class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Despite the fact that 90% of liver disorders are avoidable with healthy lifestyle modifications, the organ usually does not receive the medical care it deserves. More than one-third (38%) of Indians suffer from alcoholic\/non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, according to a recent AIIMS study that analyzed previously published research on the condition in India. According to a recent study, the condition not only affects adults but also approximately 35% of youngsters as well. Since it doesn&#8217;t show symptoms in the early stages, <strong>non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD)<\/strong> often goes unnoticed.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">NAFLD is emerging as an important cause of liver disease in India. Doctors also claim that the country is witnessing a silent epidemic. According to the recent guidelines published in the Hepatology International journal, diet and exercise are the main aspects in the treatment of NAFLD, now known as metabolic dysfunction-associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD).\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;The major cause of &#8216;fatty liver&#8217; is the recent westernization of our diets, which involves increased intake of fast food products, lack of healthy fruits and vegetables on the plate, and an unhealthy and sedentary lifestyle,&#8221; said <\/span><\/i><a href=\"https:\/\/bharathomeopathy.com\/our-doctors\/\"><b><i>Dr Kanchan<\/i><\/b><\/a><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, Head of Department, Bharat Homeopathy.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"NAFLD_And_Associated_Comorbidities\"><\/span><b>NAFLD And Associated Comorbidities<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Excess fat buildup in the liver is an early sign of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), a chronic liver condition. Patients with NAFLD tend to have associated health conditions such as obesity, type 2 diabetes mellitus, and dyslipidemia, and it is closely associated with metabolic syndrome. NAFLD has been linked to a number of non-liver comorbidities, such as sleep apnea, chronic renal disease, and cardiovascular disease, in addition to liver-related issues. Patients struggling with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease are more likely than the general population to develop cardiovascular disease, which is the leading cause of death in the population.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Patients with NAFLD are also more likely to develop chronic renal disease, and the severity of NAFLD is linked to an increased risk of chronic kidney disease. Patients with NAFLD are also more likely to have sleep apnea, a condition marked by interruptions in breathing while they sleep, and this condition is linked to the severity of NAFLD. Non-liver comorbidities have significant effects on how NAFLD is managed when they develop in individuals.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Understanding_NAFLD\"><\/span><b>Understanding NAFLD\u00a0<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The liver plays a significant role in metabolism and detoxification. However, diets rich in trans fats and simple carbohydrates\u2014common in fast foods, sugary beverages, packaged snacks, and fried items\u2014can overwhelm the organ\u2019s metabolic capacity. Over time, this results in the accumulation of excess fat within the liver cells, leading to hepatic steatosis, the hallmark of NAFLD.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If unchecked, fatty liver can progress to Non-Alcoholic Steatohepatitis (NASH), an inflammatory condition that increases the risk of fibrosis, cirrhosis, and even hepatocellular carcinoma (cancer). Alarmingly, this entire progression can occur silently, without obvious symptoms, making early dietary intervention crucial.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Common_Non-alcoholic_Fatty_Liver_Disease_Symptoms\"><\/span><b>Common Non-alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease Symptoms<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Fatigue: A persistent feeling of exhaustion that stays even after getting enough sleep.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Pain or discomfort in the abdomen usually occurs in the upper right region, which houses the organ.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Jaundice: Yellowing of the skin and eyes caused by the accumulation of bilirubin in the blood.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Swelling: Fluid accumulation leads to either edema, swelling in the legs and ankles, or ascites, swelling in the abdomen.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Itchy Skin: Prolonged itching, particularly if non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), a more severe variant of NAFLD, develops.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"5_Natural_Remedies_For_NAFLD\"><\/span><b>5 Natural Remedies For NAFLD\u00a0<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The primary objectives of <\/span><b>non-alcoholic fatty liver treatment<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> are to improve the organ\u2019s function and lessen fat accumulation.
