Many types of liver-related diseases have been a big risk to global health. The risk of fatty liver problems is being seen even in young people. Union Minister Dr Jitendra Singh said in a program that every third person in the country can have fatty liver disease. All people need to be careful about this increasing liver disease and keep taking measures for prevention.
The risk of fat accumulation in the liver has also been seen in those who do not drink alcohol. Researchers said that lifestyle and dietary irregularities can be a reason for this. Being overweight, and not keeping sugar under control is also considered a major cause of this disease.
Let us know which daily habits can make you a victim of fatty liver disease.
What are the reasons for fat formation in the liver?
Health experts say, there are many reasons which can increase the amount of fat in the liver. Eating high-calorie things can increase the risk. When our liver is unable to process and break down fatty substances normally, it can lead to fat accumulation. People suffering from some other conditions such as obesity, diabetes, or high triglycerides are also at higher risk of developing fatty liver.
Health experts say that some important lifestyle changes are necessary to avoid the problem of fatty liver.
Alcohol consumption is harmful
The habit of drinking alcohol is one of the things that is considered most harmful to the liver. Excessive alcohol consumption not only causes fatty liver problems but also poses a risk of liver failure. People suffering from fatty liver disease are advised not to consume alcohol at all.
However, even non-drinkers are at risk of fatty liver problems. Therefore, it is also necessary to improve the lifestyle.
Reduce sugar intake
Studies say that excessive sugar consumption is considered responsible for fatty liver disease, especially non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). This habit increases the blood sugar level significantly, which leads to an increase in the amount of fat in the liver. Candy, ice cream, and sweet drinks can also be harmful to your health. If you consume too much sugar, be careful.
Not being physically active is dangerous
Regular exercise is important for everyone. Lack of exercise not only increases the risk of fatty liver disease, but it can also cause the risk of many physical and mental problems.
Health experts said that being physically active not only helps in managing fatty liver but also reduces the risks in people who do not have this problem. People with NAFLD are advised to do at least 150-300 minutes of moderate aerobic exercise a week.
