世界上許多人患有脂肪肝。大約 30% 的人肝細胞中含有脂肪。
Main Body
Men get this disease more than women. Some thin people also have it. This happens because the body does not use sugar well. The body turns sugar into fat in the liver.
男性比女性更容易患上這種疾病。有些瘦的人也會患病。這是因為身體無法有效利用糖分，導致身體將糖分轉化為脂肪儲存在肝臟中。
Bad food causes this problem. Many children eat too much sugar and bad fats. Stress and bad sleep also make the liver sick. These things put too much fat in the body.
不良的飲食習慣會導致這個問題。許多兒童攝取過多的糖分和劣質脂肪。壓力與睡眠不足也會使肝臟生病。這些因素會使身體積聚過多脂肪。
Good food helps the liver. People should eat fish, plants, and healthy grains. Exercise also helps. Walking and lifting weights make the liver healthy again.
健康的飲食對肝臟有益。人們應該食用魚類、植物性食物和健康穀類。運動也能提供幫助，快走和重量訓練能讓肝臟恢復健康。

Fatty liver disease is a complex problem. It comes from food, stress, and genes. Doctors must look at health, not just body weight.
脂肪肝是一個複雜的問題。它源自飲食、壓力與基因。醫生必須關注整體健康，而非僅僅是體重。
