It is becoming more common today to be diagnosed with non-alcoholic, fatty liver disease or NAFLD. Approximately, 20% of the developed world has it. This is a byproduct of eating carbohydrates in excess and the extra glucose enters the liver after muscle storage is maxed out. These foods are processed carbohydrates like pasta and pastries and even too many fruits.

3 to 5 TIPS/STEPS TO ADDRESS THIS:

Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease or NAFLD can occur when you eat a diet high in processed carbohydrates or simple sugars.
Luckily, this is a reversible condition and can reverse in as quickly as a few weeks.
Always choose whole foods like vegetables, fish, chicken, meats and healthy fats likes nuts, olive oil or coconut oil.
Choose high fiber, low sugar fruits like apples with the skin, kiwi, citrus fruit and berries including cherries.

HERE ARE YOUR TAKEAWAYS:

A diagnosis of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) or Non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) is a reversible condition related to a diet high in carbohydrates.
Always choose whole foods that have little dietary processing and few starches.
Stick to proteins, healthy fats like avocado and extra virgin olive oil and nuts.
Eat vegetables and lower sugar fruits in moderation like berries and a small apple.
