|
BOISE, Idaho, Feb. 21, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- The Fatty Liver Foundation joins with Amsety to help teach people about their risk of having liver disease by using an online screener which helps the user understand their risk then invites them to nominate three friends to take the test by blowing them a kiss in a short video. The Kiss and Click Challenge is a way for people learn more about their health and to encourage people they care about to do the same. Fatty liver disease is epidemic in America. An estimated 100 million people have fatty livers but don't know it. Wayne Eskridge, the CEO of the Foundation said "The shocking thing is if you have two friends one of you has a fatty liver." Eskridge continued, "Liver disease is usually silent, it often has no symptoms until you face a life threatening diagnosis of cirrhosis." The early stages of the disease are called non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, NAFLD. As the disease progresses and begins to cause scarring of the liver it is called non-alcoholic steatohepatitis, NASH. The end stage of NASH is called cirrhosis which is a very serious medical condition. The Fatty Liver Foundation is a non-profit patient advocacy group dedicated to providing education and support to patients suffering from liver disease and seeking to educate the millions of at risk people. NAFLD and NASH are a silent epidemic that is largely unknown to the public and not screened for by the medical profession. To learn more got to the website www.fattyliverfoundation.org. Amsety is the manufacturer of the only nutrition bar specifically designed to support liver health and the liver health score test was developed by Amsety's liver health experts. The online score is calculated based on a series of questions and indicates how liver-healthy a person's lifestyle is. It is not a medical test but provides a measure of the general habits and lifestyle elements promoting long term liver health. The Liver Health Score is a tool for anyone with the goal of improving their liver health by making more knowledgeable lifestyle choices. Anyone interested in joining the challenge is encouraged to determine their Liver Health Score at www.amsety.com/liver-health-score and post a video on their social media, with the hashtags #kissandclick and #livermatters, and nominating three friends to do the same. The participants are also encouraged to donate to the Fatty Liver Foundation. Media Contact:
