Q I hardly exercise. What exercise is best for fatty liver and how much should I do?
A Aerobic exercise like brisk walking or cycling for 30–40 minutes, 3–5 times a week, is most effective at reducing fatty liver. Even without big weight loss, exercise alone reduces liver fat.
Detailed Answer
Aerobic exercise is the surest way to directly reduce fat accumulated in the liver. Doing brisk walking, cycling, or swimming for 30–40 minutes, 3–5 times a week, meaningfully reduces liver fat even without much weight change. Adding strength training about twice a week increases muscle mass, raising basal metabolism for even greater effect.
