Unhealthy foods strain liver cells and cause fat buildup, expert warns

Medical researcher Fahd Al-Khudairi has warned about the impact of unhealthy foods on liver cell stress and fat accumulation.

Writing on his account on the X platform, Al-Khudairi explained that foods high in saturated fats and sugars can strain liver cells and cause fat to build up in the liver, leading to elevated liver enzyme levels.

He pointed out that foods and drinks that harm liver enzymes include fried foods, margarine, and butter, as these increase fat accumulation in the liver. Sugary foods and desserts also contribute to this effect.

Al-Khudairi added that soft drinks and sweetened beverages raise blood sugar levels and further stress liver cells. He also noted that alcohol is among the most damaging factors for liver cells and a major cause of elevated liver enzymes.
