Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is one of the most common causes of liver disease in the United States. It’s a condition in which excess fat is stored in the liver.
NAFLD is more in people who are living with certain conditions like obesity and type 2 diabetes - and unlike alcohol-related liver disease, NAFLD is not caused by heavy alcohol use.
The two types of NAFLD are:
Nonalcoholic fatty liver (NAFL), where fat collects in the liver without inflammation, though enlargement of the liver may lead to pain
Nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) is accompanied by inflammation and can lead to cirrhosis and liver failure if left untreated.
In a healthy body, the liver removes toxins and produces bile, a greenish-yellow fluid that breaks down fat into fatty acids so that they can be digested.
Fatty liver disease damages the liver and prevents it from working as well as it should, but lifestyle changes can prevent it from getting worse.
The first line of treatment for overweight or obese individuals with NAFLD is gradual weight loss through a combination of calorie reduction, exercise, and healthy eating. French fries and burgers are a poor choice to keep your liver healthy. Eat too many foods that are high in saturated fat and it can make it harder for your liver to do its job. Over time it may lead to inflammation, which in turn could cause scarring of the liver that's known as cirrhosis. So next time you're in the drive-thru line, think about ordering a healthier option.
In general, the diet for fatty liver disease includes:
significantly reducing your intake of certain foods and beverages, including those high in added sugar, salt, refined carbohydrates, and saturated fat
high fiber plants like legumes and whole grains
fruits and vegetables
