How to avoid developing NAFLD
There are a number of things people can do to reduce their risk of developing NAFLD. One of the main ways is to lose weight and keep your BMI (Body Mass Index) at a healthy level. The NHS says people should “aim for a BMI of 18.5 to 24; losing more than 10 percent of your weight can remove some fat from the liver”.
The two main ways to lose weight are eating a balanced diet and engaging in regular exercise. Eating a balanced diet means consuming fruits and vegetables and keeping salt and sugar intake to a minimum.
With regard to exercise, the NHS recommends at least 150 minutes of exercise a week of moderate to intense physical activity. Examples of this include walking, cycling, and running.
Alongside losing weight, quitting smoking and reducing alcohol intake are also recommended; both smoking and alcohol consumption can increase your risk of liver disease and a range of other conditions.
