“Breastfeeding may reduce fatty deposits around the heart and other organs. The benefits of breastfeeding on infant health are widely known, but breastfeeding benefits maternal health, too.”

“They found that the mice that ate the high-fat, high-sugar diet were heavier and had higher blood glucose and insulin levels during pregnancy than the mice that ate the normal diet. They also had fatty livers and showed signs of changes in their pancreatic tissues.”

“Vitamin D is a fat-soluble vitamin stored in the liver and fatty tissues. It plays key roles in several physiological processes. Research suggests that vitamin D exerts anti-cancer properties through its effects on the regulation of cell growth.”

“HIIT promotes mitochondrial biogenesis, contributing to the body's increased capacity for fat oxidation during exercise. A critical player in this process is carnitine palmitoyl transferase (CPT), an enzyme responsible for transporting fatty acids into the mitochondria for oxidation.”

“One such adaptation enabled humans to modify nutrient oxidation in response to changes in nutrient availability – chiefly, the ability to switch from metabolizing glucose as a primary fuel to metabolizing fatty acids.”

“Alcohol consumption is associated with a higher risk for oropharyngeal, laryngeal, esophageal, liver, colon, rectal, and breast cancer. Importantly, risk increases in a dose-response fashion, and there’s no apparent evidence of a threshold effect.”

“Interestingly, women were more likely than men to develop Alzheimer's disease, but taking vitamin D countered this effect. Vitamin D is a fat-soluble vitamin that is stored in the liver and fatty tissues of the body.”

“Vitamin K2 molecules are synthesized by the gut microbiota and found in fermented foods and some animal products (especially liver). These findings suggest that vitamin K2 participates in maintaining glycemic control in people with type 2 diabetes.”

“They found that the mice that received the local hyperthermia treatment were thinner, had better insulin sensitivity, and had fewer fat deposits in their livers than the mice that didn't receive local hyperthermia.”

“The average person living in the United States consumes more than 500 calories per day in sugars, translating to roughly 100 pounds of sugar per year. High sugar consumption is associated with an increased risk for obesity, type 2 diabetes, and fatty liver disease.”
