Fatty liver disease (FLD) is a growing concern worldwide, affecting millions of people regardless of age or lifestyle. While it may sound alarming, many cases of fatty liver disease—especially non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD)—can be managed and even reversed with natural approaches. In this guide, we’ll explore what causes FLD, how to recognize its symptoms, and steps you can take to support your liver health.
What Is Fatty Liver Disease?
Fatty liver disease occurs when fat accumulates in the liver cells, leading to inflammation and potential damage over time. There are two main types:
- Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (AFLD) : Caused by excessive alcohol consumption.
- Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD) : Often linked to obesity, insulin resistance, and poor dietary habits.
While AFLD requires reducing or eliminating alcohol intake, NAFLD can often be addressed through lifestyle changes.
