Patient's question:
I'm very busy with work, and there are often banquets to attend. It's hard to avoid overeating in these situations. Recently, I've been feeling unwell and went to the hospital for a check-up. The doctor said I have fatty liver disease. I can't understand how I could get this disease out of the blue. I'm very surprised and don't know what to do. Are there any dietary methods for treating fatty liver disease?Doctor's answer:
Dietary treatment is the most basic method of treating patients with fatty liver. Dietary recommendations include high protein, sufficient calories, low sugar, adequate fat, and sufficient vitamins, as well as digestible plant fiber and minerals. Avoid alcohol and eliminate bad eating habits. Maintaining an ideal weight and keeping blood sugar and blood lipids normal are possible. Weight loss should not be too fast and alcohol, especially beer, must be completely avoided: Although some cases of fatty liver have nothing to do with drinking beer, experts advise that once fatty liver is diagnosed, patients should absolutely abstain from alcohol. The reason is simple: an injured liver cannot process alcohol, and drinking beer will only accelerate the further deterioration of the liver.
