Researchers say that people who include physical exercises with a desk-bound lifestyle are less prone to non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD).

Obese individuals commonly suffer with NAFLD. It is also found that approximately 30 percent of the population has this disease. Another serious disease, known as steatohepatitis, can be seen in individuals who drink little or no alcohol which can finally lead to liver failure.

The problem caused by NAFLD can be sorted out by aerobic exercises rather than weight loss. NAFLD is a condition in which fat is created in the liver and affects 30 percent adults and most obese people.

Jacob George proved this fact by conducting a study.

The study included 19 obese adults having a physically inactive lifestyle. Their weights were measured at the beginning of the experiment and at the end of four weeks.

It was observed that the weight and the body mass index (BMI) remained the same whereas the cardio-respiratory fitness improved in case of adults who exercised when compared to those who did not.

Jacob George said "Our data provides the first direct experimental evidence that regular aerobic exercise reduces fatty liver in obesity without concurrent changes in body weight or abdominal fat."
