Fatty Liver Disease: two easy solutions

Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) now affects up to one in three adults.

It may soon become the leading cause of death in the world, putting the scientific community on a race to find a solution.

And a new study in Scientific Reports may have found the solution.

It’s a combination of two very easy-to-implement diets.

The researchers ran a 12-week study with people diagnosed with NAFLD. The participants were split into two groups.

One group followed a time-restricted feeding (TRF) schedule, eating only during an eight-hour window each day.

During these eight hours, they followed the DASH diet.

The second group followed a more traditional calorie-reduced diet with meals spread throughout the day.

Throughout the study, researchers measured several important health markers, including body mass index (BMI), waist circumference, liver fat content (using a measurement called CAP), liver enzymes (ALT and AST), insulin levels, insulin resistance, and inflammatory markers.

The results were promising for those on the combined approach:

1. Their BMI decreased significantly.

2. Their waist size dropped more than that of the traditional dieting group.

3. They showed lower liver fat on the CAP measurement.

4. They experienced lower levels of both liver enzymes ALT and AST—these are markers of liver inflammation.

5. Insulin and insulin resistance improved in both groups, but more so in the TRF + DASH group.

These results suggest that the combo diet didn’t just help people lose weight; it reduced fat in the liver and signs of liver inflammation, which is crucial for managing NAFLD.

So, to keep your liver healthy, stick to a daily eight-hour eating window — like 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. — and go DASH-style by eating more fruits, vegetables, beans, nuts, and whole grains while cutting back on processed foods, salt, and sugary drinks.

But there’s an even easier way to actually cure NAFLD naturally using simple lifestyle changes explained here (thousands of readers have already done it)…
