Patient's question:
During annual health check-ups, I have never been found to have any problems, but this time during the health check-up, I was diagnosed with fatty liver disease, although it is mild. However, my wife is very worried that it may worsen significantly in the future. So, I would like to ask if there are any dietary precautions to take.Doctor's answer:
People with fatty liver should not blindly supplement, as patients with liver diseases are not advised to overconsume tonic herbs. A balanced diet is sufficient to provide adequate nutrition. People with fatty liver should not blindly supplement, as patients with liver diseases are not advised to overconsume tonic herbs. A balanced diet is sufficient to provide adequate nutrition. It is advisable to avoid excessive consumption of sweet foods and spicy, irritating foods. Excessive sugar or sweet foods can lead to a continuous increase in the production of metabolites such as pyruvate and lactic acid in the body. The liver has to work harder to completely eliminate these harmful substances, which can easily cause the liver to "overexert itself" and also lead to "neglecting other tasks," interfering with the metabolism of other nutrients, resulting in reduced appetite and malnutrition.
