Dr. Jed Warns: 4 Things to Stop to Prevent Fatty Liver
Dr. Jed Boonawongwirot, Deputy Director of Primary Care at Maharat Nakhon Ratchasima Hospital, shared critical advice about preventing fatty liver disease. He emphasized that fatty liver isn't just caused by alcohol, but often develops silently without symptoms.
His four key recommendations are:
1. Stop consuming excessive sugar, especially fructose from sweetened drinks and juices
2. Eliminate bad fats and avoid overconsuming even healthy fats
3. Avoid prolonged sitting after meals
4. Don't assume abstaining from alcohol automatically protects your liver
Dr. Jed stressed that daily small behaviors are crucial, and people should be proactive about liver health to prevent chronic inflammation and future complications.
