HOW IS LIVER FAT PREVENTED?

A change in the way of nutrition is especially necessary against liver fat, which is a serious disease that can lead to cirrhosis over time.

The liver, the body’s most important detox organ, strengthens immunity. It allows the removal of toxins, alcohol and drugs from the body, removing aged blood cells from the circulation. It helps digestion and absorption by synthesizing and secreting bile. It is the regulatory body of cholesterol and lipid metabolism. It is also a storage place for sugar, iron, vitamins and minerals. So, how can liver fat, which threatens such a vital organ, be prevented?

.
A DANGEROUS DISEASE

One of the most common chronic diseases in our society is liver lubrication. Drugs used with liver diseases such as alcohol consumption, obesity, diabetes, high cholesterol, Hepatitis B and C increase the risk of liver lubrication. Liver fat is the beginning of a process that will lead to cirrhosis or even liver failure.

.
THE MOST IMPORTANT REASONS

The most important cause of liver fat is unhealthy eating style. Foods and drinks made from fructose-rich corn syrup, a diet rich in processed and trans fats, and excessive caloric intake cause lubrication first in the belly area and then in the liver. In cases where excessive calorie intake is involved, carbohydrates and proteins are stored in the body as glycogen and fat. In Normal conditions, insulin acts as a hormone that stores fat. This condition is reversed when insulin resistance occurs, plenty of free fatty acids enter the body and are transported to the liver.

.
LUBRICATES DIABETES AND OBESITY

50-100 percent of patients with non-alcohol liver lubrication are obese. Again, 50 percent of patients with Type II diabetes have liver lubrication. 20-80 percent of those with non-alcohol liver fat have high cholesterol and triglycerides, low HDL (good cholesterol). The vast majority of people with liver fat have insulin resistance.

.
HERE ARE THE WAYS TO PROTECT

■ Drinking alcohol

■ Play sports

■ Lose weight

■ Feed with fiber-rich vegetables and fruits. Especially eat artichokes (it has hepatitis protective silimarin, it also has fiber, magnesium, folate and vitamin C) eat vegetables rich in oligofructose (such as chicory, onions, garlic, artichokes, asparagus)
