Most people are unaware of this, as fatty liver disease does not only develop in individuals who carry excess weight. However, the fatty infiltration of the liver is by no means as harmless as it is still perceived by some doctors. Not only is the organ itself at risk, as the fat accumulation promotes inflammation, cirrhosis, and tumors, but the risk of diabetes, heart attacks, strokes, and kidney diseases is also dramatically increased. New findings show that the risk of disease does not depend on how much weight someone carries, but rather on how fatty the liver and other organs are. The good news is that this dangerous development can be quickly and relatively easily reversed. In fact, a two-week special liver fasting program is sufficient to significantly relieve the liver and metabolism.
