Do You Have Fatty Liver Disease and not Know It?

As many as 20% of the adult population and 6 million children are estimated to have NAFLD or non-alcoholic fatty liver disease.  Obesity and poor diet are believed to be the primary cause of this problem.
This disease can lead to much more serious problems such as cirrhosis, liver failure, liver cancer and even heart problems.

NAFLD is an excessive deposit of fat and scarring in the lobes of the liver.  This leads to further inflammation within the liver and, eventually, other systems in the body.  Inflammatory changes, we remember, are the basis of imbalances and disease.  And, since the liver is the primary center of detoxification in our bodies, this most important function is compromised.

How does one recognize fatty liver disease?  That can be much more difficult than you might think because the symptoms associated with this problem can be associated with many other different conditions: fatigue, weakness, nausea, loss of appetite, trouble concentrating, abdominal pain and even susceptibility to sickness. You may never be diagnosed with this problem but for blood work indicating changes in liver enzymes.

The best thing one can do is to prevent this disease from happening.  The best way to do this is by eating an organic, well balanced diet.  I have blogged the specifics of this in the past few months.  Health really does boil down to what we eat, drink and what and who we surround ourselves with.
