Main reasons for fatty liver
Obesity: The most important reason for fatty liver is excess fat in the body. Fat accumulation, especially in the abdomen, significantly affects the functioning of the liver.
Diabetes/Insulin Resistance: People with type 2 diabetes are more likely to develop fat in the liver. This is caused by the body’s inability to use insulin properly (Insulin Resistance).
Excessive alcohol consumption: Alcohol is a major factor that damages liver cells and causes fat accumulation.
Increased blood fat: Increased levels of triglycerides in the blood cause fat accumulation in the liver.
Dietary habits: Excessive consumption of processed foods, excessive sugar (fructose), and fried foods increases fat in the liver.
High blood pressure: There is a strong link between high blood pressure and fatty liver.
Rapid weight loss: Losing weight too quickly through extreme dieting can cause fat to accumulate in the liver in some people.
