Patient's question:
When I was young, I always had hepatitis and alcoholic liver disease. I used to drink too much beer, but usually, I didn't feel much pain or discomfort, so I never actively sought treatment. Recently, I've been feeling pain in my liver area. After a check-up, I found out it's liver cirrhosis, but thankfully, it's still in the early stages.Doctor's answer:
Diet for Patients with Cirrhosis1. Fresh Fruits and Vegetables Intake: Appropriately increasing the intake of fruits and vegetables not only helps maintain a balanced intake of various vitamins and minerals but is also beneficial for reducing appetite and alleviating symptoms such as physical fatigue in cirrhosis patients.
2. High-Vitamin Diet: Consume sufficient minerals. In daily diet, it is recommended to include foods rich in zinc and magnesium, such as lean pork, beef, lamb, fish, as well as leafy vegetables, peas, and dairy products.
3. Eat More High-Protein Foods
4. Eat Less Low-Sodium Diet. In addition to treating cirrhosis, it is advised that patients pay attention to their diet in daily life and maintain a cheerful mood to enhance physical fitness and slow down the recovery process.
