Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is a common liver condition closely linked to obesity. In individuals with obesity, excess fat accumulates in the liver, leading to inflammation and potential scarring. Over time, NAFLD can progress to more severe conditions such as cirrhosis and liver failure. This condition is often associated with metabolic disorders like insulin resistance, high cholesterol, and hypertension. Weight management is critical in treating and preventing NAFLD, as losing even a small percentage of body weight can significantly reduce liver fat and inflammation. A combination of a low-calorie diet, regular exercise, and pharmacological treatments when necessary can help reduce fat accumulation in the liver and prevent further damage, improving liver function and overall health outcomes.
