I have non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. Is light beer bad for my liver?

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

• Excessive alcohol, that is, more than 12 g a day, is certainly dangerous and should be strictly avoided.

• Regarding mild to moderate consumption, data is inadequate at this moment. But, recommendations are to strictly avoid all alcohol consumption because it can damage your already damaged liver cells and may progress to cirrhosis. So, you better avoid it.

• You must have been advised regarding weight loss, which is of utmost importance for the treatment of this condition. A low-calorie diet and regular exercises will help.

Hope this helps you, and get back if you have any doubts.
