Stay at a healthy weight

Studies show that between 30% and 45% of Americans have extra fat in their livers. It's advised to make an effort to maintain a body mass index (BMI) of 18 to 25. You may use online calculators to help you determine your number.

Liver disease can result from a fatty liver. Losing weight lowers liver fat and helps in the battle against liver disease. If you're overweight, the greatest strategy to help maintain a healthy weight and reduce your risk of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease is through exercise and a well-balanced diet. Losing even a little weight can significantly reduce the risk of developing liver disease. Your doctor can help you decide on a weight target that will support long-term wellness for your body.
