Patient's question:
Patients with fatty liver cannot eat too greasy foods, so is it just the opposite that eating more vegetables and fruits is beneficial to the stability of the condition? I don't know if my inference is correct, please guide me, doctor.Doctor's answer:
Fatty liver refers to liver disease caused by the accumulation of neutral fat due to impaired fat metabolism. Under normal circumstances, fat accounts for 5% of the liver's total weight. If it is below 30%, it is considered early and mild fatty liver. During this stage, patients do not exhibit particularly obvious symptoms, and the fatification of liver cells can be reversed through treatment and dietary restrictions. Generally, mild to moderate fatty liver does not require medication. Increasing the intake of vegetables and fruits, drinking more water, reducing the consumption of high-fat foods such as fatty meat or animal organs, and enhancing physical exercise are usually sufficient. Additionally, during the treatment period, the dietary condition and care of patients with fatty liver are also very important. Patients must ensure adequate vitamin intake, prevent stomach issues, and maintain a light diet to avoid unnecessary harm.
