Did you know that Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD), is one of the most common liver disorders in the world? In the United States, it's estimated that up to 100 million people are affected by this condition. Globally, it's becoming a leading cause of chronic liver disease and can lead to severe complications, including cirrhosis and liver cancer. Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver Disease ranks as a significant contributor to liver-related mortality.
Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver Disease occurs when too much fat builds up in liver cells, not due to alcohol consumption. It's largely preventable and manageable with the right lifestyle choices. Risk factors for Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver Disease include obesity, type 2 diabetes, high cholesterol, and metabolic syndrome. Other contributing factors are poor dietary habits, lack of physical activity, and certain genetic predispositions.
Here are two simple lifestyle changes you can make to lower your risk of Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver Disease:
Adopt a Healthy Diet: Focus on eating a balanced diet rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and lean proteins. Avoid sugary foods, beverages, and highly processed foods.
Increase Physical Activity: Aim for at least 150 minutes of moderate exercise each week, such as brisk walking, cycling, or swimming.
Early detection is crucial for preventing Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver Disease from progressing. Regular liver function tests and imaging studies like ultrasounds can help catch the disease early, enabling timely intervention.
