Choosing Natural Remedies for Fatty Liver Disease

Traditional fatty liver disease treatments are like those from medical professionals who stress natural healing methods. The only treatment needed for fatty liver disease is to lose weight, avoid alcohol, and get more exercise. Losing even a small amount of weight can benefit the liver greatly. Most doctors recommend consuming 500 fewer calories daily and exercising at least 150 minutes weekly.

Many medical professionals refuse to encourage patients to make these changes and develop good habits that will keep them healthy. Instead, they recommend weight loss medications and bariatric surgery to make weight loss easier. The methods work, and the reduced weight can improve health, but drawbacks exist. Neither option helps people to build healthy habits. Medication and surgery also have risks and can create new health problems that need further treatment.

Anyone with fatty liver disease needs to learn about nutrition and appreciate the benefits of making sensible choices. Natural fatty liver disease remedies modify diets and include targeted supplements to restore digestive health. People that use these methods have an opportunity to learn more about their bodies. Understanding why the body reacts as it does makes self-care easier and more effective.

These methods allowed Dr. Robert Lichtenstein to cure his stage 4 cancer twice. He continues to follow the system and now shares it with his patients. As a chiropractor and Board-Certified Nutritional Specialist, Dr. Lichtenstein understands the value of a healthy lifestyle and wants his patients to appreciate the benefits too.

Symptoms of Fatty Liver Disease 

Fatty liver disease produces few symptoms for most people until the condition becomes severe. Most people will have some pain or discomfort in their upper right abdomen. Unexplained fatigue is also often present. A doctor may discover an enlargement of the liver on a physical examination.

People sensitive to the changes in their liver may experience additional symptoms that make recognizing the problem easier. These symptoms may include:

• A feeling of fullness in the upper right abdomen
• Nausea
• Loss of appetite or weight loss
• Swollen abdomen and legs
• Extreme fatigue
• Mental confusion
• Weakness
  

Causes of Fatty Liver Disease 

• Overindulging in unhealthy foods, obesity, and sedentary lifestyles are the most common causes of fatty liver disease. Other causes or risk factors include:
• Exposure to certain chemicals that cause oxidative stress
• Release of cytokines by the liver – often a result of trauma to the organ
• Excessive intestinal bacteria

• Obesity – particularly with fat collecting in the abdomen
• High blood sugar
• Insulin resistance
• High cholesterol
• Metabolic syndrome
• Polycystic ovarian syndrome
• Sleep apnea
• Underactive thyroid or pituitary glands
  

Potential Risks of Leaving Fatty Liver Disease Untreated

Most people will not experience problems with fatty liver disease and may never know they have it. Weight loss and activity will make the risk even less likely. However, people with the condition who choose not to make changes could develop cirrhosis. This disease always leads to liver cancer or liver failure if left untreated.
