The liver is one of the most important organs in our body. They have very important duties. The most important of these is detoxification, that is, the task of purifying the body from toxins. Our liver is the center of purification of harmful substances in the body. The storage of some very important vitamins and protein production are also among the leading tasks of the liver. The food we eat is converted into energy form in the liver that we can use in our body. When we have an urgent need for energy, when we are hungry for a long time, glycogen stored in the liver is used first. Thus, obesity and fatty liver begin.
One of the most common conditions in people with obesity and overweight problems is fatty liver . Excess carbohydrates are converted into fat and stored in the body. After a certain time, the liver can no longer find a place to put the fat and starts to store it in its own body. Fat accumulated in the liver, after a while, significantly impairs the normal functions of the liver. As everyone knows, alcohol is one of the most harmful substances for the liver. Alcohol-induced fatty liver develops in those who use alcohol frequently and for a long time. This condition can progress to liver cirrhosis in some people if precautions are not taken. Studies have shown that non-alcoholic fatty liver disease due to obesity is at least as damaging to the liver as alcohol.
Fatty liver is a very common condition (30-40%) in our country, where almost 1 in 3 people are obese . Unexplained weakness, exhaustion, feeling tired, forgetfulness can be symptoms of fatty liver disease. A recent study has shown that the fats accumulated in the liver cells play a very important role in the formation of diabetes by disrupting the building blocks of the cell, such as mitochondria. Losing weight is one of the most important points to have a lean healthy liver. Fatty liver is one of the most rapidly improving problems with effective weight loss after bariatric surgery (tube stomach, gastric bypass, etc.).
