What are the symptoms?

Fatty liver disease  is often asymptomatic , but certain signs should alert you:

  • Persistent fatigue
  • Right-sided abdominal discomfort
  • A general feeling of unease
  • Jaundice (yellowing of the skin and eyes, an advanced sign of the disease)

If these symptoms appear,  it is essential to consult a doctor to have a liver test performed.

How to prevent and manage fatty liver disease?

Good news  : a healthy lifestyle can  prevent or even reduce fatty liver disease  ! Here are  the essential steps to take .

  1. Adopt a balanced diet

Choose  natural, nutrient-rich foods  :

  • Fresh fruits and vegetables
  • Whole grains (brown rice, quinoa, oat flakes)
  • Lean proteins (fish, poultry, legumes)
  • Good fats (olive oil, avocado, walnuts, almonds)

Avoid processed foods, added sugars and saturated fats.

  1. Practice regular physical activity

Exercise helps  reduce liver fat and improve insulin sensitivity . The ideal?

  • 150 minutes per week  of moderate activity ( brisk walking, swimming, cycling ).
  • Combine cardio with muscle strengthening exercises.

  1. Managing your weight
