Recently, actor Mohsin Khan from the show “Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai” shared some worrying news about his health. He revealed that last year, he had a minor heart attack caused by a fatty liver. This revelation has concerned his fans.

In an interview with Pinkvilla, Mohsin explained that he developed a fatty liver, which led to his minor heart attack last year. He mentioned that he didn’t tell anyone at first, but the condition worsened over time. He was hospitalized for a while and underwent treatment, visiting 2-3 hospitals. Fortunately, his condition is now under control.

The Connection Between Fatty Liver and Heart Disease

Mohsin Khan’s case highlights that fatty liver can significantly increase the risk of heart-related issues. Liver disease is often associated with alcohol consumption, but fatty liver can develop in anyone, even those who don’t drink. It is commonly caused by poor diet and lifestyle choices, leading to fat accumulation in the liver. This buildup of fat can result in serious heart-related diseases.

When fat accumulates in the liver, it can interfere with insulin production. This can cause inflammation in the liver and problems with lipid metabolism, leading to serious conditions such as atherosclerosis, high blood pressure, and other heart diseases. What’s especially concerning is that lifestyle habits can worsen these conditions. Poor diet, lack of physical activity, and insufficient sleep can all contribute to fatty liver disease. For example, a lack of sleep can affect metabolism, leading to more fat accumulation in the liver.

It’s important for people to understand that maintaining a healthy lifestyle, improving sleep patterns, and following a good diet can significantly reduce the risk of many diseases, including liver-related conditions.
