Obviously not fat, eat very healthy, why still get fatty liver? These three may be the root of the trouble

As everyone lives a good life and their diet improves, the pressure on the liver is getting heavier and heavier day by day.

For example, fatty liver is a typical "diseases of affluence".

Often someone with the physical examination report to ask doctors, said that they were not fat, and eat very healthy, why can there be fatty liver?

Therefore, in our impression, fatty liver is the second largest liver disease after viral hepatitis. It is caused by excessive fat accumulation in the liver.

Since it has something to do with too much fat in the body, many people will think that only obese people can get this disease, and it is because they eat too much fish and meat that there is so much fat in the liver.

But in fact, fatty liver is not all caused by obesity and diet.

In addition to obesity, the following three reasons can also induce fatty liver

1. Malnutrition

Malnutrition, the intake of nutrition can not meet the needs of the body, lack of vitamins, protein in the body, can lead to protein, phospholipid synthesis is affected, lipoprotein production is insufficient.

At the same time, the lack of choline, amino acids and other substances leads to the reduction of protein synthesis, which makes the body need to use the originally stored fat. These fatty acids can be released from the adipose tissue and enter the liver, resulting in the accumulation of excessive fat in the liver and the formation of dystrophic fatty liver.

Dystrophic fatty liver is easy to occur in people with intestinal diseases, anorexia and partial eclipse. In order to lose weight, some women will also have dystrophic fatty liver if they are vegetarian for a long time.

2. Alcoholism

We know that after alcohol enters the human body, the liver will metabolize and decompose it, which itself will cause a certain burden on the liver. In addition, alcohol itself can produce toxicity on liver cells, affecting the function of liver cells in decomposing and metabolizing fat. Under the influence of the above factors, fatty liver will unconsciously come to the door.

Statistics show that if the daily consumption of Baijiu liquor more than 40 grams, for 5 years, the risk of fatty liver can reach 90%.

3. Drug side effects or hepatitis

We all know that liver cell poisoning and damage can lead to fatty liver, and other liver damage factors can also be.

Some liver diseases, such as viral hepatitis, especially hepatitis C, may also have fatty liver.

For example, the common hormone drugs, antiarrhythmic drugs such as amiodarone, these drugs will have side effects on the liver, long-term use will cause fatty liver.

However, for patients who need to take it, doctors will recommend that patients need to check their liver function regularly, and adjust the medication plan in case of abnormalities.

The body is too thin, also easy to suffer from fatty liver!

However, there are also some people who are neither obese nor drink alcohol, and do not take medicine. They eat healthily, but they also have fatty liver.

Why is that?

You know, the liver is not only responsible for the synthesis and decomposition of fat, but also the "transit station" of fat storage.

People with chronic malnutrition will inevitably lack protein, and the synthesis of lipoproteins in the liver will be affected. As the liver is unable to decompose the excess fat, gradually the fat will accumulate and naturally form fatty liver.

For people who are usually very thin, have long-term malnutrition, and over diet to lose weight, they may also be targeted by fatty liver.

Simple fatty liver itself is not very serious, but it will inevitably have something to do with some diseases. Once fatty liver is found in physical examination, it is not as simple as adjusting diet. It is suggested that the causes need to be further investigated.

Of course, most fatty liver is caused by unreasonable diet, including overeating, lack of exercise, so in essence, most patients need to adjust their diet.

Although fatty liver is not necessarily caused by obesity and diet, it does not mean that you can eat and drink as much as you like.
