India Diet Plan (Non Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease)

It remains established without any doubt that diet is central to maintaining the well-being of the human body. A healthy and nutritious diet is one that has the right proportion of carbohydrates, proteins, and fats (the macronutrients), and vitamins and minerals (the micronutrients).
