How to cure fatty liver grade 2?

Have you been diagnosed with fatty liver grade 2, and wondering how to cure it? The good news is, there are several things you can do to reverse the damage and prevent it from progressing further. And we’re not talking about some magic pill that promises a quick fix (spoiler alert: those don’t exist). Here’s our guide on how to cure your fatty liver grade 2, in a way that doesn’t make you want to cry yourself into a coma.

What Is Fatty Liver Grade 2?

Let’s start at the beginning, shall we? Your liver isn’t just hanging out in there doing nothing – it has a pretty important job of filtering out toxins from your body. But sometimes, if you consume too much junk food or alcohol (or both), fat starts accumulating in your liver cells instead of being burnt off as energy (thanks for nothing metabolism).

When this happens, you get what’s called non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). It is divided into four grades depending on the severity of damage done; however grades one & two don’t often cause many symptoms (lucky us) but can lead up to more serious problems like cirrhosis or even cancer if ignored.

How Do You Know If You Have It?

Fatty liver disease typically flies under the radar until something else comes up during an unrelated test (like everything else wrong with my body wasn’t enough already). However, signs may include:

  • Elevated levels of alanine transaminase (ALT) and gamma-glutamyl transferase (GGT) enzymes.
  • Abdominal pain
  • Fatigue
  • Unintentional weight loss

If any of these sound familiar – consult with your doctor immediately!

Diet Fixes: Watch Your Carbs And Sugar Intake.

The first and foremost strategy in the fight against fatty liver disease is diet. It’s time to say goodbye to your best pals, McDonald’s and Coca-Cola (or at least reduce your visits) – things are about to change.

Decrease Your Carb Intake

Cutting down on carbs can help bring triglyceride levels (the type of fat that accumulates in liver cells) down. But before you mistake this with going full keto, know too much reduction below 130g/day may actually lead a deficiency of essential nutrients (like fiber).

If managing some math isn’t so much your forte (we hear ya!), then checking food labels for total carb consumption & spreading it throughout meals might be easier tactic instead.

Say No To Sugar

For those who have a sweet tooth, we’re sorry to inform you that excessive sugar intake can also play havoc with your liver (thanks again metabolism!). In general, up-to 10% of calories must come from sugars only; which equates around 48g/day on an average daily calorie requirement. So unless normal candy no longer make sense as ‘just’ one snack – look for more nutritious options.

Diet Fixes: Add Liver-friendly Foods

Switching gears into what you should eat rather than forbidding certain ones: there are plenty of foods out there that do good-liver wonders!

Leafy Greens

Veggies like spinach taste better than algae supplements anyway-Totally spinach-, especially if blended onto smoothies or sneakily stuffed inside omelets (because everything is delicious inside eggs, duh!). Their abundance in antioxidants helps fighting off damage from free-radicals causing inflammation resided within everyone else’s guilty pleasures like burgers & hot dogs- often consumed while working remotely?

So don’t shy away when Popeye says “eat me” next time!

Nuts And Seeds Are Good For You Too!

They might have a high calorie reputation but when consumed a handful at a time, they offer great nutritional punches; that too with healthy fats. Unlike potato chips or pizza and other junk foods you’re no longer allowed to enjoy (at least not as much), nuts pack vitamin E which helps prevent your liver from fatty degeneration.

Starting your day off with almond milk based smoothie bowl isn’t sounding so bad now is it?

Coffee Is Your New Best Friend

Never mind those who say coffee is bad for health (what do they know?)- research shows that some caffeine intake may can lower enzyme levels in blood indicating inflammation throughout one’s body (success!) . More generally speaking, regular caffeine consumption may also be associated with reducing the risk & severity of NAFLD (yes please).

But don’t go overboard- everything in moderation people!

Shed Some Pounds Too

Excess weight often goes hand-in-hand with NAFLD, so besides keeping an eye on the quality of food we consume – adopting lifestyle changes leading upto dropping even few kgs/bmi points worth would further alleviate damage done as well slowing down future accruals (can’t complain there!)^(1).

Fitness regimes masking themselves these days as Tiktok dance challenges or sweaty sessions while watching reality TV: anything works really! So long as its fun and burns calories instead (probably more beneficial than binge-watching series anyway).

Those little victories jogging stairs during Netflix binges weigh up eventually after all 🙂

Rounding It Up

Although considered benign until sometime ago – Fatty Liver Disease has snuck up into epidemic proportions without reaching awareness rates. However adapting necessary lifestyle adjustments to combat early stages like improving diet habits alongside increasing physical activities are rewarding ways preventing any future complications.

And though this self-quest might make us fantasize about scarfs large extra-cheese pizza’s tonight & every night-for once why not replace with healthier, more focused cravings instead? So long live spinach (and wholesome choices)!
