What causes a non alcoholic fatty liver?
My doctor told me I have non-alcoholic fatty liver, and I'm really surprised because I don't drink alcohol at all. I want to understand what actually causes a non-alcoholic fatty liver condition.

It usually happens due to a build-up of extra fat in the liver cells, even if you don't drink alcohol. Don't worry too much, small changes in your daily diet can make a huge difference. Take care and take it one step at a time.

Aah, this fatty liver is the gift of our sedentary lifestyle and love for direct-from-kadhai pakodas! Even without touching a drop of alcohol, my liver behaves like it party hard every night. Doc told me to stop sitting like a potato and start moving.

It's basically your liver saying 'please stop sending so much sweet and fried stuff down here!' It hoards the extra fat like my mom hoards old plastic bags. Just cut down on the sugar and walk a bit, your liver will forgive you!

Metabolic issues like thyroid imbalances can also contribute to a fatty liver. I found out about mine during a routine blood test. Please get an ultrasound and LFT done, and consult a doctor to keep an eye on your metabolic health.

An excess of refined carbs and sugar, combined with low daily activity, is the main trigger. I tracked my macros on an app and realized how much hidden sugar I was consuming. Try monitoring your steps and reducing processed foods to reverse it.

Yes, high cholesterol and insulin resistance are major causes. Reducing daily chai sugar and doing a 30-minute walk worked wonders for me.
