Understanding Fatty Liver – Symptoms And Causes

Did you know that fatty liver disease is silently becoming one of the most common health issues in India? It’s growing at an alarming rate, affecting people from all walks of life, and hampering health in multiple ways.

Many of us are so caught up in our busy lives that we don’t notice the subtle signs of this condition until it’s too late. The good news is, with awareness, healthy habits, and natural remedies like Krishna’s Liver Re-Live Juice it’s possible to manage and even reverse fatty liver.

Stay with us to understand the symptoms and causes of this silent disease.

What is Fatty Liver Disease?

As the name suggests, this is a medical condition that occurs when excessive amounts of fat start to build up in your liver. 

The liver is one of the largest organs in your body, which is located on the upper-right side of your abdomen. Its role is to remove toxins from your blood and process nutrients from food and drinks. So, it must be evident now how important the proper functioning of this organ is for a healthy life.

It is normal for a healthy liver to contain a small amount of fat, but if it reaches 5% to 10% of your liver’s weight then it is considered a fatty liver.

Excessive fat in your liver can lead to inflammation of the organ, which can damage it and result in scarring. In severe cases, this scarring of healthy liver cells interferes with the liver’s ability to perform its functions and leads to liver failure.

When this inflammation is caused due to alcohol abuse, it’s called alcoholic fatty liver disease (AFLD). Otherwise, it is called nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD).

Symptoms of Fatty Liver

Both AFLD and NAFLD have similar symptoms. But, in many cases, the disease doesn’t show noticeable signs and is accidentally diagnosed during medical tests or when it progresses to cirrhosis. If symptoms are present, they may include:

  • Pain and discomfort  in the upper right side of your abdomen
  • Feeling of fullness
  • Swollen abdomen and legs (edema)
  • Loss of appetite
  • Fatigue
  • Rapid weight loss
  • Jaundice
  • Weakness
  • Confusion

Based on research, if the waist circumference exceeds 100 cm in men and 90 cm in women around the belly button, it indicates the presence of fatty liver. So, if you have a waist circumference exceeding these limits, mind you…it may be a warning sign of fatty liver.

Causes of Fatty Liver Disease

The condition occurs when there’s too much fat in your liver, usually due to eating too many calories that the liver can’t process properly. Factors like obesity, diabetes, and high triglycerides increase the risk of developing this disease. Drinking too much alcohol, rapid weight loss, and not getting proper nutrition can also lead to fatty liver. However, some people can get it even without these conditions.

The risk of fatty liver is higher in middle-aged people who are overweight or obese, and those with diabetes or high triglyceride levels. Metabolic syndrome, a group of health issues linked to diabetes, heart problems, and stroke, is often connected to fatty liver. Signs of metabolic syndrome include belly fat, high blood pressure, abnormal cholesterol levels, and insulin resistance (which affects blood sugar levels).

It’s not entirely clear how the liver turns fatty. Fat might come from other parts of the body, or the liver might absorb more fat from the intestines. Also, the liver might lose its ability to process fat effectively.

Just eating fatty foods alone doesn’t cause a fatty liver.

How Krishna’s Relieve Juice Can Help With Fatty Liver

Fatty liver disease can silently affect your liver function, but with the right support, you can protect and rejuvenate this vital organ. Krishna’s Liver Re-Live Juice is a powerful Ayurvedic formulation made to detoxify and heal the liver using natural herbs. The blend of natural ingredients works together to improve liver performance, reduce inflammation, and support your body’s detox processes.

The key to the effectiveness of Krishna’s Liver Re-Live Juice lies in its herbal ingredients. For example, Makoy, an excellent herbal diuretic, helps flush out excess toxins, supporting your liver in its natural detoxification process. The juice also includes Jhau, which helps protect against damage from free radicals, and Apamar, a detoxifying herb that enhances the liver’s ability to remove harmful substances from the body.

In addition to these detoxifying herbs, the juice contains ingredients like Dugdh Feni, which promotes overall liver health, and Kaal Megh, known for its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. These herbs help reduce inflammation in your liver, which is the key contributor to fatty liver as mentioned above.

The juice also includes Rohitak, which helps address liver enlargement and spleen issues, and Sarpunkha, which aids in the regeneration of new liver cells. This is especially important for individuals dealing with liver conditions like cirrhosis or hepatitis, as these herbs help repair and rebuild liver tissue.

Also, the juice contains Harshringar which prevents bloating and constipation, common issues that can arise when your liver is not functioning properly.

For the best results, take this juice regularly. Mix 30ml of the juice with 30ml of warm water, ideally on an empty stomach in the morning and 30 minutes after dinner. This simple, natural remedy supports liver health, boosts detoxification, and enhances digestion, all while helping to combat fatty liver and related conditions.

But keep in mind, the herbal supplement will show its results only if you follow healthy habits, as the first line of treatment for fatty liver is lifestyle changes. Depending on your current condition and lifestyle habits:

  • Lose weight if you are obese or overweight.
  • Entirely stop alcohol consumption.
  • Consume a low-calorie, nutrient-rich diet that’s low in saturated fats and trans fats.
  • Do at least 30 minutes of exercise, 3–5 days a week.
