• #1 Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) prevention: role of Mediterranean diet and physical activity

  https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC6503241/

  Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is one of the most common causes of chronic liver disease in Western countries leading to high morbidity and mortality and is strongly related to obesity. […] In order to decrease intrahepatic lipid (IHL) content and improve NAFLD, lifestyle interventions involving both diet and physical activity are recommended. […] In particular, great attention is focused on Mediterranean diet, which seems to help in gradually improving the severity of NAFLD. […] A randomized, cross-over intervention study demonstrated that in just 6 weeks, an olive-oil rich Mediterranean diet can result in a 40% relative reduction in liver fat measured by magnetic resonance in the form of IHL%. […] A very recent study by Ma and collaborators demonstrated that improved diet quality led to a decrease in liver fat accumulation and consequently a reduced risk and severity of steatosis in adults.

• #2 MASLD, NAFLD and fatty liver disease – British Liver Trust

  https://britishlivertrust.org.uk/information-and-support/liver-conditions/masld-nafld-and-fatty-liver-disease/

  Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) is a long-lasting liver condition caused by having too much fat in the liver. […] The main treatment is eating a well-balanced diet, being physically active and (if needed) losing weight. Research shows these can reduce liver fat and in some cases reverse MASLD. […] Treating MASLD with a healthy diet, physical activity and weight loss can slow or even reverse liver damage, especially if it is at an earlier stage. […] By eating healthily, doing plenty of physical activity and keeping your weight in a healthy range you have a good chance of repairing any damage and reversing your fatty liver disease. […] The main treatment is eating a healthy diet, being more physically active and (if needed) losing weight. This might seem like very general advice, but these steps all reduce liver fat and inflammation. For example, for people who are overweight, evidence shows losing 5 to 10% of their bodyweight can stop and sometimes even reverse liver damage.

  The normal goal in treating any type of fat buildup in the liver is to reach a healthy weight through diet and exercise. […] You shouldn’t drink at all if your fatty liver disease results from heavy drinking. It can lead to more serious liver damage. If you have MASLD, it may be OK to have a drink once in a while, but not more than every other month. Ask your doctor first. […] Even dropping just 5% of your body weight could lower the fat in your liver. Lose between 7% and 10% of your body weight and you’ll lower inflammation and the odds of injury to your liver cells. You might even reverse some of the damage. Go slow 1 to 2 pounds per week is fine. Rapid weight loss might make things worse. If you can’t shed the pounds, ask your doctor if weight loss surgery is an option for you. […] Aerobic exercise can actually cut the amount of fat in your liver. A heavy workout may also lower inflammation. Resistance or strength training exercises, like weight lifting, can also improve fatty liver disease. Aim for 30 to 60 minutes or more of mid- to high-level aerobic exercise on at least 5 days a week and mid- to high-level strength training 3 days a week.
