This increases the risk of liver cirrhosis, fatty liver and other serious diseases.
3. Consumption of too much sugar – Many people consume more of sugar drinks, sweets and processed foods. The fructose present in it is directly metabolized by the liver and produces the condition of fatty liver in the body. This is a major cause of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), which is growing rapidly in India and if not focused on time, it can turn into cirrhosis or liver cancer.
4. Protein deficiency is also harmful – Protein is necessary for liver repair and detox process.
