What is fatty liver?
The name itself tells the disease. I mean, fatty liver! How does this happen? The liver, which is amazing for nothing, finds ‘play’ in two things. One is alcohol. Another is fat. Just like the alcohol in wine weakens the strong liver and puts us in the pit of death, the main causes of fatty liver problems are the excess sugar and fatty foods we eat.
The liver is the storehouse of excess fat in the body. This is the provision given by nature to give energy to the body in case of emergency. The accumulated fat eventually becomes an enemy of the liver. If it is too much, amrita is also nanju.
Our bad eating habits are the main cause of fatty liver. Even more so, without physical exertion, without exercise, we eat all three meals to fill our stomach. As if this wasn’t enough, the occasional snack, a weekend party, a buffet dinner a month.
Especially after our diet has completely changed like red meats, fast foods, processed foods, instant foods, corn syrup, jelly, cake, chips, ice cream, artificial sweeteners, cold drinks, the problem of obesity has increased. This is how a person who has never touched alcohol in his life gets a fatty liver.
The next cause of fatty liver problem is diabetes. Since insulin is not secreted properly, the sugar in the blood cannot enter the cells. Similarly, excess fatty acids accumulate in the blood.
These are absorbed by the liver. This too is to an extent. If diabetes is controlled by then, there will be no room for fatty liver. Failure to do so will not prevent the development of ‘Grade I Fatty Liver’.
The Many Stages of Fatty Liver!
The initial stage in which all dietary fat accumulates in the liver is called ‘primary fatty liver’. Just like when women apply some cream to their face when they get a facial, the fatty deposits are only on the surface of the liver and it is ‘silent’ without causing any symptoms and in any way affecting the health. Abdominal scan for no other reason, fatty liver is incidentally discovered!
We must be vigilant at this time. The first step is to know the cause and prevent it. Otherwise, it jumps to the second stage. By now the liver will have suffered a lot of damage. Fats, which have been topical until now, penetrate into the liver, causing inflammation and swelling.
Where the liver cells used to be, fat cells take their place in heaps here and there. If the guests are sitting all over the kitchen at home, how will the cooking be done? As such, now the function of the liver will decrease and digestive disorders will occur. Stomach ache. Vomiting. For some people, you will see Kamal. And the difficulties will stop. No need to fear this either.
When does the risk begin?
The third stage of fatty liver is dangerous. In this, scars appear and shrink at the places where the liver has been inflamed so far. What would happen if the outer fibers of the ‘nut’ inside the coconut were replaced? Just imagine. That’s how the liver looks now.
This is called ‘fibrosis’. This eventually leads to a life-threatening liver disease called cirrhosis. But the consolation is that with modern technology, it is possible to save lives by doing ‘Liver transplantation’ for this disease.
What tests are available?
Enzyme tests are available to accurately determine the damage done to the liver by fat. Abdominal ultrasound scan, CT Scan or MRI A scan can also help.
Liver biopsy also helps. A modern test called ‘Fibroscan’ is now available for those who are afraid of biopsy. By this, the first two stages of fatty liver can be predicted and lifestyle changes, vitamin-E mixed antioxidants, dietary changes etc. can be used to overcome fatty liver.
What to do?
* Alcohol should be forgotten.
* Maintain body weight.
* Fatty foods such as red meats, fast foods, processed foods, and instant foods should be reduced.
* Mainly, cheese and butter need attention.
* Junk food should be kept aside. No maida food either.
* Reduce sweets.
* Let there be salt in the food.
* Reduce white rice foods and increase whole grain foods and small grain foods.
* Greens, fruits, vegetables should be taken as required. Fruits and vegetables rich in flavonoids are more beneficial. For that, we need to give importance to chickpeas. 3 cups of vegetables are required daily.
* Red, orange, dark green and yellow colored berries and fruits are best.
* It is better to reduce the use of oil.
* Include plant proteins. Example; Pulses and pulses, sprouted grains.
* It is better to include fish foods rich in Omega 3 fatty acids.
* Daily exercise is essential. Walking is very good. Cycling and swimming are equally beneficial.
* No stress.
* 6-8 hours of night sleep is required..
* If all this is correct, there is no place for fatty liver in our body; No treatment is required.
More Explanations for ‘Life Saving Vital Aid’!
* For all ages, if there is only one first aider, give 30 compressions and give artificial respiration twice.
* If there are two people to give first aid, children should be given 15 CPRs and artificial respiration twice. One of the first aiders administers artificial respiration and the other administers CPR
* Heart pressure should be given at a rate of 100 to 120 beats per minute.
