* Why are cases of non-alcoholic fatty liver increasing:
Health experts say that fatty liver disease is a silent killer, this disease gradually keeps on growing in the body and damages the liver completely. Health experts say that due to this disease, there is a need for liver transplants. It is a matter of concern that the cases of fatty liver are increasing continuously even in people who do not drink alcohol, it is also called non-alcoholic fatty liver in the language of science. In the last 5 years, its cases are continuously increasing.
* Why even non-drinkers are becoming victims:
Health experts say that people's liver is also affected due to wrong eating habits. For the past few years, it has been seen that the trend of eating fast food among people is increasing rapidly. A lot of things made of white flour are included in the diet, which directly works to damage the liver and later causes fatty liver.
Apart from this, health experts say that increasing obesity in the body is also a major reason for fatty liver disease. Because the more the obesity increases, the more the fat on the liver will start, where in some cases cases of fatty liver disease are also registered in diabetic patients. Many of these cases are also those who have never consumed alcohol. In 20 to 30 percent of cases, people who do not consume alcohol are also becoming victims of fatty liver.
