Fatty liver is a type of liver disease. It is a disease caused by excessive accumulation of fat in liver cells due to various reasons. Its incidence is second only to viral hepatitis , and it also has a younger trend. Therefore, we should have a clear understanding of the causes of the disease, which types of people are susceptible to the disease, and take complete preventive measures. Only by keeping your liver healthy can your quality of life be improved.
1, diabetic patients
Some types of people should focus on preventing fatty liver, especially diabetic patients. Clinically, nearly half of diabetic patients also develop fatty liver, because there is excessive obesity before diabetes occurs, which affects endocrine. When pancreatic islet function is reduced, blood sugar will fluctuate, and finally develop into diabetes.
However, during the development of the disease, weight is not strictly controlled, and fat substances in the body continue to accumulate, which will eventually affect liver health. Of course, diabetic patients also have excessively high plasma fatty acids and plasma insulin levels. In addition to the decline in organ function related to obesity, diet also plays a role.
2. Malnourished people
People who are malnourished for a long time are at risk of developing fatty liver, so we should focus on prevention . Maintain good eating habits and ensure the supply of various nutrients, of which trace elements, dietary fiber, protein, vitamins, minerals, etc. are indispensable.
However, if you diet excessively in order to control your weight, or simply eat a vegetarian diet, continued malnutrition will not only reduce resistance, but also lead to an increase in the prevalence of fatty liver. Because most malnourished people lack protein, if they have digestive disorders, they must be resolved in time, otherwise the body will not be able to synthesize apolipoproteins normally, and eventually a lot of triglycerides will accumulate in the liver, which will lead to fatty liver over time.
3. Overweight people
can determine whether their weight is within the normal range according to the standard weight calculation formula. excessive obesity situations can be controlled as soon as possible. And those who are overweight must try their best to lose weight. Whether it is diet control, adjusting their daily routine or engaging in exercise, they can promote fat burning and reduce caloric gain.
Because many obese people also develop fatty liver. The more obese people are, the more fat they accumulate in the body, and the risk of developing the disease is relatively higher. If you can control your weight in time and lose weight seriously, the situation of fat infiltration in the liver can be improved or disappeared.
4. People who love drinking
Long-term heavy drinking has become a catalyst for many diseases. Excessive drinking has the risk of alcoholic fatty liver increased many times, especially those who drink every day and drink more than 160 grams. Disease is difficult to escape.
As a risk factor affecting liver health, alcohol abuse not only leads to alcoholism, but also causes liver cell degeneration and necrosis. Some people not only suffer from alcoholic liver disease, but also have a significant increase in the prevalence of fatty liver, cirrhosis, liver cancer and other diseases. For your own safety and health, you should strictly abstain from alcohol.
