About the Case Presentation
Nutrition plays a crucial role in the development and management of fatty liver disease (NAFLD or NASH). Excessive consumption of high-calorie, high-fat, and sugary foods can lead to the accumulation of fat in the liver. On the other hand, a balanced diet with reduced intake of saturated fats, added sugars, and processed foods, combined with increased consumption of fruits, vegetables, and whole grains, can help prevent and manage fatty liver disease. Additionally, maintaining a healthy weight through regular physical activity and portion control is essential, as obesity is a significant risk factor for NAFLD. Nutrition, therefore, is central in both the prevention and treatment of fatty liver, making dietary adjustments a critical component of managing this condition.
