Fatty Liver Articles:

Obesity, Fatty Liver, and Nutrient Deficiency

The accumulation of fat in the liver is a significant health problem that clogs liver function, setting the stage for diabetes and other issues. It is typically occurring in direct relationship to one’s expanding waistline. Researchers just showed that stimulating the metabolism of fat significantly helped mice clear up this problem.

How Stress Causes a Fatty Liver

New research has for the first time pinpointed the precise mechanism explaining how excess cortisol results in a fatty liver.

Liver Fat is a Super-Size Problem

The progressive and improper accumulation of fat in your liver is a key marker that accurately reflects obesity-related disease risk. This is true regardless of where you gain fat.

Gut Problems Associated with Fatty Liver

Normally we think of adverse accumulation of fat in the liver being caused by excess alcohol and over-eating. A new study demonstrates for the first time that an overgrowth of imbalanced bacteria and/or a “leaky gut” are associated with the severity of a build up of undesirable fat in the liver – a key marker of disease risk and progression into the metabolic syndrome.

Aerobic Exercise Improves Stiff Arteries and Fatty Liver

Several new studies are showing that aerobic exercise can have a rather profound effect on promoting health. One study showed that in older adults with type II diabetes just three months of aerobics produced noticeable improvement in the elasticity of arteries. Another study showed that one month of aerobic exercise reduced the fatty build up in the liver of overweight individuals.

Curcumin: Linking Leptin, Obesity, Joint Problems, and Inflammation

Curcumin is the yellow pigment derived from the spice tumeric. Fine quality dietary supplements standardize curcumin for the amount of curcuminoids, the primary biologically active ingredient. It is widely researched as an anti-inflammatory nutrient with cancer-risk reduction properties. A number of new studies demonstrate how curcumin can reduce the inflammation associated with obesity and in so doing simultaneously improve joint health.

Abdominal Fat More Difficult to Lose

A new study analyzed the amount of abdominal and liver fat in 243 people and then put them on a diet along with moderate exercise. Those who lost the most weight had the least amount of problematic fat in the first place. This helps explain why some people have a more difficult time losing weight than others.

Quercetin Helps Correct Fatty Liver and Poor Metabolism

A new animal study with quercetin shows that the nutrient can help undo damage caused by a high fat, high cholesterol, and high sugar diet. Not only was fatty liver accumulation reversed, but many factors involved with metabolism were improved including inflammation status, insulin resistance, and problems with lipids (cholesterol and triglycerides).

Whey Protein Improves Fatty Liver while Lowering Cholesterol

Obese non-diabetic women consuming 60 grams of whey protein per day (20 grams three times per day) for four weeks had a 20% reduction in unhealthy liver fat, a 15% reduction in triglycerides, and a 7% reduction in total cholesterol.

Gut Bacteria Can Cause Fatty Liver

The plot thickens. There are many chefs in the human health kitchen, not the least of which is the foreign contents of your digestive tract. The accumulation of excess fat in your liver is a huge problem to your health for multiple reasons. The fact that gut bacteria imbalance is now linked to this problem, lends even more importance to the rapidly evolving science of human and gut genome interaction in health and disease.
