A member asked:

I just found out my liver is a little enlarged, should i be worried?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Balanced diet: Why the liver is enlarged is more important to know, most likely it is due to fatty liver. If you consume alcohol, cut it out. If you are overweight, lose weight to bring your bmi to below 25. In general consume a balanced diet rich in fresh vegetables and fruits and low in fats.
