Habit #6: Consuming Trans Fats and Ultra-Processed Foods
What Makes Them Dangerous
Ultra-processed foods contain:
- Trans fats
- Refined oils
- Artificial additives
- Excess sodium
- Hidden sugars
These ingredients promote inflammation and fat accumulation in the liver.
Common Culprits
- Fast food
- Fried foods
- Packaged snacks
- Margarine
- Frozen meals
These foods overwhelm the liver’s detoxification capacity.
Habit #7: Poor Sleep and Chronic Stress
The Sleep–Liver Connection
Poor sleep disrupts hormones that regulate appetite, blood sugar, and fat storage.
Chronic stress increases cortisol, which promotes fat accumulation in the liver.
Effects Include
- Increased insulin resistance
- Higher blood sugar
- Greater appetite for sugary foods
- Slower liver repair
Sleep deprivation has been strongly linked to NAFLD.
