Changes in our lifestyle are giving rise to many diseases. In today's routine, we are including those things, which are harmful to us. Habits like less sleep, eating outside, eating more spicy food, taking alcohol or smoking, and stress are making us victims of many diseases. If chronic diseases are not controlled then liver-related diseases can also surround you. There are three types of liver-related diseases – fatty liver, inflammation of the liver (NASH), and cirrhosis. In fatty liver, when fat starts accumulating in the liver, then digestive problems and other diseases start taking birth in the body. Dr. Saurabh Argal, Consultant, Hepatology, Kokilaben Dhirubhai Ambani Hospital, Indore, is giving some special advice in this regard. Let's know-
Diabetes patients should keep these things in mind
Nowadays, the disease of diabetes is being seen in many young people from the elderly, which can give rise to many more problems in our bodies. Those whose sugar level remains high, are more at risk of fatty liver or inflammation of the liver (NASH). High blood sugar level and high level of fat in the blood causes fatty liver.
Patients with high blood pressure should also be careful
Due to high blood pressure, there is extra pressure on the liver, which can lead to fatty liver problems. Not only this but if the patient's checkup is not done in time, then the risk of cirrhosis increases. Those who have unbalanced high blood pressure for a long time, then they must get the fatty liver test done on time.
Obesity is the biggest cause of fatty liver
Obesity has become a common problem nowadays because many people are mostly fond of eating junk food and fatty things, which they make a habit of. It is natural to increase obesity. When fat in the body increases in obesity, fat starts accumulating in the liver and this causes the problem of fatty liver. It is necessary to keep the weight according to your body because obesity itself causes many diseases.
Take care of your cholesterol level too
If you are fond of eating more oily things then it can increase the cholesterol in your body. High cholesterol also creates many problems in the body. High cholesterol means an increase in bad cholesterol. Due to the excess amount of LDL in the body, cholesterol can accumulate in the arteries and narrow them, due to which the supply of blood and oxygen to the organs is obstructed. Most of the cholesterol produced in the body is produced by the liver. This is the reason why it is very important to control cholesterol. To reduce cholesterol, take fewer oil things and avoid consuming more spicy food.
Smokers and alcohol drinkers also pay attention
The habit of smoking and taking alcohol is most dangerous for our body, this habit can also increase the problem of fatty liver, which is called alcoholic fatty liver. Excessive consumption of alcohol can cause liver tissue damage, which can cause blood in the stool and stop the normal functions of the liver. This causes swelling in the liver.
Important things to keep in mind
The initial symptoms of fatty liver are not understood, so if you are a victim of any disease like obesity, diabetes, high blood pressure, and high cholesterol, then you must also get your liver-related checkup done from time to time so that you can avoid any major problems. All these diseases related to the liver can be controlled with medicine. But this disease cannot be cured completely.
