Because there is a proliferation of foods that are bad for us everywhere the main ones being that contain a lot of fat and sugar, not only do these foods make us put on weight they can also cause other damage as well it is now possible. To cause harm to your liver even if you don’t drink a lot because we eat a lot of fat and sugary foods, and a lot of us eat far more than we should per daily allowance of fat.

Then it is not surprising that some people are showing the early stages of fatty liver if you are overweight and have been eating a fatty diet for quite some time, then there is every possibility that your liver may have suffered some damage.

In a recent study that has come to light some people were told to eat fast-food twice a day for a month, and only after a week their livers were showing damage even in this short space of time. The report was based on a study which involved 34 Swedish people, and the effects that eating a diet which was high in saturated fat and what effect it had on their livers, and exercise was kept to a bare minimum.

After a month they had blood tests which measures liver enzyme levels to see if what damage may have been done it was found that there was they increase, in blood liver enzymes probably higher than what they would be normally.

This evidence does prove the point that eating a diet that is high in saturated fats will do you no good in the long-term, in the study there were 12 healthy man and six healthy women.

And these were put together with a similar match of people in the same age group and same ages, so one group of 18 people was asked to eat two fast-food meals per day and to do very little exercise, it was suggested that they do no more than 5000 steps per day.

During the study their weight was taken, there abdomen were measured and they also had liver blood test function tests done, in order to compare results later on when the study had finished. After the four-week month period was over results were analyzed to see what difference there were, the group who had ate the fast-food, there weight went from 67 kilograms to 74 kilograms.

And there liver blood test results which came back showed a very significant increase in something calledALT which is normally associated with people who have liver disease brought on by excessive alcohol consumption.

There have been other claims to back up this theory as well if you haven’t seen Morgan Spurlock’s documentary about eating fast-food for a similar period of time, they actually measured his blood liver enzymes, it wasn’t to long before his liver started to show elevated levels associated with liver disease or hepatitis as this otherwise known as.

If you are eating a high-fat diet then it is never too late to change your lifestyle your liver is one of the most important organs within your body it does a awful lot of important functions some I dare say that you probably don’t even think about.

It really does pay to look after it because it is a important part of the digestive process livers don’t like to be overwhelmed with high toxins like sugar and fat and whatever may else be in today’s manufactured mutant frankenstein food.
