Weight problems are best dealt with by prevention and without the need for professional medical intervention. Although it is not always possible to avoid NAFLD, you can significantly reduce your risk by exercising as much as you are able and eating healthily to control your weight.
The health risks from being overweight or obese can impact on your physical, social and emotional well being. People with NAFLD who go on to have cirrhosis are at higher risk of developing liver failure. If you are obese, your risk of ending up in hospital or even dying from cirrhosis is much higher still.
