reasons behind fatty liver - #15285

Ayush

I am really worried about my health lately. My doctor said I might have fatty liver after some tests, and honestly, I didn’t even know what that was until then. I don’t drink much alcohol, maybe one or two drinks occasionally, but my diet hasn’t been very healthy. I’ve been eating a lot of fast food and stuff like that lately, working long hours and not exercising much. I keep reading about the reasons behind fatty liver, and I’m confused. I mean, are there other reasons behind fatty liver apart from just diet? Are genetics a factor, or is it mostly lifestyle choices? Some people suggest that even medications can be reasons behind fatty liver, which makes me worry about the medicine I take regularly. There’s also this talk about insulin resistance being linked to fatty liver, and I just feel like there's so much to unpack here. I really would like to understand the reasons behind fatty liver better and what I can do to change things before it gets worse. What should I be aware of, and what kind of changes can help? Any thoughts welcomed!
