How Can You Treat A Fatty Liver?

Hepatic steatosis, more commonly known as fatty liver and sometimes referred to as  fatty liver , is a reversible condition that can disappear with a few simple changes in daily life. Fatty liver does not have to be serious if treated in time. Learn how to treat liver steatosis naturally in this article.

Properties of a fatty liver

Fatty liver occurs in people whose liver consists of 5 to 10% of fat. The majority of these people are over 50 years old or have diabetes. However, many of the people who have a fatty liver will have no significant complications. The disease is divided into two classes: alcoholic fatty liver disease and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease.

Alcoholic fatty liver

This is caused by excessive alcohol consumption. It is the first stage of a liver disease such as liver cirrhosis.

When the liver is weakened, it will no longer be able to break down fats and will start to store them. When the patient stops drinking alcohol, the condition will disappear automatically (after 6 to 8 weeks if alcohol intake is stopped altogether). There is no doubt that if the patient continues to drink, very serious and potentially life-threatening consequences will arise.

Non-alcoholic fatty liver ting

Although this is also one of the first stages of liver cirrhosis, this form is not caused by alcohol abuse.

The condition will prevent the organ from performing its function in a normal way. Possible causes that can trigger this are:

• obesity
• type II diabetes
• high cholesterol
• metabolic syndrome known as syndrome X
• high triglyceride levels
• lose a lot of weight too fast

Something that makes fatty liver so different is that there are no specific noticeable or characteristic symptoms. As a result, it is easily confused with other conditions. When the disease reaches a further stage, more symptoms will become visible. For example, think of:

• Fear at night
• Fibromyalgia
• Fat in the belly
• High concentrations of uric acid, cholesterol and triglycerides
• hair loss

• Acne
• Warts on the neck and under the armpits
• Sleep apnea (snoring)
• fatigue
• Loss of appetite
• Weight Loss Problems
• Nausea
• Difficulty concentrating
