Description

In this episode, we look back on 19 April and how to global community celebrated Food is Medicine on World Liver Day. Steatotic Liver Disease is one of the most common liver diseases in Europe and around the world. It is characterised by a buildup of fat in the liver and can put people at risk of other metabolic diseases. Meals that are nutrient-dense and varied are the best way to support your liver health and live to the fullest!

This episode is brought to you by Healthy Livers Healthy Lives. The Healthy Livers Healthy Lives Coalition’s activities are supported by Boehringer Ingelheim, Echosens, MSD, and Novo Nordisk. Our industry partners have had no input into the content of the Coalition’s activities or educational programmes.
