Patient's question:
Because of work, I have been eating dinner outside year-round and drinking beer. My health has generally been fine, but recently, I've been reluctant to eat dinner. I didn't take it seriously, thinking it would improve in a few days. However, this has been going on for over ten days, and it's still the same. I went to the hospital, and they said it's fatty liver. Our whole family is very worried and upset.Doctor's answer:
You must maintain a regular three-meal diet. Avoid overeating, snacking, and eating a large dinner. It is not advisable to have a late-night snack before bed. Studies have shown that individuals with irregular eating patterns are more likely to gain weight compared to those who eat three regular meals, thereby increasing the risk of fatty liver disease. Adopt appropriate cooking methods. Consume as much vegetable oil as possible, with a daily intake not exceeding 20g; control your salt intake, ensuring it does not fall below 5–6g per day. For severe cases of fatty liver disease, it is recommended to seek medical attention promptly and follow the doctor's advice for timely treatment. Avoid using medication blindly to prevent worsening the condition.
