  1. Why are youngsters more prone to Fatty Liver Disease?

  2. What is fatty liver? Fatty liver occurs when excess fat builds up in liver cells. The liver normally contains a small amount of fat, but when fat makes up more than 5–10% of the liver’s weight, it's considered fatty liver. It can lead to inflammation, liver damage, and in severe cases, cirrhosis.

  3. Types of Fatty liver Disease Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD): Fat accumulation in the liver not caused by alcohol, often linked to obesity and poor lifestyle. Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (AFLD): Fat buildup in the liver due to excessive alcohol consumption.

  4. The Growing Threat Among Youth Fatty liver is no longer an age-related issue — it’s hitting youngsters fast. Blame it on junk food, zero exercise, and constant stress. Early signs are silent, so most don’t even know they have it. Teens and young adults are increasingly at risk. The good news? It’s preventable with timely lifestyle changes.

  5. Wondering what’s behind fatty liver? Let’s break down the major causes.

  6. Unhealthy Diet High intake of processed and fried foods leads to excess calorie and fat accumulation in the liver. Sugary drinks and refined carbs (like soft drinks, white bread, and sweets) increase triglyceride levels and insulin resistance.

  7. Obesity Excess body fat, especially around the abdomen, promotes fat storage in liver cells. Obesity is closely linked to insulin resistance, which impairs the liver’s ability to break down fats. Get expert evaluation and care at the Liver Specialist Hospital In Coimbatore.

  8. Sedentary Lifestyle Lack of physical activity reduces calorie burning, leading to fat accumulation in the liver. Inactivity slows down metabolism, making it harder for the body to process fats efficiently.

  9. Alcohol Consumption Alcohol overloads the liver, leading to fat accumulation and impaired liver function. Toxic byproducts from alcohol damage liver cells and disrupt normal fat metabolism.

  10. Rapid Weight Loss or Crash Dieting Sudden weight loss releases stored fat into the bloodstream, which can accumulate in the liver. Crash diets slow metabolism and disrupt liver function, leading to fat buildup in liver cells.

  11. Hormonal Imbalance or PCOS Hormonal imbalances, especially in conditions like PCOS, affect how the body stores and processes fat, leading to liver fat buildup. Insulin resistance commonly seen in PCOS disrupts metabolism, increasing the risk of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD).

  12. Fatty Liver Symptoms Loss of appetite or feeling full quickly Mild Fatigue, Nausea or bloating Unexplained weight loss abdominal discomfort
