It is essential to get good sleep to maintain your health
There is no point in adding apples to your diet and continuing unhealthy habits. To prevent the appearance of fat in the liver, it is necessary to combine good sleep, exercise and a balanced diet – a trinity that helps not only against this condition, but also against various diseases.
How do you eat fruit?

“In this way, you provide your body with active nutrients and a low-calorie effect – a strategic combination for those looking to support the liver with awareness and flavour,” the expert adds.
