The doctor named a way to protect the liver from obesity

Doctor of Medical Sciences, Professor Mikhail Koryakin on Friday, June 19, told how to protect the liver from obesity with the help of simple foods.

In conversation with aif.ru The doctor noted that liver obesity remains one of the most common problems in overweight people. A certain type of dietary fiber, xylooligosaccharides (XBS), may become a promising way to prevent and treat the disease. The specialist explained that it is an indigestible fiber that serves as a breeding ground for beneficial intestinal bacteria.

During the study, the volunteers took a small dose of CBS daily for four months. The results showed that the supplement helps to reduce the amount of harmful metabolites that are formed in the intestine and can accumulate in the liver, provoking fatty liver disease.

According to the expert, the most pronounced effect was observed in people with a certain composition of intestinal microflora. These participants managed to achieve a reduction in liver fat and a reduction in visceral fat.

Koryakin noted that the results of the study confirm the importance of a personalized approach to nutrition and treatment. At the same time, he recalled that healthy dietary fiber can be obtained not only from special additives, but also from vegetables, fruits, greens and whole grains.
