FATTY LIVER ....Trish let's WALK to Vegas!
Thought anyone with FATTY LIVER (NAFLD) not just Trish n me (gallbladder issues)
might find this article interesting!
low impact ...ae/anae-robic exercise such as swimming; aquacise is good too ;-)
Fat: no matter where it is...... BURN BABY BURN!!

The small study, presented at Experimental Biology's annual meeting this week in Washington, D.C., followed 15 obese people who had nonalcoholic fatty liver disease as they walked on a treadmill at a fairly high intensity (85% of their maximum heart rate) for one hour a day for a week. Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease is a chronic condition that involves the buildup of fat in the liver, but is not linked to drinking heavily. In serious cases the damage caused to the liver may result in liver failure or cirrhosis of the liver.
At the beginning and end of the study researchers measured the participants' respiration, body composition, insulin sensitivity, polyunsaturated lipid index (considered a gauge of liver health) and plasma glucose and adiponectin levels. Adiponectin is a protein hormone made in fat cells that helps increase insulin sensitivity, regulates some metabolic functions and can work to reduce inflammation.
After seven days the study subjects had increased their polysaturated lipid index by an average 84%, bumped up their adiponectin levels and had better insulin sensitivity.
"After exercise," said lead author Jacob Haus of the Cleveland Clinic in a news release, "the participants were burning more fat," which may in turn reduce damage from fatty liver disease.
TAKE CARE OF THAT LIVER!!

Walking on a treadmill is great for overall health, but it also may put the brakes on the development of fatty liver disease in obese people who are pre-diabetic, a study finds.The small study, presented at Experimental Biology's annual meeting this week in Washington, D.C., followed 15 obese people who had nonalcoholic fatty liver disease as they walked on a treadmill at a fairly high intensity (85% of their maximum heart rate) for one hour a day for a week.
