Patient's question:
Recently, I don't know why my mother-in-law keeps feeling a sharp pain in her chest and sometimes has the urge to vomit. Her appetite has been getting worse and worse. When she went to the hospital for a check-up, it was found that she suffers from fatty liver disease. Although her lifestyle is very healthy, she doesn't know why she got this disease.Doctor's answer:
Fatty liver refers to an inflammatory condition caused by various factors leading to excessive fat accumulation within liver cells. Fatty liver is a reversible disease, and early detection with active treatment, along with attention to self-regulation, can often lead to self-healing. When adjusting the dietary structure again, it is recommended to follow a high-protein, high-vitamin, low-salt, low-sugar, and low-fat diet. Consume or limit the intake of animal fats and sweets (including sugary beverages). Eat green vegetables, fruits, and fiber-rich foods, as well as high-protein lean meats, river fish, and soy products. Avoid snacks and refrain from eating extra meals before bedtime.
