Patient's question:
Female, 4 years old, I've been feeling that my child has been a bit dizzy lately. After checking, it was said that she has malnutrition. I'm asking what to eat for fatty liver caused by malnutrition.Doctor's answer:
Fatty liver should consume more fresh fruits and vegetables in diet, which is beneficial for dietary and calorie control. In terms of fruit selection, fatty liver is suitable for eating low-sugar and beneficial fruits such as apples, Chinese pear, walnuts, grapes, hawthorn, etc. These fruits help regulate cholesterol, protect the liver, and lower fat levels. Fresh fruits also contain water, vitamins, fiber, and minerals, which are beneficial for the body when consumed in moderation. However, some fruits with high sugar content, such as bananas, pineapples, raisins, and watermelon, should be avoided by fatty liver patients, as excessive consumption can lead to prolonged diarrhea, resulting in blood sugar and blood lipid drops, and even worsening of the condition. Additionally, fatty liver patients can consume vegetables like radishes, cucumbers, and tomatoes as alternatives to fruits when necessary.
