Avoid sugar for Fatty Liver (Hepatic Steatosis)

It is recommended to avoid sweets and added sugars because they are harmful to liver health as they contribute directly to fat accumulation in the liver. When you consume high amounts of sugar, especially fructose (found in many sweetened beverages and processed foods), the liver converts it into fat. Over time, this process can lead to the development of fatty liver disease, even in people who are not overweight.

In addition, excessive sugar intake is linked to insulin resistance, which further exacerbates liver fat buildup. Reducing or eliminating sweets and sugary foods from your diet helps prevent fat accumulation in the liver, supports overall liver function, and reduces the risk of developing or worsening fatty liver disease.
