Fatty liver stage 1 refers to the initial stage of the NAFLD, i.e., Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver Disease. The condition leads to the accumulation of about 5% to 10% i.e., a small amount of fat inside the liver cells. NAFLD stage 1 has become a common problem among the young generation in India.
The statistics further highlighted an increase in fatty liver stage 1 cases among the working professionals and youngsters in Delhi and other metropolitan cities. The problem is that many people with stage 1 fatty liver are of normal weight but have compromised metabolic health.
Adverse Effects of Untreated Fatty Liver Stage 1
Fatty liver stage 1 is a type of metabolic time bomb. Accordingly, if you leave it untreated, the disease may progress to NASH, i.e., nonalcoholic steatohepatitis, fibrosis or scarring, and severe scarring or cirrhosis. In some cases, cirrhosis may cause the liver to function properly, cause liver cancer, or liver failure. In other cases, an untreated stage 1 fatty liver needs a transplant or increases the risk of heart disease and diabetes.
Key Changes to Reverse Fatty Liver Stage 1
Many young people with fatty liver stage 1 may reverse their condition or at least manage their underlying symptoms with guidance from our Luvita Nutrition experts. For this, we suggest you undergo a few key lifestyle changes, which include following a healthy diet, limiting alcohol intake, and engaging in physical exercise.
Our nutritionists in Delhi always recommend that NAFLD patients follow a balanced diet comprised of whole grains, leafy vegetables, fruits, lean proteins, and healthy fats. Simultaneously, patients must avoid sugary beverages and keep themselves hydrated with water and other essential fluids.

Fatty liver stage 1 associated with NAFLD is highly reversible and usually within a few weeks to about 2-4 months.
