**Fatty Liver: Causes, Symptoms & Treatment**
Fatty liver disease (hepatic steatosis) happens when excess fat builds up in the liver. It’s often linked to obesity, poor diet, diabetes, and heavy alcohol use.

**Types**

* **NAFLD**: Not alcohol-related; common in people with obesity, diabetes, or high cholesterol.
* **AFLD**: Caused by excessive alcohol consumption.

**Symptoms**
Often silent, but may include fatigue, abdominal discomfort, and elevated liver enzymes. In severe cases, it can lead to liver damage or cirrhosis.

**Prevention & Management**

* **Lose weight** (5–10% can help)
* **Eat healthy** (cut sugar, refined carbs, and processed food)
* **Exercise regularly**
* **Avoid alcohol**
* **Control diabetes and cholesterol**

**Helpful Home Remedies**
Green tea, turmeric, coffee, and milk thistle may support liver health (check with your doctor first).

**See a Doctor If**
You have risk factors, ongoing symptoms, or abnormal liver test results. Early intervention can prevent serious complications.
