Things worth knowing about "Fatty liver"
Fatty liver is a disease in which excess fat accumulates in the liver cells. This accumulation can impair the normal function of the liver and lead to serious liver disease in the long term.
A fatty liver can develop either as a result of excessive alcohol consumption (alcoholic fatty liver) or without alcohol consumption (non-alcoholic fatty liver). The most common causes include an unhealthy diet, obesity, diabetes, insulin resistance and genetic factors.
In most cases, a fatty liver initially progresses without any noticeable symptoms, which is why it is often only recognised late. Common signs include general tiredness, pain in the upper abdomen and increasing fatigue. However, if left untreated, the disease can lead to serious complications such as liver cirrhosis or even liver cancer. It is therefore important to recognise a fatty liver at an early stage and take appropriate measures.
An essential part of treating and preventing a fatty liver is a balanced diet rich in certain nutrients that support liver function. Particularly helpful are omega-3 fatty acids, which are found in oily fish such as salmon and plant sources such as walnuts and chia seeds. These healthy fats have anti-inflammatory properties and help to reduce the accumulation of fat in the liver. The diet should also contain sufficient magnesium, as this mineral improves insulin sensitivity and stimulates fat metabolism. Good sources of magnesium are green leafy vegetables, nuts and wholemeal products. Vitamin E also plays an important role as it protects liver cells from oxidative stress and reduces inflammation. The best sources of vitamin E are nuts, seeds, green vegetables and vegetable oils. Another important helper is marigold thistle, whose active ingredient silymarin supports the regeneration of liver cells and can promote detoxification processes.
In addition to a nutritious diet, regular exercise is also important as it supports the breakdown of fat and relieves the liver. Weight loss is often necessary to improve liver health, especially in cases of obesity and obesity. Reducing sugar and refined carbohydrates also contributes to the prevention and treatment of fatty liver.
