Roles of olive oil and physical exercise in non-alcoholic fatty liver disease after ultrasound-based evaluation
Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) without special drugs shows symptoms of liver fat accumulation and steatosis in patients without alcohol intake. Ultrasound evaluation is a critical method in the early diagnosis of NAFLD stages as well as image processing and should be encouraged. Olive oil is an important component of the Mediterranean diet and has a beneficial role in the prevention of NAFLD progression. Physical activity and exercise can have anti-oxidant and anti-inflammatory effects to reduce liver fat and body weight via regulation of mitochondrial capacity in the development of NAFLD. Both the Mediterranean diet and physical exercise should be combined to achieve the ideal fat content reduction and weight loss in patients with NAFLD.
