AIIMS ki recent study ne bataya hai ki as high as 38 percent indians have fatty liver and 35 percent children have fatty liver toh iske liye hum kya kar sakte hai? Get educated or ye karke aap apne liver ko bacha sakte hai.”
“(Up to 5 percent fat in your liver is normal, but when the fat content exceeds this, it leads to fatty liver, which can also lead to liver cirrhosis and liver failure. A recent study by AIIMS has revealed that as high as 38 percent of Indians have fatty liver, and 35 percent of children also suffer from fatty liver. So, what can we do about this? Get educated and by doing so, you can protect your liver.)”
Namita urged her followers to educate themselves about NAFLD, stressing the importance of early detection and preventive measures.
