Patient's question:
My wife usually loves fatty meat and also enjoys drinking beer. As a result, after she turned fifty, her body became severely overweight. My son took her to the hospital for a check-up, where it was discovered that she has fatty liver and slightly high blood pressure. Now, we are strictly controlling her diet. The other day, a friend gave us some walnuts, and I wanted to consult about the taboos for people with fatty liver when consuming walnuts.Doctor's answer:
It is okay to eat walnuts if you have fatty liver. Peaches will have absolutely no impact. Peaches mainly contain linoleic acid and linolenic acid, and they are generally never likely to interfere with fatty liver. In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), fatty liver can be classified into types such as liver-spleen disharmony, liver-gallbladder damp-heat, and spleen deficiency with dampness excess, etc. It is essential to consult a TCM practitioner for a specific diagnosis and treatment plan. While undergoing TCM treatment, it is important to reduce the intake of fat and sugar, moderately digest protein, vitamins, and other nutrients, and engage in appropriate physical activity, all of which contribute to the complete recovery of the disease.Patients with fatty liver can, while understanding the principle of symptomatic treatment, use dietary therapy as a complementary treatment in daily life. It is crucial to avoid both extreme hunger and overeating in daily dietary habits and never indulge in binge eating.
