Don't Eat Yourself To Death!

Fatty Liver Disease is a condition usually indicative of alcohol abuse, but it is now being associated with obesity as well. It's alarming that people who are overweight could be at risk of liver disease simply from overeating. Your liver will actually start to harden resulting in less function and ultimately resulting in serious health risks.

I know I've referred to "Supersize Me" the documentary before, but Morgan Spurlock who went on an all McDonald's diet for 30 days started to see the birth of fatty liver disease before the end of his fast food experiment. Just 30 days and the results of an unhealthy diet can be realized.

So if your someone who could use an overhaul in the diet arena don't wait because luckily much of the damage can be reversed. Below are pictures of a healthy liver and a diseased one. I'll let you make the distinction!
