What is Fatty Liver Disease?
Fatty Liver Disease occurs when excess fat accumulates in the liver cells beyond normal levels. Over time, this build-up may affect the liver's ability to perform essential functions such as processing nutrients, filtering toxins, and supporting metabolism. Since the condition often develops without obvious symptoms, regular health check-ups can be helpful for early identification.
The condition is commonly classified into:
- Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD): Often linked to lifestyle factors and metabolic health.
- Alcohol-Related Fatty Liver Disease (AFLD): Associated with excessive alcohol consumption over time.
Maintaining a balanced diet, staying physically active, and consulting a healthcare professional when needed are important steps in supporting long-term liver health
