Did you know that exercise works in managing non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD)? Several studies have shown physical exercise has a beneficial effect on NAFLD by significantly reducing fat accumulation in the liver.
Our liver is known to be the largest solid organ in the body. It is central to a set of vital processes in the body including regulation, digestion, blood clotting and energy production. It also detoxifies the body by removing toxins from the bloodstream. With so many functions of the liver, it is quite important to keep our livers healthy.
A healthy liver should contain little or no fat but due to poor diet and lifestyle, fat accumulation happens leading to obesity -- the most common risk factor of fatty infiltration of the liver.

The musculoskeletal system or simplified as bones and joints is one of the cornerstones of our civilization. Unlike other animals, humanity developed unique set of hands to craft tools and posture to consume less energy in performing tasks. Having bones and joints that can accommodate the ingenuity of human mind, we progressed from hunter-gatherers into a society that is conducive to technological advancements.
In this modern age where arthritis, back pain, osteoporosis and similar musculoskeletal diseases are becoming more apparent especially among the adults and elderly, there is a need to maximally enhance the consciousness of the populace on Bone & Joint Disorders. With that, Proclamation No. 658 series 2004 was issued by then President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo declaring the 3rd Week of October of every year as “Bone and Joint (Musculo-Skeletal) Awareness Week”. The annual event aims to increase awareness, prevention and treatment of various forms of musculoskeletal diseases.
