ClinConnect Summary
This clinical trial is looking at how lifestyle changes, particularly the addition of honey to the diet, can affect people with nonalcoholic fatty liver disease. Fatty liver is a condition where fat builds up in the liver, which can lead to health problems. Researchers want to see if honey, known for its health benefits, can help improve this condition in people who are obese.
To participate in the trial, individuals must have nonalcoholic fatty liver disease and be classified as obese, meaning they have a higher than normal amount of body fat. Both men and women aged between 18 and 26 years are eligible to join. Participants will be asked to make some lifestyle changes, including consuming honey, and will likely be monitored for how these changes impact their liver health. It's important to note that people with serious heart, lung, kidney, or leg issues cannot take part in this study. This trial could provide valuable insights into managing fatty liver disease through diet and lifestyle.
