Fatty liver disease — or hepatic steatosis — is one of the most common yet often silent conditions affecting millions worldwide.
At its core, it’s about fat accumulation in the liver cells, which over time can lead to inflammation, scarring, and even serious liver damage if left unchecked.
But here's the good news:
In many cases, fatty liver disease is preventable , reversible , and best managed through lifestyle changes — not just medications.
Let’s explore what fatty liver disease really means, why it matters, and how you can take control — naturally.
🧠What Is Fatty Liver Disease?
Fatty liver occurs when more than 5–10% of the liver’s weight becomes fat — a condition that can develop quietly over years.
There are two main types:
Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (AFLD) – caused by heavy alcohol use
Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD) – linked to obesity, insulin resistance, and poor diet
Both can progress to more serious forms like non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) or cirrhosis , especially if ignored.
