exercise (brisk walking, swimming) and resistance training (weights) reduces liver fat. Aim for at least 150 minutes of moderate-intensity activity per week.

Avoid Alcohol: Eliminate or strictly limit alcohol, as it accelerates liver damage.

Medical Management

Manage Underlying Conditions: Effectively treat diabetes, high blood pressure, and high cholesterol to reduce cardiovascular risk.

Medication: Currently, no specific drug is approved for reversing fat buildup; however, doctors may prescribe medicines to manage related metabolic conditions.

Supplements: Certain supplements like Omega-3 fatty acids may help reduce liver fat.
