#Nutrition and #Liver Questions
Description
This week on YOUR HEALTH FIRST, we had the pleasure of interviewing 2 new team members of LIVER SPECIALISTS OF TEXAS.
Lauren McNamara, registered dietitian along with Natalie Amante, physician assistant, sat down and spoke with DR. JOE GALATI regarding the role of nutrition, obesity, and metabolic syndrome in the eventual development, and reversal, of non alcoholic fatty liver disease. Fatty liver disease is the leading cause of chronic inflammation of the liver, the leading cause of cirrhosis and liver cancer, and the leading disease of the liver that ultimately results in the need for a liver transplant.
The vast majority of the cases of fatty liver disease are a direct result of obesity, type 2 diabetes, high cholesterol or triglycerides, and hypertension. Collectively these disorders are called metabolic syndrome.
