What are the dietary taboos for liver disease?

Patient's question:

If you have liver disease, what are the things you need to pay attention to?

Doctor's answer:

Diet should be scientific. The diet for patients with chronic hepatitis should be based on high-protein plant foods, with less animal protein and fat. Eat more vegetables and fruits rich in vitamin C, such as spinach, apples, pineapples, etc. In addition, it is advisable to pair with foods high in vitamin K, such as green tea, radish tops, cabbage, lettuce, etc. Foods rich in vitamin E, such as sunflower seeds, almonds, peanuts, etc., are also suitable for pairing.
Traditional Chinese Medicine believes that the five flavors—sour, sweet, bitter, spicy, and salty—have their own affinities to the five internal organs. For example: sour enters the liver, bitter enters the heart, sweet enters the spleen, salty enters the kidneys, and spicy enters the lungs. Long-term preference for a single flavor will inevitably lead to the overactivity or deficiency of other internal organs, as well as an imbalance of nutrition between the organs.
