Weight Loss Improves Fatty Liver Disease

A miracle.
"In a recent study, Saint Louis University researchers found that weight loss of at least 9 percent helped patients reverse a type of liver disease known as nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), a finding that will allow doctors to give patients specific weight-loss goals that are likely to improve their livers...

Patients who lost 5 percent or more of body weight over nine months showed improvement in insulin resistance and steatosis (fat accumulation in the liver), and those who lost at least 9 percent showed reversal of their liver damage...

'The bottom line is that weight loss can help improve fatty liver disease,' said Neuschwander-Tetri, who is a professor of internal medicine at Saint Louis University."
Imagine that.

Losing weight can reverse a disease caused by overweight/obesity.

Hallelujah!
