How we get fatty liver |Namita Piparaiya skits |

Excess of anything even glucose can cause fatty liver (NAFLD)
.
But fructose is particularly troublesome for multiple reasons. The key is that it promotes overeating as it is largely found in highly processed foods, particularly sweetened beverages. Overconsumption is a challenge, but it’s EVEN BIGGER when fructose gets added as it makes foods super tasty.
.
Since fructose is largely processed in the liver it leads to faster fat accumulation. The gut tries to protect the liver from fructose but eventually fails when too much of it is consumed and ends up with an imbalance in gut bacteria.
.
And since the liver plays such an important role in managing blood sugar levels (efficiently storing and releasing glucose as per the body’s needs)- once we get NAFLD (or MAFLD) the liver doesn’t regulate sugar as smartly and increases the risk of T2 Diabetes.
.
As per one study - people who have NAFLD tend to consume twice as many sugar-sweetened beverages as people with a healthy liver. So - moderation can truly be the answer. Simply reducing our consumption can go a long way.
