Fatty liver disease, particularly non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), is increasingly recognized as a silent epidemic, impacting 32% of adults worldwide, with higher prevalence in men. Dr. Sonal Asthana, a lead consultant at Aster CMI Hospital in Bengaluru, emphasizes that early-stage fatty liver can often be reversed through lifestyle modifications. Key recommendations include achieving a healthy weight, adopting a balanced diet rich in fruits, vegetables, and whole grains, and engaging in regular exercise, such as 30 minutes of brisk walking daily. Avoiding alcohol and processed foods is also critical for liver health. Dr. Asthana notes that even individuals who appear thin can develop fatty liver due to factors like diet and genetics.
