Fatty liver disease occurs when too much fat builds up inside the liver, commonly in people who are overweight, diabetic, inactive, or have high cholesterol or triglycerides. Many patients have no symptoms and only find out through blood tests or an ultrasound scan. If untreated, fatty liver can lead to liver inflammation, scarring, cirrhosis, liver failure, and rarely liver cancer. It is also linked to heart disease and diabetes. The best treatment is steady weight loss, healthy eating, regular exercise, reducing sugary and fatty foods, avoiding alcohol, and controlling diabetes, blood pressure, and cholesterol. There is no proven natural medicine that cures fatty liver, but a healthy diet, vegetables, fibre, water, and avoiding harmful herbal “detox” products can help protect the liver.
