The liver is one of the organs that can be most affected by inadequate lifestyle habits. In other words, excess alcoholic beverages, a poor diet or poor sleep can cause liver damage as well known as cirrhosis, which sometimes become chronic.
Furthermore, according to new research published in the Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism of the American Endocrine Society, people with sedentary lifestyles and unhealthy sleep behaviors may develop fatty liver disease.
It should be noted that fatty liver disease is the main chronic liver disease worldwide and affects a quarter of the adult population. In addition, this type of liver disease is favored by metabolic disorders such as obesity and type 2 diabetes.
Fortunately, there are some natural products that can help regenerate the liver when it is not seriously damaged. However, it is recommended to consult a hepatologist to treat the disease in the most effective way, since these remedies are only a complement.
