Fatty liver affects heart health. Dr. Cyriac AB Phillips has told such easy fitness tests, after doing which the liver will never become fatty.

Fatty liver is not just a liver problem, it affects overall heart health and metabolic health. Actually, liver damage is like a red signal for heart health and metabolic health.
