An unhealthy lifestyle = to little exercise and to much to eat

Weight increases due to an unhealthy lifestyle. Little exercise and too much food causes overweight and obesity. Fat is stored in various places in the body such as the abdomen and liver. Fat is a compact source of energy and it takes effort to reduce the size of adipose tissue. You can achieve this by exercising more and eating less unhealthy food.

Measure for too much adipose tissue

A lot of fat can be stored in the abdomen and you can easily determine this by measuring the waist circumference with a tape measure. It is recommended that the waist circumference is less than 80 cm for women and less than 94 cm for men.

Healthy liver by losing weight

So moving more and adjusting your diet are the most important pillars in the treatment of NAFLD/NASH. With 5-10% weight loss, your fatty liver and inflammation decrease significantly. This not only affects your liver health but also your overall health.

Losing weight through behavioral change

The combination of adjusting your diet and exercise habits is necessary to lose weight to a healthy weight. Adjusting behavior takes effort and for this you need support from your environment in addition to good motivation. You can be guided by a dietitian to improve your success in adjusting your diet. Discuss this with your GP, who works together with various dietitians from the practice.
