Thanks for the question. The ideal diet would be choosing foods that have low glycemic index such as whole grain, vegetables and fruits. Avoid the carbohydrate loading that high glycemic index such as white rice, white bread, and as previously mentioned the foods /drinks with high sugar contents. Furthermore, high calorie deep fried foods may not help. Other than choosing hte right foods, make sure you stick with good lifestyle habits - don't eat too fast, avoid late night supper, don't skip breakfast (There are research studies out there that have shown these lifestyle habits increases the risk of fatty liver )
Exercises I would recommend consistent cardio exercises about 30-45mins about 2-3 x per week. Sometimes, in the elderly or those with physical issues (knee arthritis), I would suggest regular walking or swimming.
