Brief Answer:
Avoid alcohol to prevent the progression of fatty liver to cirrhosis
Detailed Answer:
Hi
Welcome
I have gone through your query.
Fatty liver is usually the beginning stages of alcohol induced liver damage and is completely reversible if the patient refrains from alcohol.
I would suggest you to avoid alcohol.
High caloric intake, high fatty food intake and poor exercise regimens lead to deposition of fat goblets in the liver tissue leading to fatty liver. This is also completely reversible in the initial stages if caloric intake is limited and exercise regimens are adhered to. If left un-checked, patients usually become obese, diabetic and in final stages may lead to cirrhosis of the liver.
Apart from stopping alcohol I would suggest you
Eat only healthy foods,avoid fatty processed foods. Avoid meat for 15 days, add more fibres to your diet.
Exercise regularly every day If you are overweight ,you need to lose weight.
Drink plenty of water.
You can take Liv 52,which is a herbal preparation that can have protective effects on the liver.
Hope this helps.
I'll be glad to address your further queries
Take care
