Patient's question:
I have always been quite overweight. Every year, the check-ups show that my blood pressure is slightly high. This year, they added another issue, saying I have fatty liver. Oh, the doctor said it's not very serious and doesn't require medication or treatment. But I know that if I continue like this, my health will be ruined. So, I want to know how to stabilize it.Doctor's answer:
Fatty liver refers to an inflammation caused by various reasons leading to excessive fat accumulation within liver cells. Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is a serious threat to the health of Chinese people, ranking as the third most prevalent liver disease after viral hepatitis, and has rightfully been identified as a common cause of hidden cirrhosis.Adopt a high-protein diet: A high-protein diet can provide choline, taurine, and other anti-fatty liver factors, which can convert fat into lipoproteins and transport it out of the liver, preventing fat infiltration in the liver. A sufficient high-protein diet can help reduce weight and stimulate metabolism. Animal products, eggs, dairy, and soy products are all suitable options.
