What would you recommend to your patients to reduce liver fibrosis?

Pere Ginès: Changing their lifestyle. I think that changing lifestyle—which means walking more, changing the diet of the patient, and reducing the amount of carbohydrates and fat—is much more important than increasing the number of coffee drinks [see Coffee and delaying liver fibrosis].
