The liver is also the largest gland in the human body. It helps keep the body free of toxins, stores glycogen, processes the decomposition of red blood cells, and produces biochemicals necessary to life itself.
Your kidneys and liver are very significant organs, thus you need to keep them as healthy as possible. The main function of the liver and kidneys is to drive out all the toxins that rise from the body's metabolism. Too much alcohol consumption damages liver function and could cause cirrhosis.
The liver has several functions. One of these is to produce triglycerides, which is a type of fat. This particular type of fat is needed to produce testosterone, estrogen, adrenal hormones and to aid in the production of hormones that are needed to promote new cell growth. The liver will take the fat from the foods that you eat and create triglycerides.
Fatty liver is a condition in which fat accumulates in the liver cells. However simple fatty liver does not damage the liver. Fat accumulation in the liver can be caused by weight gain or diabetes mellitus. Fatty liver can occur with a lean diet and ailments such as tuberculosis and intestinal bypass surgery for obesity. It can also occur while certain drugs like corticosteroids.
The cause of NAFLD is unclear. The most prominent reasons for accumulation of fat in the liver are significant weight gain and diabetes mellitus. Fatty liver can also occur with poor diet and certain illnesses, such as tuberculosis, intestinal bypass surgery for obesity, and specific drugs such as corticosteroids, or heavy alcohol use. Eating fatty food by itself does not produce a fatty liver.
People who drink too much alcohol are likely to suffer from this disease, the liver can handle lots of pressure, but when it is abused, alcohol may lead to the inflammation of the liver which causes the liver to be bigger and eventually when your metabolism stops, excess fat will build up in the liver since the excess fat will go to the liver before it reaches to the blood stream. Soon after that other complications might occur, and it might be more serious and more deadly.
When the cause of your fatty liver is by excessive drinking of alcohol, it will be a good time for you to stop drinking, or if you have a hard time doing it, at least start of by drinking less until you do not drink anymore. It is also advised that if you are an alcoholic you see a doctor or go to rehab, there are a lot of programs given for this. This is a must because alcohol drinkers might bring the disease to another level called Cirrhosis.
Try to take lots of herbs and spices such as ginger, cinnamon, garlic, coriander leaves and fresh turmeric since these help support the liver, heal and protect it, and act as a liver tonic, balancing sugar and lipid levels.
