Fatty liver is becoming an increasing cause of concern as we continue to lead an increasingly inactive lifestyle and eat comfort foods in between meals. You need some fat for this, but more than 5% of your fat weight can be fatal. About 40% of Indians have non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, but most people are unaware of it because there are no symptoms in the early stages. Continuing unhealthy habits can worsen liver health and lead to life-threatening health conditions such as cirrhosis of the liver.

“Fatty liver is completely reversible for a long period of time. Only when the damage turns into actual physical scarring and cirrhosis does the damage become irreversible. Currently, nearly 40% of Indians have some form of non-reversibility. We’re in the stage of alcoholic fatty liver, and the main reason why we’re getting so many numbers is really simple, this is our lifestyle, we’re eating more than ever, food is ever. We spend most of the day sedentary, our sleep schedules are out of sync with our circadian rhythms, and we’re introducing more toxins through pollution, chemical-laden body products, and food additives. All of this, combined with the rising prevalence of insulin resistance, type 2 diabetes, obesity and dyslipidemia, are causing this alarming rise in fatty liver disease,” says Khushboo Jain Tibrewala. .
