Liver is a vital organ of the body, so it is very important to keep it healthy and fit. There are various causes responsible for liver disorders like too much consumption of alcohol, and unhygienic and unhealthy intake of food, which are characterized by symptoms such as paleness, stomach ache, weakness or nausea. In a healthy body, the liver helps to remove toxins and produces bile to maintain digestion. Some amount of fat is required in the liver but when the fat content is too high in the liver the condition is termed fatty liver. In this condition, a diet that contains low-fat, less calorie, complex carbohydrates, high-fiber, and protein can reduce the risk of complications and help in rapid healing.
