Preventing and Reversing Acidic Fatty Liver
Fatty liver occurs when excess acids are bound to fat which accumulates inside liver cells to protect it from excess metabolic and dietary acids. This means normal, healthy liver tissue becomes partly replaced with fatty tissue to protect against the acidic waste products of lifestyle and diet.
The acidic fat starts to increase in the liver, gradually infiltrating the healthy liver areas, so that less and less healthy liver tissue remains.
The acidic fatty liver has a yellow greasy appearance and is often enlarged and swollen with fat. This acidic fatty infiltration slows down the metabolism of body fat stores, which means that the liver burns fat less efficiently, resulting in weight gain and inability to lose weight. However some people can have a fatty liver without being overweight.
Acidic fatty liver is a reversible condition and often has no symptoms and does not cause any permanent damage.
The liver is the second largest organ in the body. The liver’s function is to process everything we eat or drink and filter any harmful substances from the blood. The liver commonly repairs itself within six weeks by rebuilding new liver cells when the old ones are damaged. When there is repeated damage to the liver, permanent scarring takes place. This is called cirrhosis.
Most cases of acidic fatty liver are detected between ages 40 and 60. When acidic fatty liver is caused by an underlying condition, it can become harmful to the liver if the cause is not recognized and treated.
There are typically no symptoms of fatty liver. Some people experience fatigue or vague abdominal discomfort. The liver may become slightly enlarged—which will be noticed by the doctor thorough a physical exam.
If the liver has become inflamed, there may be other symptoms, such as poor appetite, weight loss, and feeling extremely weak, sick, or tired.
The most common cause of a fatty liver is alcoholism. Almost all heavy drinkers have acidic fatty liver disease due to severe metabolic acidosis. Other causes are toxins, certain drugs, and inherited metabolic disorders. In many cases, doctors are not exactly sure what causes acidic fatty liver in people who aren’t alcoholics, but it has been associated with high blood cholesterol, obesity, and type 2 diabetes.  All of these symptoms are also caused by an increase of dietary and/or metabolic acids that are NOT properly removed via the four channels of elimination which are respiration, perspiration, defecation and/or urination.
Acidc fatty liver develops when the body creates too much fat or cannot eliminate acidic waste products from diet and/or metabolism. As a result, the leftover acid is stored in liver cells where it accumulates to become acidic fatty liver disease. . There are different types of fatty liver:
