    # Feeling Tired All the Time or Experiencing Bloating? It Might Be Your Liver.

    If you’re living in a city like Jaipur and often feel sluggish, bloated, or notice weight gain despite not eating more, it might be time to check your liver health. At Apex Hospitals, we’ve seen a sharp rise in cases of fatty liver disease, especially among working professionals and young adults.

    Urban habits like irregular meals, sedentary jobs, processed foods, and late-night stress are fuelling an epidemic of liver issues—often silently. This blog explains what fatty liver is, the warning signs, how we diagnose and treat it at Apex Hospitals, and how you can stay liver-healthy.

What Is Fatty Liver Disease?

    The liver filters toxins, regulates blood sugar/cholesterol, and processes food and drink. But excess fat in liver cells can impair these functions. This is called fatty liver.

    Types of Fatty Liver Disease:

    Even people with normal body weight are being diagnosed with fatty liver, particularly in India. NAFLD is now more common than diabetes in some urban regions and can progress to cirrhosis or liver cancer if untreated.

Symptoms You Might Experience

    Most people with fatty liver have no early symptoms. Watch out for:

  • Constant fatigue or low energy
  • Upper-right abdominal discomfort
  • Belly fat or unexplained weight gain
  • Nausea, poor appetite
  • Bloating or indigestion
  • Yellow skin/eyes (jaundice in severe cases)
  • Difficulty losing weight

What Causes Fatty Liver Disease?

    1. Modern Diets & Processed Foods

    High intake of sugar, refined carbs, and trans fats has replaced traditional Indian meals.

    2. Sedentary Lifestyle

    Desk jobs and low physical activity reduce calorie burn and promote fat buildup in the liver.

    4. Genetic Susceptibility

    South Asians are genetically predisposed to fat around internal organs, increasing NAFLD risk.

    6. Alcohol

    While NAFLD isn’t alcohol-related, rising alcohol use increases AFLD cases.

    “Most urban cases we see are silent NAFLD. Early diagnosis helps us reverse it before it progresses.”
