Fatty liver, also known as hepatic steatosis, is a condition that currently affects almost a third of the US population. There are two categories, non-alcoholic fatty liver and alcoholic fatty liver diseases, so when you make poor choices when it comes to consuming unhealthy food, drinking excessive alcohol, and living a sedentary routine, you may end up having fatty liver. Left unchecked, fatty liver can cause damage to the liver and lead to serious medical conditions such as liver fibrosis or scarring, and cirrhosis, which can be fatal.
Usually, the build-up of fat in the liver greatly affects its function in the body, mainly to process nutrients and filter unnecessary substances from food that the body doesn’t need. When the liver can’t function properly, it leads to serious conditions, not only affecting the liver but as well as the rest of the body.
As of this writing, there are no FDA-approved medications for the direct treatment of fatty liver. Fortunately, and if diagnosed early, this condition is easily reversible by making changes in the patient’s diet and lifestyle. Following important changes in your diet and lifestyle will definitely help improve your health and your body.
