Hepatologist Alla Yuzhnova explained which foods to avoid to reduce the risk of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). It is reported by medikforum.ru.
Most processed and fried foods, such as sweets, cookies, sodas and fruit juices, can increase the amount of fat that accumulates in the liver, she says. High salt content in foods can also increase the risk of NAFLD. The doctor also recommends avoiding fatty processed meats high in saturated fat to reduce this risk.
NAFLD is closely associated with being overweight, type 2 diabetes, heart disease and circulatory problems. NAFLD can put you at risk of developing liver cancer or liver failure.
The main treatment for NAFLD is a balanced diet, physical activity and, if necessary, weight loss. Studies show they can reduce liver fat and, in some cases, reverse NAFLD.
According to the doctor, NAFLD has no specific symptoms, but people may experience fatigue, a general feeling of lethargy or lack of energy, and discomfort in the upper right part of the abdomen.
