In the past I drank a little too much and now have completely given it up because I am afraid for my health. I recently was told that I have a fatty liver. I wonder what kinds of things I can do in addition to abstaining from alchohol and excercising more in order to make myself more healthy.

The liver is the organ of the human body with the best regenerative capacity.
If you stop injuring it (with alcohol and other drugs) it is likely to fix itself.
The rest of your health should be all encompassing, if possible.
Stop smoking.
Stay in the healthy weight range
Lower cholesterol and control other risk factors for your heart - blood pressure, diabetes ...
Choose an exercise and diet strategy that you can stick to long term, rather than one that gives you your result and then you give it up straight away.

Fatty liver disease affects a whopping 30% of the population. That's 30 out of every 100 people! And some estimates have it at 33%.
And if you're overweight, it's even worse overweight people are extremely more likely than healthy weight individuals to develop this condition.
In other words, you're not alone. Not by a long shot.
Other fatty liver sufferers have reversed their condition, lost weight, and rediscovered their energy, using completely natural remedies. And that means you can, too!

Sorry but no. If the person is a type I diabetic, they will need insulin all their life, or at least until a cure is found - exercise and diet alone will not help it. With Type II diabetes, it can be controlled with diet and exericse, but sometimes the person may have to take pills or even insulin. A cure for diabetes has not been found, but is hopefully around the corner. I hope so, mny son has had diabetes since he was 10 months (he is 7 now). Poor guy gets 4 shots a day!

Good for you for making the right choice!
But alcohol alone is not the sole cause. Foods high in fat also contribute to the liver's condition. Try giving up all fatty foods. This means fast foods (french fries, chicken nuggets etc.). donuts, deep-fried convenience/frozen foods, and foods fried at home (broil instead, or sauté in olive oil). Remove skin from chicken and visible fat from steaks and chops. Avoid margarine (it's a trans fat, even more damaging than animal fats) and use butter instead, but sparingly. Unless you have been accustomed to these foods, avoiding them is not all that difficult, and your liver - and the rest of your body - will thank you.
If you doubt any of the above, rent "Supersize Me" to see what high-fat foods will do to your liver!

I have recently been told the same thing pretty much (enlarged liver), pretty much for the same reason. My Dr. said if I would drinnk LOTS of water, over time, it would heal itself. I don't care for water, so I buy Crystal Lite, it helps you get the water you need w/ flavor. Good Luck

If you possibly could prevent 500 calories daily you are able to drop some sort of single pound weekly.

Bake a healthy breakfast in advance to ensure you don't grab a sugary scone busy.
