Fatty liver links to metabolic syndrome. A non-complicated fatty liver disease is reversible in most case if managed properly. Non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) happens when the fatty liver becomes inflamed and eventually progress to liver cirrhosis (permanent liver scarring).<br \/><br \/>To prevent deteriorating of fatty liver, medical goals focus on treating associated conditions like obesity and diabetes which can cause fat to build up in our body. There is no special diet for fatty liver, however patients need to control body weight and glucose levels. It is important to control their high cholesterol and high blood pressure as well.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-61af518 elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer\" data-id=\"61af518\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"spacer.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<style>\/*!

BMI greater than 23kg\/m\u00b2 is classified as overweight. Increased visceral fat is more of a risk factor for non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) as a continued high release for fatty acids can cause insulin resistance in the body.<br \/><br \/>In men, high risk abdominal obesity is defined when a waist circumference is greater than 90cm; for women, when greater than 80cm. To maintain body weight in the healthy range, we need to balance physical activity and calory intake from foods. As adults, we should prevent gradual weight gain over time by reducing high calorie food intake. For example, high calorie food which is popular among Malaysian include rojak (1 plate with 752kcal), curry noodles (1 bowl with 681kcal) and kuew teow bandung (1 bowl with 540kcal) and etc.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6d9184a elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer\" data-id=\"6d9184a\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"spacer.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer-inner\"><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-b388360 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"b388360\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><strong>2.\u00a0DIABETIC PATIENTS<\/strong><br \/>Control on carbohydrate intake is part of the dietary management for diabetic patients.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-7434795 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"7434795\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"389\" height=\"290\" src=\"https:\/\/www.columbiaasia.com\/malaysia\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/health-articles-Fatty-Liver-03-1.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-37656\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.columbiaasia.com\/malaysia\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/health-articles-Fatty-Liver-03-1.jpg 389w, https:\/\/www.columbiaasia.com\/malaysia\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/health-articles-Fatty-Liver-03-1-300x224.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 389px) 100vw, 389px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-3aa995f elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"3aa995f\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div style=\"text-align: left;\"><div style=\"text-align: center;\"><em><span class=\"note\">Photocredit: lowcarbdietadvisor.com<\/span><\/em><br \/>\u00a0<\/div>Insulin resistance interferes with fat metabolism and causes accumulation of triglyceride fats in the liver cells.
