NON-ALCOHOLIC FATTY LIVER DISEASE.
Non alcoholic fatty liver disease simply means accumulation of excess fat in the liver. Liver disease can silently develop and become a serious health concern with time if left untreated.

Showing no apparent symptoms at times, the liver damage can eventually progress into liver cirrhosis, liver cancer or liver failure. Fat deposits in or around the liver can lead to swelling in the crucial organ and hardening of the cells. This can leave the tissues scarred and can lead to liver dysfunction.

This type of liver disease is commonly seen in patients who do not consume alcohol and the main characteristic of this condition is the accumulation of fat in the patient’s liver. Since a normal, healthy liver does not have any fat in it, this condition poses a unique problem for the patient, who does not indulge in drinking alcohol.

CAUSES
Diabetes
Hypertension
Obesity
Virus
Autoimmune disease
High cholesterol
High triglycerides
Hypothyroidism(low production of the thyroid hormones).

Moreover, a rapidly changing lifestyle, lack of exercise, stress, long working hours, eating unhealthy, fatty or frozen foods are considerably increasing the amount of fat we consume.

Even among children, there’s a marked increase in use of computers, phones, tablets, etc. instead of playing outside like earlier. This is causing unhealthy weight gain in children. All the aforementioned factors put together results in a higher risk of developing non-alcoholic fatty liver disease.

REMEMBER PREVENTION IS ALWAYS LESS COSTLY AND BETTER THAN CURE
