The liver is the major organ for detoxification. It detoxifies, by metabolizing toxins and/or secreting the toxins out of the body. A damaged fatty liver cannot work to do its job.
A fatty liver happens when too much fat builds up in your liver. Although it is normal to have a tiny amount of fat in these cells, the liver is considered fatty if more than 5% of it is fat. 80-100 million are thought to be affected by a fatty liver in the US.
Remember, your liver is the second largest organ in your body. It helps process nutrients from food and beverages and filters harmful substances from your blood. Too much fat in your liver can cause inflammation and create scarring, and in severe cases, this can lead to liver failure.
There are two types of fatty livers:
When most people think of liver damage they think of alcoholic fatty liver. However, there is also a non-alcoholic fatty liver. The liver can be damaged over the years in many ways – smoking, sugar-laden sodas, fried foods, processed foods, drugs, alcohol and environmental toxins.
These all tax the liver, but sugary, fried, and processed foods give the body a real problem. The excess sugar and fat cannot be utilized by the body and so is stored as fat in the body, and particularly in the liver. It is now referred to as metabolic-dysfunction associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD) – a more accurate description.
The result is a compromised liver, and the toxins that are normally filtered out can re-circulate through the body re-exposing it to harmful compounds and can trigger a toxic overload.
A Fatty liver is not just a standalone condition. Failure to address a fatty liver can result in severe health issues. Fat can leave the liver and get deposited in other organs. Your organ function could decrease over time due to this build-up, leading to increased inflammation within these areas.
Inflammation triggers an immune response, further exacerbating damage by promoting fibrosis (scarring) – a precursor to more severe conditions like cirrhosis. This liver condition may have significant implications for health. It has even been connected to post pandemic’s continuing symptoms.
This phenomenon underscores how interconnected our bodily systems truly are and why maintaining optimal hepatic health should be everyone’s priority.
