distinct roles. This complex organ experiences a range of problems and is prone to a
variety of diseases. Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD) is one of the most

improve non-alcoholic fatty liver conditions in the patients by lifestyle modification
techniques and will assist to maintain constant communication with the medical
professionals that affect to improve the overall productivity of the treatment process.
