Doctor Jed Warns: 4 Things to Stop to Prevent Fatty Liver
Dr. Jed Boonawongwirot, Deputy Director of Primary Care at Maharat Nakhon Ratchasima Hospital, shared crucial advice about preventing fatty liver disease on his Facebook page. He emphasizes that fatty liver isn't just caused by alcohol, but often develops silently without warning signs, only discovered through blood tests showing elevated liver enzymes.
He recommends stopping 4 key behaviors:
1. Reduce frequent sugar consumption, especially fructose from sweet drinks, milk tea, and packaged juices
2. Eliminate bad fats and avoid excessive good fats
3. Stop sitting for long periods after meals without movement
4. Stop believing that 'no alcohol' automatically means a healthy liver
"Fatty liver doesn't warn before developing. Small daily behaviors are the key trigger. Stop eating sweets, stop overeating, stop being sedentary after meals, and stop being complacent about liver health," Dr. Jed advised, emphasizing the importance of proactive liver care to prevent chronic inflammation and future complications.
