INTRODUCTION

By default, a healthy liver gets rid of harmful substances from the blood, processes everything we eat and drink and is the second largest organ in the body. Fat becomes excess in the liver when more than 5-10% of the liver's weight is made up of fat. Fatty Liver (Hepatic Steatosis) is the presence of excess lipids (fat) in or between the liver cells just as the name suggests. This is a chronic continuous condition that weakens the liver and hinders the liver from functioning to keep you healthy, according to the original design. The buildup of excess fat in the liver compromises the liver's function - having some fat in your liver is very normal, but excess fat becomes a health trouble. The liver has the ability to repair itself, and build newer cells when the old ones are destroyed. The liver can be permanently scarred, when the liver takes repeated damage - this is a state of cirrhosis (scarring of the liver).

Fatty liver is very common and it affects up to 10-20% of the American populace without inflammation or cirrhosis (scarring of the liver). In most cases, fatty liver does not create irreversible harm unless it progresses, it is a condition that can be undone and corrected with basic lifestyle changes. Fatty liver can become dangerous to the liver if the primary cause of the fatty liver isn't discovered and corrected.

Types Of Fatty Liver

The primary fatty liver types are two: alcohol connected and non alcohol connected.

Alcohol Related

When a person consumes alcohol in excess, the liver is damaged and the metabolism of fat in the liver is compromised and becomes difficult. This can be corrected by alcohol abstinence. The fatty liver should naturally subside within 1 month and 2 weeks of alcohol abstinence. If the person keeps drinking alcohol excessively, cirrhosis (scarring of the liver) may grow. 

Non-Alcoholic Related

This type of fatty liver is developed when the liver has a buildup of liver tissue from having difficulty breaking down fats. It is diagnosed when the liver contains over 10% fat and the cause does not relate to alcohol.

Causes Of Fatty Liver

Heavy drinking and alcoholism is the major cause of fatty liver. In many cases, fatty liver also occurs in people who drink little or no alcohol and doctors are still yet to find out the causes.

When the body produces excess fat or cannot break down fat rapidly, it is known as the development of fatty liver. This surplus fat accumulates in the liver cells and over time fatty liver disease is formed. Eating meals that are high in sugar and fat are not necessarily a direct cause of fatty liver, but it can add to the risk of fatty liver. There are various causes of fatty liver besides alcoholism such as:

Side effects of some drugs, which include tetracyline (Panmycin), tamoxifen (Nolvadex), steroids, and aspirin

Fast weight loss

Genetic inheritance

Diabetes

High blood fat levels or hyperlipidemia

Obesity

Symptoms Of Fatty Liver

At the early stages, fatty liver has no connected symptoms. A person may have a slightly enlarged liver detected via a physical medical exam; the person may experience indistinguishable abdominal distress or fatigue. Nevertheless, too much fat in the liver can lead to inflammation which has obvious associated symptoms such as:

Confusion

Exhaustion

Physical weakness

Abdominal pain

Loss of weight, and

Lack of appetite.

Fatty liver can also progress to liver failure and cirrhosis with associated symptoms such as:

A propensity to bleed easily

Confusion

Yellow eyes and skin jaundice

Fluid filled and enlarging abdomen

Fatty Liver Reversal

The fatty liver is a condition that can be reversed and prevented. The risk of fatty liver can also be reduced drastically by leading a healthy and controlled lifestyle. Some of this lifestyle changes includes:

Medical Treatments

Most times, fatty liver is often connected to diabetes. Early research proposes that some medications meant for diabetic patients might be able to correct fatty liver such as: pioglitazone and rosiglitazone (these two medications energizes the cells to become responsive to insulin produced by your body) and metformin (oral drug that controls blood sugar levels). As a result, blood sugar is drastically lowered and less insulin is produced by the body. Another good medication for the treatment of fatty liver is orlistat, a medication often used for weight loss. This medication stops the assimilation of fat from food, consequently making lesser fat available for absorption by the body and the liver.

Regular scheduled visits to your doctor are also very necessary once you discover you have fatty liver. It is important to be under the care and supervision of a doctor who is a specialist in liver care. The doctor will help to sort out the best appropriate medical treatments for you and the lifestyle that will best suit you. There are related health conditions that need to be checked and treated. If you have been diagnosed with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, it becomes imperative to check for other health problems that relates to the quantity of fat stored in your body and your insulin levels. Check with your doctor to see if you are at risk of any fat liver related diseases such as high cholesterol, hypertension and diabetes.

It is also important to know that your liver is a filter and needless use of medication should be avoided. Some medications can cause liver damage or weakness and keeping away from the use of such medications will positively affect, control or reverse fatty liver disease. Some of the medications that can affect the liver negatively include anti-tuberculosis medications, anti-epileptic medications, anti-psychotic medications, anti-neoplastic agents, sex hormone treatments, contraceptive drugs, hypoglycemic agents, cardiovascular drugs, gastrointestinal drugs, antibiotics, analgesic drugs (ibuprofen, acetaminophen, and aspirin).

Daily Life & Diet

Your lifestyle and what you can eat can greatly influence and correct fatty liver disease.

Lose That Weight

Losing weight progressively can help reverse fatty liver disease in individuals that are obese or overweight and help undo some of the liver damage. Research suggests that when you lose up to and not less than 9% of weight progressively over many months, fatty liver effects can be reversed. A lesser weight loss (less than 9% over several months) may not undo the damage, but it will control the present fatty liver condition and any potential fat storage in the liver. Losing so much weight at a time can cause complications to your body. Project to lose weight slowly and progressively aiming for 450 to 900 g (1-2 lbs) weekly. Do not take fad diets or diet supplements for weight loss, stay bodily active and maintain a healthy diet.

Reduce The Carbs & Sugars

To reverse fatty liver disease, your insulin levels needs to be dropped. Refined carbs and sugars are natural fuels that will increase your insulin levels, since insulin is a hormone that stores fat. Another downside of simple carbs consumption is the spike in blood sugar that occurs since simple carbs are quickly digested. Foods that have high sugar contents and are high in carbs should be avoided as much as possible. Reduce your consumption of flour based snacks, pastry, cake, cereal, rice, pasta and bread. It is healthier to eat complex carbs as they are not easily digested and therefore do not cause a spike in blood sugar. 

Constant Exercises

Regular exercise helps to improve circulation and this helps your body's capacity to diffuse fats throughout your body. When you are exercising, you are compelling your body to run on carbohydrates as an energy source instead of converting the carbs to added fats. Staying bodily active helps to lose weight and sustain a healthy weight. Maintain a regular exercise schedule; it doesn't have to be rigorous. Exercise comes in different forms; you can decide to start walking 30 minutes 4-5 times weekly and gradually increase the amount of time you walk until it becomes a daily practice. You can start out gradually with running, jogging and the likes. It is important that you focus on exercises that will get your heart to pump such as: swimming, cycling, walking etc; and not building muscle and strength related exercises.

Increase The Protein

Eat more protein. Protein helps to balance your blood sugar levels, keeping it stable. Protein helps to reduce your hunger therefore helping you to reduce your meals and shed the weight. Protein has no harmful effect on your insulin and blood sugar levels. Eat more healthy protein such as low fat dairy, legumes, seeds, nuts, seafood, low fat meats, poultry and eggs.

Get More Vegetables

Vegetables can be eaten cooked or uncooked as salads, but it is important that you keep away from vinaigrettes that may contain harmful fats. Vegetables can act as fat cleanser that cleanses the liver of fat and restores the liver's ability to filter. Vegetables are filled with the right complex carbohydrates in little amounts which have little or no effect on insulin and blood sugar. It is advisable for you to drink about 3 (8-10 ounces) glasses of raw veggie juice on a weekly basis for a balanced health. The glass of raw veggie juice should contain about 95% vegetables and 5% fruits. Fruits can also act as a liver cleans but should be consumed in little quantities as it contains a high sugar dose that may contribute to high insulin levels.

Get Rid of the Alcohol

In most cases of fatty liver, alcohol is the greatest cause. Skip the alcohol (liquor and beer) and discipline yourself to cut it out of your diet totally. One of the dangers of alcohol is that it causes inflammation and severe liver cell damage, therefore leaving the liver vulnerable to the buildup of fat cells.

Eat Fats Right

Eat the right fats. Avoid eating junk foods which are loaded with unhealthy fats such as pizza and potato chips. Prepare diets that are rich with healthy fats that will nourish your body such as eggs, seeds, raw nuts, nut butters, nut oils, olive oil and seafood. Avoid the temptation of starting out on a low fat diet with the hopes of reversing fatty liver effects; make sure you eat only healthy fats.
