Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
First of all relax, as fatty liver is quite common. XXXXXXX (non alcoholic steatohepatitis/ fatty liver) is basically excess fat deposition in the liver along with inflammation. XXXXXXX most often occurs in people who are in their middle ages and are overweight/obese. Genetic tendency has been reported in patients.
Some suggestions for you:
1) You need to do some regular exercise like brisk walking for 45 min-1 hour daily which is utmost important in this.
2) Avoid saturated Fats such as: lard, cream, cheese, eggs, etc.
Hydrogenated fats such as: shortening, margarine, refined and rancid oils
3) Avoid highly processed, refined foods, Coffee, Chocolate, Sugar, Spicy Foods, Fried Foods.
4) Eat high fiber meals, vegetables and fruits.
5) Drink lots of water and avoid soda, colas, alcohol, smoking.
Ursodeoxychiloic acid (UDCA) is supposed to help in reducing the fatty liver. You can discuss with the Physician regarding its use in your case.
Hope this answers your query. Please accept the answer in case you do not have follow up query.
