Hepatic steatosis represents a global health problem for which therapeutic resources are limited. Intermittent fasting refers to a dietary pattern involving periods of fasting and restricted meals. The impact of intermittent fasting on hepatic steatosis can vary from person to person, and depends on many factors, including the severity of hepatic steatosis, age, gender and general state of health.Some preliminary studies suggest that intermittent fasting may have potential benefits for hepatic steatosis, including reducing fat accumulation in the liver and improving insulin sensitivity.
