Non-alcoholic steatohepatitis, more commonly known as “fatty liver disease”, could be avoided or even cured thanks to this habit which will only take two and a half hours of your time per week.
Little known, non-alcoholic steatohepatitis would still affect 200,000 people in France according to Inserm. More commonly called “fatty liver disease”, it “corresponds to an accumulation of fat in the liver (steatosis) associated with inflammation of the organ (hepatitis)”. This pathology mainly affects people suffering from type 2 diabetes. Although it is difficult to identify it through symptoms, it can quickly develop in the body and cause fibrosis. American researchers from the Penn State College of Medicine are interested inow various ways to control its spread.
If this method has proven effective on patients who are affected, the trick also aims to “significantly” reduce the amount of liver fat, namely the fat present in the liver for those at risk. Associated with a healthy and balanced diet, this habit to take will only take you two and a half hours a week and can prevent the risk of cancer.

Through various studies carried out on 551 patients of various ages, sex, weight and physical conditions suffering from the disease, the researchers noted that two and a half hours of so-called “cardio” physical activities made it possible to reduce liver fat by 30%. They would allow “to achieve a clinically significant response to treatment of hepatic fat measured by MRI compared to standard clinical care”. For the less athletic who would like to improve their life expectancy, Jonathan Stine, associate professor of medicine and public health sciences and hepatologist recommends practice “brisk walking or light cycling for half an hour a day, five times a week”.
