A recent Spanish study has revealed that following a specific diet can significantly reduce the risk of developing Metabolic Dysfunction-Associated Steatotic Liver Disease (MASLD) — one of the most prevalent liver diseases.

According to the journal Nutrients, Spanish researchers investigating the causes of MASLD and the impact of dietary patterns found that certain diets — particularly the Mediterranean diet — effectively lower the risk of this condition.
In their research, scientists from Rovira i Virgili University in Spain conducted a comprehensive analysis of 13 scientific studies involving 926 participants to evaluate the effects of various diets on MASLD. The findings showed that the Mediterranean diet, which emphasizes vegetables, fish, whole grains, and olive oil, achieved the best results in reducing the risk of fat accumulation in the liver.
The study also demonstrated that the Mediterranean diet helps to:
Lower markers of MASLD
Improve blood sugar control
Reduce inflammation triggers in the body
Researchers also observed a positive effect of intermittent fasting on patient outcomes. However, they emphasized the need for long-term studies to confirm the sustainability of these benefits on liver function and to identify optimal dietary protocols.
The research team stressed that MASLD is influenced by multiple risk factors, with nutrition playing a central role. Their findings offer hope for developing effective dietary strategies to prevent liver diseases associated with obesity.
