Fatty liver means there is build-up of excess fat in the liver cells. Liver normally contains some fat. But if fat accounts for more than 10% of the liver´s weight, then this is considered as fatty liver.
I am sure that one of the most important causes for non-alcoholic fatty liver disease especially in teenagers is fast foods which include heavy doses of trans-fats. These trans-fats may cause over time inflammation of liver cells, which is called steatohepatitis, an important cause of liver damage. This condition ends in fibrosis (cirrhosis), this will result in liver failure, which may lead to death.
if cirrhosis has not yet developed, fatty liver disease can be reversed through weight loss. And this is our point of possible intervention.
The most important diagnostic characters of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease are:
1. Fat belly.
2. Chronic fatigue syndrome.
3. Lack of concentration and memory.
4. Frequent abdominal discomfort.
Although there is no proven treatment for NAFLD, gradual and sustained weight loss sometimes helps reduce the amount of fat in the liver. Obese patients should talk to their physician about ways to lose weight. For those with diabetes, tight control of blood glucose levels may be beneficial.
Why is Luqaimat diet the best diet plan for saving kids' fatty liver?
Most scientists agree that the best way to prevent or to manage fatty liver in teenagers is through:
1. Lowering body weight very slowly around 1 pound per week (so that not to flair up liver inflammation).
2. Maintaining the body weight after weight loss (liver cirrhosis becomes aggressive when cycling of body weight occurs).
3. Managing properly cases of diabetes and raised triglycerides.
Since Elhashemy's Broad Spectrum Luqaimat Diet Plan fulfills these three criteria effectively, I think it is the best diet that could manage and/or prevent non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, especially in kids.
