Nonalcoholic fatty liver, a disease tightly linked to the obesity crisis, is a strong risk factor for heart disease and Type 2 diabetes, and in severe cases it can lead to liver failure. The prevalence in the morbidly obese population has been estimated as 75-92%.Prevalence of NAFLD appears to be increasing, in part due to the increasing numbers of adult and pediatric individuals who are obese or overweight or have metabolic syndrome or type 2 diabetes, all major risk factors for development of NAFLD. Lifestyle, eating habit, and lack of physical activity, are the major causes, Diet plays very important role to reverse NAFLD. Few danger foods must avoid listed below.
