Whether you drink alcohol or not, fatty liver can creep up on you at any time. Fat obtained from fatty foods accumulates in the liver, making this problem more severe. Therefore, doctors advise adopting various dietary precautions when affected by fatty liver. They also recommend controlling the levels of bad cholesterol or LDL in the blood, as this is also responsible for fatty liver.

For those who drink alcohol, fatty liver is alcoholic. And those who don't go anywhere near alcohol are affected by non-alcoholic fatty liver. If you cannot control the fatty liver problem in time, it can later lead to cirrhosis of the liver. If caught in the early stages, the fatty liver problem can be easily controlled. Yoga instructors say that along with eating healthy food, regularly practicing a few asanas will also be beneficial.
