8 Worst Foods For Fatty Liver And Insulin Resistance
Fatty liver disease is a growing epidemic, affecting up to 25% of people globally. It occurs when too much fat accumulates in the liver, initially causing no obvious symptoms. While having some fat in your liver is normal, when it starts to make up more than 5-10% of your liver's weight, it becomes a serious problem. If left unchecked, this excess fat buildup can lead to serious problems like cirrhosis, liver cancer, and complete liver failure.
What makes it even more dangerous is that fatty liver disease rarely occurs in isolation. Its development and progression are closely connected to other chronic diseases like type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and kidney problems.
Genetics may play a role in the development of fatty liver disease, but the truth is that of fatty liver disease.
But the good news is that you can take control of your liver health by avoiding the worst dietary offenders and making some better food swaps starting today.
In this video, I discuss the 8 absolute worst foods for your liver that you should limit or eliminate from your diet.

Why does it give you shingles? Is it possible to get shingles more than once? Is L-Arginine supplement worth the risk?

You have not factored in the bioavailability of this substance. If you can absorb more than 10% via oral consumption that would be generous. However, it is the height of poor research to not understand the bioavailability of a substance after it has passed through the digestive system; So, your dosage recommendations are moot. To absorb 200 mg of this substance you might have to take about 800 mg. This is on a per individual basis because we are all biochemically unique.
This medication is hard on the body and makes you feel like crap, it depletes your electrolytes not just sodium. It can cause your mental health to decline. It can cause higher blood sugars. Taking this medication I could not lose weight because of the high blood sugars. It makes you crave sugar at an alarming rate because your body isn’t holding on to electrolytes so your kidneys want the sugar to try and hold on to some electrolytes. This medication made me sun light sensitive and itchy. Lastly I was getting sciatica and chronic back pain from it, the electrolytes help stimulate your nerves and nervous system thus being low in them can cause so many issues. Electrolyte deficiency can cause chronic cortisol elevation. I had extremely low libido and could not hold an erection, also it exacerbated my ADHD to where I couldn’t concentrate on the slightest thing for more than a few minutes, low electrolytes can cause neurotransmitter disruption thus making my ADHD worse. Lastly this medication increased my heart rate I was always tachycardic my heart rate just after a simple walk would be 110-130 my resting heart rate would always be high 90s-100. This medication is so harsh, and I had no clue it was this medication causing me so many health problems, my Dr never explained any of this to me. What I did was up my magnesium via supplement with magnesium glycinate and ate potassium rich foods, and my BP normalized within a week. I’ll never take a diuretic again.
Thank you! Very helpful.
Good morning Pharm. Kwaku Please my daughter 27 years takes Lirife N tablets, l don't know why. But just yesterday she was rushed home from a friend's house that she had seizures twice within 30 seconds and was later hallucinating. Please what is the cause of this ? She refused saying anything
Aspirin and plavix are they not doing the same work just asking
MY bp is high for 3yrs now.160/114. The doctor told me i have kidney infection ckd egfr60.i spoke to a pharmacist and told me to take my nifecard 30mg when I'm going to bed.i started seeing slight changes 140/95. Now i can sleep well well.i don't feel any headache anymore. I am still fighting it to come down
The lower blood pressure is a big problem for me. The rest is ok and it helps.
Then what is the best HBP medication to take for people with ckd.
Plus the jardiance did nothing but constantly increase the blood sugar level to much higher levels .Which I did not have prior to taking this med .
I was on this stupid drug for over two months .and got tired of having to pee much more than I normally had before . Plus the constant hunger .so when the prescription ran out ,I did not get it refilled . And just used the glipedize I was prescribed instead .
Does not work for me..i tried fresh,powdered,chews etc and nothing works..
It’s all a lie😢 see link below

Greetings from Barbados. Thank you so much for the information.
Great video thank you. I just want to point out that doctors aren’t always “him”. There are many female doctors too so it’s best to say ‘them’ as it’s not a gender specific profession :)). Thank you again !
Beet root extract?
I was transmitted to the hospital last night for very weak legs and was struggling to stand up. It felt like extra gravity was weighing down on me or something and felt like a sharp tingling sensation and numbness on my legs and my entire muscles were weak too like something was pinning me down. I was scared that I might not be able to walk again, and end up being crippled in a wheel chair for the rest of my life! So I was informed by my doctor, it was low potassium that was causing it and they inject potassium fluid in me and few hours later, I fully regain strength on my legs and recovered! Thank goodness! So, moving forward I am going to consume foods that are rich in potassium such as Bananas for my diet. Also, I like to mention I am diagnosed with cancer Leukemia and have read that chemo damages the nerves causing weakness. Any insight on that?
Does the nausea go away? This is horrible. Ugh
Very informative. I did not know about taking this on an empty stomach. Thank you for telling me this.

Interesting - I had always thought it was the diastolic number I needed to worry about and that the systolic is the number that changes according to what you're doing - eg taking exercise will raise it, getting stressed will raise it etc etc.
Thank you so much God bless you always
You’re welcome. God bless you too.

L arginine supplement is safe for low pressure patient's
Will be a good idea to check with your doctor, depending on how low your blood pressure is. You want to avoid a situation where your blood pressure goes too low to the point where you experience lightheadedness and even fainting. All the best.
Thanks for this info!
My pleasure.
