Can fatty liver be treated with dietary therapy?

Patient's question:

My husband suffers from fatty liver. It was discovered during his health check-up in the past, but it wasn't serious at that time. The doctor then advised him to have a much lighter diet. However, my husband is a meat lover, so he can't control his diet at all. In the past two days, it has become a bit more serious, and he has been experiencing nausea. I want to try a dietary approach to manage it.

Doctor's answer:

Fatty liver refers to an inflammation caused by various reasons leading to excessive fat accumulation in liver cells. Fatty liver disease is a serious threat to the health of Chinese people. Patients with fatty liver should eat more vegetables, and those who cannot follow a vegetarian diet should avoid heavy oil foods. Patients with fatty liver disease should not eat foods high in fat and cholesterol. Egg yolks should not be consumed as they contain rich cholesterol. The daily treatment for fatty liver patients mainly involves medication. Patients can take many oral medications, combined with various vitamins, and pay attention to self-care, proper diet, and avoid cold foods. We hope fatty liver patients can recover as soon as possible! Thank you!
