See the technical phrasing
Improved sleep quality is associated with a 29% reduction in the risk of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease.
When sleep is poor or too short, the body's internal clock gets out of sync, causing the liver to make more fat, stop burning fat properly, and become inflamed. This happens because the brain sends wrong signals to the liver, stress hormones rise, antioxidants drop, and the liver cells get damaged by toxic byproducts, leading to fat buildup and scarring.
