Fatty liver disease and nutrition

Fatty liver disease, also known as hepatic steatosis, is a condition characterized by the excessive accumulation of fat in liver cells. This condition can be due to alcohol consumption (alcoholic fatty liver disease) or can occur without alcohol (non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, NAFLD). NAFLD is linked to other factors such as obesity, type 2 diabetes, metabolic syndrome, including high blood pressure (hypertension), hypercholesterolemia, and insulin resistance.

Choose my plate

A simple and effective approach to nutrition balance is the “Choose My Plate” method, developed by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA). This method provides an easy way to organize our meals, emphasizing the correct proportion of different food groups.
