Oily food, excess sugar and alcohol - these factors often cause the development of liver fat. It is one of the most common ailments of a modern lifestyle that often has no pronounced symptoms, but can lead to serious complications - inflammation, cirrhosis and even cancer. Fortunately, experts say that this disease is reversible. The main thing is to change the food on time.
Fatty liver disease usually does not make itself known. In many patients, the only symptoms are constant fatigue, lethargy or pressure in the right hypochondrium. The main causes are the wrong diet, overweight and sedentary lifestyle.
The Munich nutritionist Doris Kurtz advises the victims first and foremost slowly and gradually to normalize the weight. It is important to avoid radical diets and starvation - this will only worsen the liver. Fatty liver is treated if you change life and nutrition.
