20 Feb, 2023 | 12:27h | UTCSummary: The article reports on a randomized trial that compared the effects of alternate-day fasting (ADF) combined with exercise, fasting alone, or exercise alone in adults with obesity and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). After three months, the combination of ADF and exercise significantly reduced intrahepatic triglyceride content, body weight, fat mass, waist circumference, and alanine transaminase levels compared to the control group. The intervention seems promising for patients with fatty liver disease who want to improve their health without using medications.
