Is Fat In The Liver Normal?

Yes, you can expect to have some fat in and surrounding the liver however, evidence is becoming clearer that over the past 15+ years, an increase in daily calories, our agricultural farming practices (increased use of sprays) overconsumption of alcohol and the increase in convenience foods is contributing to an increase in fatty liver.

A fatty liver is when your body consumes more fat than your liver can break down.

But if fat makes up more than 5-10 per cent of the weight of your liver (your doctor can advise you), you may have alcoholic or non-alcoholic liver disease.

Both of these conditions can lead to serious complications. And, there are no symptoms in the early stages – only a blood test and abnormal liver enzymes can signal an early problem.

Hepasil DTX helps with 2 of the 4 detoxification processes of the liver, helping to supply additional nutrients during these phases.

You should try and take USANA Hepasil with both food and water as the nutrients are both food and water soluble so 2 with breakfast and 2 with dinner are recommended.

What Is A Healthy Weight Range

Getting into a healthy weight range is important but it differs from person to person.

One of the advantages of ensuring you are a healthy weight helps you to avoid insulin resistance and metabolic syndrome (a cluster of symptoms including belly fat and two or more of high blood pressure, blood cholesterol, and blood glucose).

Insulin resistance can occur when insulin tries to normalize the concentration of glucose in your blood by taking glucose in the blood into body cells (where it can be used as an energy source).

Insulin resistance is when the cells become resistant to insulin so that there are high levels of insulin and glucose in the blood. Insulin is a hunger hormone and glucose is converted into fat and deposited around the body – including the abdomen and liver.

Losing Weight Slowly

And, while losing weight is important, it is very important to go slow and steady with weight loss. Rapid weight loss is not recommended. For example, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) can develop in some people following surgery to reduce obesity and may be due to rapid changes of fats in the blood when the body encourages the liver to produce fats to make up for the fat missing from the diet.

Alcohol is also a well-known cause of liver damage – and if you regularly drink over the recommended lower-risk guidelines, you increase your chances of developing live problems which can be irreversible.

What Does The Liver Do?

The liver does many jobs, but here are three big ones:

1. It cleans and purifies your blood.
2. It produces an important digestive liquid called bile.
3. It stores energy in the form of a sugar called Glycogen. The liver turns glucose into fat which it sends around the body to store for use when we need it. Alcohol affects the way your liver handles fat so your liver cells get stuffed full of it.

Alcohol causes oxidative stress when the liver tries to break down alcohol into something less toxic. The damage can lead to inflammation and scarring as your liver tries to repair itself. Alcohol also causes toxins from your gut to get into the liver and these can cause inflammation and scarring, too.

What can you do?

Don’t drink alcohol every day. Daily drinking increases the chances of your body becoming tolerant to alcohol. Taking days off alcohol helps to give your body a break and time for your liver to heal itself. If you need help, speak with your GP.

Eat well. Good nutrition can help to support your liver to function and plays a crucial role in your health.

Enjoy two fruits and five veggies or more daily and always fill half of your plate with fresh produce only a quarter with lean protein and a quarter with wholegrain or wholemeal carbohydrates help to shift the balance to healthier eating.

You will automatically consume fewer calories if you go for this kind of portion control.

A healthy weight loss is about 1.5 to 2 lbs a week. (1 to 2kg)
