Adequate intake of foods rich in insoluble fiber may help hinder the development of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) in men.
This study investigated the correlation between dietary ingestion of insoluble fiber and a man's propensity to develop non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). Researchers tracked the eating habits of 4,426 patients with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease and 19,103 men without the disease.
Researchers found a low incidence of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease among men who ate the most amount of insoluble fiber-containing foods. This study concluded that increased intake of foods loaded with insoluble fiber may improve a man's odds of keeping non-alcoholic fatty liver disease at bay.
