Exercise, proper diet help prevent fatty liver disease

EXERCISE and a proper diet can help prevent fatty liver disease, Dr. Wendell Espinosa, president of the Hepatology Association of the Philippines and fellow of the Philippine College of Physicians, said.

"For patients with non-complex fatty liver disease, lifestyle management like exercise will do. With regards to the food, we advocate a hypocaloric diet. This means that the patients should consume lesser food than the usual," Espinosa said in a forum on Saturday.
