The real reason is not just fat.
Fatty liver is becoming a worrying health problem globally as the number of cases increases rapidly but is difficult to recognize early. Many people still mistakenly believe that only eating a lot of fat causes disease, while the main cause is prolonged calorie excess and metabolic disorders.
According to international studies, consuming too many processed foods, sugary drinks and large portions causes the liver to accumulate fat in the form of triglycerides. This condition is often accompanied by obesity, diabetes and high blood pressure.
Dr. Saurabh Bansal - gastroenterology specialist at Apollo Spectra Hospital and the National Institute of Cardiology, New Delhi (India) said: "Patients may not have obvious symptoms but fat still accumulates in the liver, increasing the risk of cirrhosis and liver cancer if left uncontrolled.
Change lifestyle to protect liver sustainably
Experts emphasize that it is not necessary to completely eliminate fat but to choose healthy fats from fish, nuts and vegetable oils, while maintaining a balanced diet.
In addition, regular exercise, weight control and alcohol reduction are key factors to help reduce the risk of fatty liver. Reality shows that just losing 5 - 7% of weight can significantly improve the condition.
Regular health check-ups, especially blood sugar and cholesterol, also help detect and prevent dangerous complications early. A healthy liver depends on scientific daily living habits, rather than extreme abstinence.
