These everyday habits could turn 'fatty liver' into cancer: How to stop it now?
Fatty liver disease , recently reclassified as metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD), is emerging as one of the world's fastest-growing health threats. Once dismissed as a minor condition, it now affects one in three adults globally, according to The Times of India. The condition develops when excess fat accumulates in the liver, and while it can remain symptomless in early stages, untreated cases may progress to liver scarring, cirrhosis , or even cancer. Independence Day 2025 Modi signals new push for tech independence with local chips Before Trump, British used tariffs to kill Indian textile Bank of Azad Hind: When Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose gave India its own currency Why This Silent Disease Matters The MD Anderson Cancer Center warns that MASLD can escalate into metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (MASH), a severe form marked by inflammation and cell damage. MASH significantly raises the risk of liver fibrosis and hepatocellular carcinoma , the most common type of liver cancer. What makes the disease alarming is its stealthy nature—many patients show no symptoms until serious damage has already occurred. Three Habits That Worsen Fatty Liver Experts highlight three everyday lifestyle choices that can silently push fatty liver from a reversible condition to a dangerous one: by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Play this game for 1 minute and see why everyone is crazy about it Poor Diet Choices Diets high in sugar, refined carbs, and ultra-processed foods such as sodas, chips, biscuits, and fast food accelerate fat buildup in the liver. Nutritionists recommend shifting to a Mediterranean diet , rich in vegetables, whole grains, nuts, olive oil, and fish, which has been shown to reduce liver fat. Sedentary Lifestyle Long hours of sitting and minimal movement reduce the liver's ability to process fat efficiently. Doctors suggest at least 150 minutes of moderate exercise or 75 minutes of intense physical activity weekly. Simple habits like taking stairs or walking during phone calls can also support liver health . Underlying Health Conditions Conditions such as obesity, type 2 diabetes, and high cholesterol heighten the risk of fatty liver progression. Addressing these through weight management, improved sleep quality, and regular medical monitoring is key to prevention. Early Warning Signs to Watch For Because fatty liver is often called a 'silent disease', identifying symptoms can be tricky. Some possible indicators include fatigue, discomfort in the upper right abdomen, elevated liver enzymes during routine tests, and an enlarged liver seen in imaging scans. Doctors emphasize that early detection through screenings is vital, especially for those in high-risk groups. iStock Because fatty liver is often called a 'silent disease', identifying symptoms can be tricky.

The good news is that fatty liver, especially in its early stage, is largely reversible. Losing just 5 to 10 percent of body weight can significantly reduce liver fat. Interestingly, research highlighted in The Times of India shows that even coffee consumption may reduce fatty liver risk due to its antioxidant properties. Health experts caution that the global spike in fatty liver cases reflects deeper societal habits: processed diets, urban sedentary lifestyles, and rising metabolic disorders. Without intervention, MASLD could become a leading cause of liver transplants and liver cancer in the coming decades. Stopping fatty liver in its tracks is possible. The prescription is simple yet powerful: eat mindfully, move more, manage metabolic health, and get screened regularly. Doctors insist that your liver's future health depends less on expensive treatments and more on everyday choices made today.

Delhi toddler turned away from hospital after stray dog bite as anti-rabies vaccine unavailable despite SC orders
Just three days after the Supreme Court directed authorities to ensure prompt treatment for dog-bite victims and maintain sufficient anti-rabies vaccine (ARV) stocks, a 22-month-old girl was reportedly turned away from Dr Hedgewar Aarogya Sansthan in Delhi on Thursday night after being scratched by a stray dog, reported TOI.

The family then proceeded to Guru Teg Bahadur (GTB) Hospital, where staff told them to return the next morning. The child eventually received the first ARV dose on Friday morning, nearly 12 hours after the incident, with a second dose scheduled for August 18. Live Events Vaccine shortages A senior Hedgewar Hospital official told the media outlet that ARV supplies had been requested three months ago from the central procurement agency, with delivery expected next week. A GTB official added that while vaccines are available 24/7, they would investigate why the child could not receive treatment overnight. The Supreme Court's August 11 order stressed on immediate treatment for bite victims, public disclosure of vaccine stocks, creation of helplines, and sterilization and vaccination of stray dogs within 6–8 weeks. Thursday's incident highlights the gap between court directives and reality on the ground, stressing the urgent need for better stock monitoring and timely access to lifesaving vaccines across Delhi's hospitals
