How to Naturally Reverse Fatty Liver Disease

The liver, located on the upper-right side of the abdomen, is the body’s largest internal organ and plays a critical role in detoxifying the blood and processing nutrients.

Blood from the digestive system filters through the liver before reaching the rest of the body.

When too much fat accumulates in the liver— more than 10% of its weight—a condition known as fatty liver disease (or steatosis) can develop, leading to possible inflammation and more severe complications over time.

Types and Causes of Fatty Liver Disease

There are two primary types of fatty liver disease: Alcohol-Related Liver Disease (ARLD) and Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD). Pregnant women can also experience a form called acute fatty liver of pregnancy. Fatty liver is often asymptomatic but can lead to inflammation (steatohepatitis), scarring (cirrhosis), and eventually liver failure if untreated.

Several factors contribute to fatty liver, including:

• Obesity

• Type 2 diabetes

• High cholesterol

• High blood pressure

• Pregnancy

• Certain medications and infections

• Genetic predispositions
