Friends, fatty liver disease is also known as hepatic steatosis. Hepatic means liver and steatosis means accumulation of fat in the liver. Due to which the liver is unable to function properly and many diseases arise in the body.

 Excess food turns into fat. Taking excess carbohydrates turns them into fat. This extra fat starts accumulating in the liver. Due to which the liver starts growing.

 Lack of physical exercise is also the cause of this disease. When a person continuously sits at one place and does not move his body in any way, then due to this also the food consumed starts turning into fat. Due to obesity in the body, a layer of fat starts accumulating on the liver just as there is obesity in the body. In the same way, obesity also occurs in the liver and the liver is not able to function properly.

When there is any kind of problem in the body, then the person starts taking allopathic medicines. He starts taking medicines for small things. The liver does not get a chance to work. Because the liver is the chemical factory of the body. It makes different types of chemicals that protect the body from diseases. Taking this medicine repeatedly has an adverse effect on the liver. Due to which the liver is not able to function properly and there is a hindrance in the functioning of the liver.

Eating food repeatedly without being hungry also puts pressure on the liver. The liver gets tired of doing metabolism repeatedly due to which its functioning gets hindered and fat starts accumulating inside the liver.

Which the liver is not able to produce properly.

 Unexplained weight loss

Friends, weight loss can also be a symptom of liver enlargement. When the liver becomes weak due to accumulation of fat in the liver, metabolism does not happen properly. Due to which weight loss is natural. Due to less physical activity, the stomach does not function properly. Food is also not digested properly. Due to which weight decreases.

The blood formation in the patient decreases and the amount of bilirubin starts increasing in the blood. Due to which the symptoms of jaundice develop. The eyes become yellow. There is a lack of blood in the body. The body becomes yellow.

It is a behavior in which a person consumes excessive calories, resulting in weight gain and obesity, especially when combined with sedentary behavior.

These categories are not exhaustive, and some individuals may experience a combination of these types of malnutrition. It is important to note that these classifications are primarily for adults; Malnutrition in children can be broadly divided into the following categories: wasting (low weight for height), stunting (low height for age) and overweight or obesity (high weight for height).

Harmful effects of malnutrition

1. Weak immune system

Malnutrition weakens the immune system, making a person more susceptible to infections and diseases.

2. Decreased physical growth and development

 In children, malnutrition can impair physical growth and cognitive development, resulting in long-term health consequences.

3. Decreased energy levels and fatigue

 Malnutrition can cause decreased energy levels and persistent fatigue, making it difficult to perform daily tasks and engage in physical activities.

4. Poor mental health

Malnutrition has been linked to an increased risk of mental health problems such as depression, anxiety, and stress.

5. Impedes wound healing

Individuals suffering from malnutrition often experience impaired wound healing and slower recovery from injuries and surgery.

6. Increases the risk of chronic diseases

 Malnutrition increases the risk of developing chronic health conditions such as diabetes, heart disease, and osteoporosis.

 7. Decreased cognitive function

 Malnutrition can cause cognitive impairment, such as decreased memory, attention, and concentration.

8. Increase in hospital readmission rates

Malnourished individuals are at greater risk of being readmitted to hospital, as their weakened condition makes recovery from illness or injury more challenging.

9. Decreased quality of life

 Malnutrition can negatively affect a person's quality of life, limiting their ability to participate in daily activities and engage in social situations.

10. Increase in mortality rate

Malnutrition has been linked to increased mortality, as individuals with poor nutrition are less likely to survive serious illnesses or endure major surgery.
