Interventions targeting the gut-liver axis: A potential treatment strategy for metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease
Your gut bacteria play a crucial role in liver health. When harmful bacteria build up in your gut, they can trigger liver inflammation and fat accumulation, leading to fatty liver disease. Researchers found that simple lifestyle changes like intermittent fasting, eating certain foods that feed good bacteria, and maintaining a healthy diet can restore healthy gut bacteria, strengthen your intestinal barrier, and reduce liver disease. This gut-focused approach could offer new ways to prevent and treat fatty liver disease beyond current treatments.
