Weight training and health: Research shows that moderate weight training can increase the body's metabolic rate, improve insulin sensitivity, and help with weight control. Weight training is considered an effective way to increase muscle mass and reduce fat accumulation. Symptoms and risks of fatty liver: NAFLD is a liver disease associated with obesity and metabolic syndrome that is characterized by the abnormal accumulation of fat in liver cells. Lack of exercise and unhealthy eating habits are among the risk factors for the development of NAFLD. Effects of weight training: Research suggests that regular weight training may help reduce the risk of NAFLD and improve liver health. Weight training can improve the use of glucose by muscles in the body and help prevent excessive accumulation of fat in liver cells. Links to SDGs: SDG 3: Health and well-being - Help prevent and control chronic diseases such as fatty liver disease by promoting healthy lifestyles, including weight training. SDG 2: Zero Hunger - Promote balanced nutrition and reduce obesity and related health problems through healthy diet and exercise.
