Obesity and a Fatty Liver

I've heard about fatty liver over the last year or so and only glanced at a couple of articles - but Cindy caught my eye here with a blog post to an article from MedicineNet.com "Body Fat, the Silent Killer". The two MD's from MedicineNet report, "the BMI correlates with the degree of liver damage, that is, the greater the BMI the greater the liver damage".
We see a lot of high BMI's through our place. Yesterday I had my first person say their doctor had given them a liver cleans. It was very validating to me to hear from another person that their doctor had recommended the cleans.
The interesting thing with fatty liver is there are not always symptoms, but that it elevates enzymes in the blood. So fatty liver is discovered when routine blood tests show elevated levels of liver enzymes (ALT and AST) in the blood. According to MedicineNet, "Doctors and public health officials project that obesity related liver diseases will become the leading cause of liver failure and liver transplantation in the not too distant future."
The bottom line, however, is that the single most effective treatment for obese people with Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver is to simply lose weight through diet and exercise. That's where Thin&Healthy can help. Our program is founded on the three pillars of the Total Solution: Healthy Foods Education, Metabolism Retraining, and Motivation.
