Treatment for Fatty Liver Disease without Alcohol

Previously I shared with you about the alcoholic fatty liver disease where the patient consumes more than 30 ml of alcohol per day. However the dynamics of the disease are also seen without any consumption of alcohol but have similar role as alcohol would have on the liver and that is an erratic lifestyle. Non alcoholic fatty liver disease is mostly observed in Indian men as well as some Asian genome as per a study done in New Haven, Connecticut.
How does an erratic lifestyle cause liver to become fatty again is the mystery but it all boils down to the same old story of a healthy lifestyle and yes genetics too has a role in it. Let us discover and unravel this face of the disease today.
Causes of Non Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease:
Insulin Resistance - The mother of all harm is also the reason why non alcoholic fatty liver disease occurs. Insulin resistance is the resistance by our cells to the hormone insulin due to the excessive presence of fat and free radical damage done to the cells due to stress. This also invariably causes non genetic diabetes of adult onset wherein the insulin secreted is not able to activate due to the receptors on the cells being damaged. This affects the metabolism of carbohydrates and fat which affects the liver ultimately.

Free Radical Damage - Once you have a lifestyle thats overt and out of order be assured you will be under immense and long term stress which will evolve into a viscous cycle of free radical damage to the body one day or another. By getting a non alcoholic liver disease is the last nail in the proverbial good health coffin. Free radical damage stems from wrong food habits, substance abuse or pollution and also mental stress. This leads to a lot of stress on the one organ that is meant to remove stress like that of drugs, substances, chemicals etc and if it is under a disease you need emergency professional intervention. Free radicals are no less than a atomic chain reaction within our body it is responsible for ageing, degeneration of brain cells, heart, food pipe, prostate gland and causing diabetes.

Excessive erratic weight loss - Sometimes people do go over the top losing weight and if they are overweight losing excessive weight in too less a time can prove to be hazardous. Certain cases tend to show this liver disease.
All in all the causes have one thing in common imbalance and disturbance of metabolism of fat which leads to fatty liver disease as discussed previously.

Treatment - Nothing heals a liver more than taking away the root cause of the problem. Liver diseases are to be healed by a well calculated diet plan which should vary as per the prognosis. What is mostly forgotten is that unlike alcoholic fatty liver disease the problem here is that of overall unhealthy lifestyle which needs to be addressed first and insulin resistance needs immediate attention. erratic lifestyle habits of untimely meals, frequent high fat or high sugar or high sodium food, smoking or alcohol use everyday, any other substance abuse like drugs, lack of exercise, disturbed sleep patterns, mental stress and physical as well. Many that I know of take a very blatantly just stop eating fat, opt for boiled veggies or steamed food, and of course no salt for like a month and declare they feel better because the bile test levels are normal. Voila! there you have it no need for any professional help. How convenient to not check if the fat metabolism and carbohydrate metabolism has returned to normal, liver is detoxifying, breaking down protein well, vitamin storage and supplement is done well. Almost everything we eat has to pass the liver at some point for metabolism and compromising its health just for our convenience isn't the solution that will help. Protein and fat are the most hit metabolisms and intake of these above a certain level won't serve well for its recovery. In addition not supplying the body vitamins that are otherwise stored in the liver like A, E and D as well. Boiled food fr months isn't the real solution because the entire course of prognosis could be reversed or relapsed into the same cycle if not handled carefully. A well planned and customized diet plan with variables to suffice the current nutrition and liver healing is a must have. Whilst the liver battles out its ill health and restores on the diet consumption of potent liver cells harming drugs should be avoided, chemicals in food should be stopped, strictly home cooked food should be consumed, preservatives of any nature should be avoided in food. Once the liver reaches a stage where recommended daily allowances of all nutrients can be consumed a plan of daily routine should be charted out to ensure no relapse due to faulty lifestyle.

This should get some light into the mystery of how a liver disease of this nature be cured for good and for more help on the matter please do visit the wellness programs suited for your customized lifestyle or at consultation@wellnessandi.com
