Introduction.
It is quite common these days to hear people complain of fatty liver disease though they do not indulge in common habits that cause fatty liver such as drinking alcohol. I have personally been through fatty liver in the years of ignorance. However, its over a decade, I never experienced such symptoms nor even gone for check. The reason obviously is because, the common causes are known now to me, understood some habits and food choices including preparation methods that increase the risk of fatty liver.
Common causes of fatty liver are,
1. Frying, whether with good or bad oil, frying remains one of the worst methods of food preparation, because it clogs arteries and contributes to fatty liver.
2. Processed Foods: Most processed foods come with transfats from vegetable oils, refined table salt and preservatives, sometimes with colourings and flavourings.
3. Alcohol: This is the most common cause of fatty liver, sometimes referred to as alcoholic fatty liver. Mostly experienced by those consuming much alcohol.
4. Too much carbohydrates: Too much carbohydrate whether processed or not does not benefit the liver, instead get stored as fat.
Other habits like inactivity can also hurt the liver. There are still several unknown causes like seen in some younger adults with sickle cell.
The good news however is that, it is reversible if you stop the cause(s) and start eating right.
These 4 tips can help remove liver fat and heal it;
1. Frying: Stop frying your foods, whether, it is chicken, potatoes or stews. It is difficult to digest such foods and the worst of it is that they clog the liver and store more fats.
2. Alcohol: Stay away from alcohol if you indulge in it.
3. Highly Processed foods: Stay away from highly processed foods like breads and biscuits. They contribute to liver fat
4. Healthy fats: Include only healthy fats like cold pressed olive oil, coconut oil and organic peanut oil. All naturally occurring fats taken in moderation are healthy and okay for the liver.
