Fast-paced society.

Efficiency is the pursuit of everything.

Even ** is no exception.

Wow, I lost 10 pounds this week."

However, wait for the inspection report to be obtained.

It reads "fatty liver".

Dumbfounded.

Yes? I don't eat meat anymore, I've lost so much weight, why do I still have fatty liver?

Yes, you read that right, fatty liver is not just the preserve of "fat people".

Why do you lose fatty liver?

Fatty liver may be formed if there is a problem in any one or more links of lipid synthesis, metabolism, transport, and excretion in the human body. Among the factors that contribute to the formation of fatty liver are rapid** and malnutrition.

The liver is the "chemical factory" of fat synthesis and metabolism, and the liver of normal people contains a small amount of fat, such as triglycerides, phospholipids, glycolipids and cholesterol, etc., when the fat exceeds 5%, it is called fatty liver.

If the human body is in a state of hunger for a long time, the body will not be able to obtain essential energy substances such as glucose and various oxidative enzymes needed for fat burning. In order to make up for the lack of glucose in the body, the body will mobilize the fat and protein stored in other parts to be converted into heat through the "chemical factory" of the liver. As a result, fatty liver is formed when a large amount of raw materials (fatty acids) accumulate in the liver's "chemical factory".

The liver needs an important porter in the process of fat synthesis and metabolic transport – lipoproteins (proteins that transport fat outside the liver). Fast**, especially when choosing a low-protein and carbohydrate-free diet, will lead to insufficient intake of nutrients, which will affect the synthesis of protein and phospholipids in the human body, especially the reduction of intrahepatic lipoprotein synthesis, excess triglycerides exceed the lipoprotein transport capacity, resulting in fat retention in the liver, resulting in fatty liver.

In addition, fasting, excessive dieting, or other rapid** behaviors can cause a large amount of fat to be broken down in a short period of time, which in turn produces a large amount of peroxide, which damages liver cells and leads to fatty liver.

How to avoid** lose fatty liver

Follow scientifically sound methods to avoid overdoing or losing weight too quickly, otherwise it will worsen liver damage. According to the total weight of the body weight, 5% to 10% weight loss within half a year is effective weight loss. Lose 0 percent weight per week5 1 kg, if exceeded, it is excessive. By eating a balanced diet, exercising moderately, avoiding excessive alcohol consumption, maintaining a good sleep schedule and mindset, we can effectively prevent fatty liver disease.

The first is to have a reasonable diet, scientifically arrange three meals a day, control the total number of dietary calories, and adjust the poor dietary structure. Proper intake of good fats (such as unsaturated fatty acids) because proper intake of fats is beneficial for stabilizing blood sugar and does not cause a rapid rise in insulin, which can lead to increased fat accumulation in the liver. Ensure protein intake and eat more high-fiber foods to improve gut health. Try to eat less refined carbohydrates and sugary foods such as refined white rice noodles, no or less alcohol, eat less fried and overcooked foods, and reduce the intake of trans fatty acids.

The second is reasonable exercise. Aerobic exercise can improve the body's metabolism, promote energy consumption, avoid excess energy in the body and convert into fat accumulation, and at the same time, the fat accumulated in the body is the most effective and healthy method. However, exercise should also be done according to one's ability and gradually, so as to avoid health harm caused by improper or excessive exercise.

**What to do if you lose fatty liver

Fatty liver disease is diagnosed early and promptly**, and most cases return to normal. In general, mild fatty liver may have no obvious symptoms, but fatty liver is also a progressive disease, and as the condition worsens, symptoms such as fatigue, loss of appetite, nausea, and vomiting may occur.

If left untimely**, fatty liver can progress to chronic hepatitis, cirrhosis and even liver cancer.
