Have Fatty Liver, High Iron Reading. Did Ultrasound. Precautions To Be Taken?

My doctor has told me I have fatty liver and high iron reading showed up in my blood tests. He said it is nothing serious and is sending me to have a ultra sound done on my liver. Being in a country town it is taking time to have these results done. Is there anything I can do in the meantime (reducing some foods or increasing certain food intake) that can reduce this risk?

Hi, Fatty liver is completely curable. You must first begin to improve your lifestyle by exercising and avoiding fatty foods, particularly foods that contain triglycerides. By regulating your diet as well as through regular exercise you will be able to lose some weight. Once you begin losing weight you would also begin losing fat from your liver. This momentum of weight loss should inspire you to exercise harder and make yourself fitter. If your fatty liver is caused by alcohol intake or fat food intake you can stop these immediately or gradually to reduce the strain on your liver. Combine this with increased levels of physical activity for best effect.
Omega 3 acids are present in some plants and especially in fish. Omega 3 acids have been known to have a positive effect on the body by improving the blood to fat ratio in the body. With Regards, Dr.Sharmila
