Good News for People Suffering from Fatty Liver Disease – Resistance Training Can Help
Resistance training in the gym leads to a fall in liver fat levels. This is the finding of a new study held at the University in cooperation with Tel Aviv Medical Center and Tel Aviv University. “For patients suffering from physical limitations or low motivation that prevents them performing aerobic exercises, resistance training can be an effective alternative,” comments Dr. Shira Zelber-Sagi from the School of Public Health, who undertook the study.
According to new research conducted at the University of Haifa, eating salty foods does not necessarily increase a sense of thirst. “Based on the notion that the consumption of salt increases thirst, the concern has arisen that it also leads to an increased consumption of sugary drinks. However, our study found little support for the assumption that salt invariably increases drinking,” said Prof. Micah Leshem of the Department of Psychology, who conducted the research.
