Patient's question:
My cousin is 35 years old this year. He comes from a well-off family and is the only child, so he is spoiled and never has to do anything. This has led to his weight reaching nearly 250 pounds. Last month, he went to the doctor for a check-up and was diagnosed with fatty liver disease, which is likely related to his daily habit of eating fried chicken. Will we get this disease too?Doctor's answer:
First, it is necessary to reduce calorie intake, with the goal of achieving a standard body weight, ensuring that energy expenditure is lower than energy intake. Daily routines should be regular. The lives of liver disease patients should follow the rhythm of the human biological clock. Meals, deep sleep, exercise, rest, and adequate work and physical activity should all follow a certain pattern, step by step, and become habitual. Orderliness will create additional conditioned reflexes in the cerebral cortex, ensuring that internal organs work in an orderly manner and promoting the normalization of liver function. Fatty liver disease has a very significant impact on patients. Once symptoms are detected, it is important to seek medical attention promptly, while also paying close attention to self-care, such as eating more vegetables and fruits.
