Fatty liver disease often occurs from an excess accumulation of fat inside the individual cells of the liver. As a result, the normally healthy liver tissue is partially replaced with unhealthy, fatty tissue that can eventually begin to overtake the entire liver itself. As time moves forward, the build-up of fatty tissue wreaks havoc on the entire digestive system while increasing the risks for a wide variety of other possible medical issues in the future.
Luckily, fatty liver disease is completely reversible. Here are five simple ways that can help.
- Watch the carbs. Avoid eating sugary snacks or foods high in white flour. Some examples include pastas, breads, cereals, potatoes, and of course, cakes and cookies.
- Avoid alcohol. Cutting back on the alcohol, including wine and beer, is a great way to reverse the effects of fatty liver disease. Excessive drinking of alcohol is the second, most significant factor that causes this disorder.
- Drink more vegetable juice. While fruit juices are high in carbohydrates, a tasty blend of vegetable juices is a much healthier alternative while also being high in the vitamins and minerals needed to fight fatty liver disease.
- Try a liver tonic. A liver tonic made with a combination of Vitamin B’s, antioxidants, St. Mary’s thistle, and amino acids high in sulfur promote the repair of unhealthy liver cells rather dramatically. The liver tonic also burns excess fat and has wonderful detoxification properties, as well.
Fatty liver disease is now the leading liver disorder in the United States, the United Kingdom, and Australia with nearly 20% of the public falling victim to the disease. This medical condition can easily lead to obesity, type 2 diabetes, and insulin resistance in the human body. In more severe cases, a fatty liver can even lead to cirrhosis of the liver or complete liver failure if left untreated.
