FATTY LIVER? Don’t focus only on your liver. Focus on your MUSCLES too. 💪
Most people associate fatty liver with diet, weight or alcohol.
But there’s another important part of the metabolic picture that often gets overlooked:
Your skeletal muscle.
Muscle is one of the body’s major sites for glucose utilization and plays an important role in insulin sensitivity, energy expenditure and metabolic health.
A lifestyle that includes:
Frequent ultra-processed/high-calorie foods
Inadequate sleep
Too much sitting
Low physical activity
Poor muscle health
Excess body fat
can contribute to an unhealthy metabolic environment associated with fatty liver disease.
That’s why managing fatty liver isn’t only about “eating less.”
It’s also about improving the quality of your diet, maintaining a healthy weight and staying physically active.
And don’t forget your muscles.
Strength training
Regular aerobic activity
Mobility/yoga as appropriate
Balanced nutrition
can all be part of a healthier lifestyle.
Build better metabolic health—not just a lower number on the weighing scale.
