What is Fatty Liver Disease

An overabundance of fat in the liver is referred to as "fatty liver." It is prevalent, especially in overweight and diabetic individuals. It may not show any symptoms, yet it might create serious health issues. The key to preventing and improving the illness is altering your lifestyle. The primary organ in the body for breaking down food and waste is the liver. When you consume excessive amounts of food or alcohol, your body converts part of the additional calories into fat. The liver cells subsequently store this fat. When the liver weighs more than 5–10% fat, it is said to be fatty. As people consume more added carbohydrates and fats, fatty liver is becoming increasingly prevalent. Fatty liver disease affects almost one in three persons in Australia.

Fatty Liver Disease Types:

Fatty liver disease causes the liver to accumulate excess fat. It is primarily categorized into two main types based on its cause:

1. Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD): A form of fatty liver disease that is unrelated to alcohol usage and is brought on by the accumulation of fat in the liver. It is mostly linked to obesity, diabetes, and metabolic disorders.

2. Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (AFLD): A form of fatty liver disease brought on by excessive alcohol use, which can cause liver damage by causing fat to build up in the liver.
