People are over indulging on food, leading sedentary lifestyles, and subseqquently they are pcking on the kilos!  Excessive intake of carbs and sugar will allow fat to accumulate around the abdomen area and that's where it is dangerous!  This accumulation of fat will put presure on the liver and alter its structure, and diminish its function.

By 2020 more people will have liver cirrhosis caused by non-alcoholic fatty liver disease than with hepatitis C and hepatitis B combined," says Dr Alex Hodge, a consultant gastroenterologist with Melbourne's Monash Medical Centre and Monash University.

So what do we do about it?

• We need to cut out refined carbs; ditch the chippies, shun white rice, bread, and pasta
• Cut-out sugar: become a label nazi and look for ingredients such as dextrose, muti-dextrose, high fructose corn syrup, and of course sugar
• Exercise more and change it ups a bit!  it doesn't have to be just running until you puke
