News Topical, Digital Desk : Fatty liver was once considered a disease of only alcohol drinkers, but now the situation has changed. Yes, today this problem is being seen even in small children. Research shows that about 10% of children are getting affected by non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. The question is why is this happening?
Poison hidden in children's plate
We think that by feeding cereals, yogurt or granola bars to children, we are making them healthy, but the truth is that they contain high fructose corn syrup, i.e. sweet poison. As soon as it enters the body, it reaches the liver directly and turns into fat. Gradually, the liver stops reacting to the insulin hormone and it becomes difficult to process sugar.
It is important to pay attention to the early symptoms
When there is more pressure on the liver, children start feeling tired. Sometimes drowsiness or weakness is seen immediately after eating. Dark spots on the neck can also be a sign of this. If this is not taken care of in time, then later on children may develop diabetes, PCOD/PCOS, thyroid and other hormonal problems.
Easy ways to prevent fatty liver
- Avoid packed juices: Feed your child real fruits instead of bottled juices. Real fruits contain fibre and natural sugars, which are healthy.
- Provide fiber-rich foods: Include whole grains, vegetables, and pulses in your child's diet. Fiber helps balance blood sugar and control hunger.
- Develop healthy eating habits. Focus on a nutritious, balanced diet instead of snacking frequently every two hours.
Why is awareness important?
Unfortunately, many doctors do not pay attention to a serious problem like fatty liver at the initial stage. This is why the family and parents themselves have to be cautious. If the eating habits of children are improved from today, then they can avoid serious diseases tomorrow.
