Fatty Liver & Fibrosure Testing
The article started by grabbing your attention!
Two thirds of American children and adults are overweight and often have abnormal liver tests.
This number is staggering! More:
30% of adults and 10% of children have non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) or NASH (non-alcoholic steatorrheic [fatty] hepatitis).
This number is also interesting! And I know I have a sweet tooth & I think a little over weight! Here is the truth, I weighed myself this morning - 5'9" - 188 lbs. According to the charts -
My BMI - 27.8, so and over 25 is overweight! So, what should I be for 5'9"? 168 pounds! TWENTY TO LOSE!
Some of the symptoms:
NAFLD means fat deposits in the liver with little to no alcohol intake. It starts with no symptoms but often involves fatigue, abdominal problems or gallbladder-like symptoms.
Well, some of this is me! So, first lose more weight! I have lost 10 pounds! Let's try for 10 more!
