It is of no surprise that
alcohol consumption builds up fat in the liver. However, fatty tissues
can also build up inside the lever of people who drink negligible to none.
Building up of fats in the liver not only damages the organ but can lead to
serious complications. This and a range of liver conditions lie under the
umbrella of Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD).
NAFLD is increasingly
common in people of all age groups in every corner of the world.
SYMPTOMS
Apparently, there are no obvious symptoms of NAFLD but, when signs
are present--they mostly include:
- Abdominal
pain ( upper right side)
- Liver
gets enlarged
- Fatigue
- Swollen
belly
CAUSES
The absolute causes of NAFLD are still blurred. Experts reveal
that there is a connection between the resistance of insulin hormone & NAFLD.
When our muscles & tissues require glucose to get the energy, insulin
basically helps cells to absorb glucose from the blood. This hormone also helps
lever to store excess glucose. When our body gets insulin resistance, our cells
do not respond to the insulin hormone in the right way. Thus layers of fat make
room in the liver which can lead to liver scarring. Remember, the more scarred
your liver would be, the less proper would it be functioning.
PREVENTION
To lessen the threat of NAFLD, you should consider adopting the
following habits:
- Increase
your physical activity.
- Get
your liver checked by the doctor at least thrice a year.
- Adopt
a healthy diet & lifestyle and increase your plant-based food,
especially whole grains & healthy fats.
- Maintain
a healthy weight especially if you are overweight or obese.
