Patient's question:
My husband has been drinking beer at long dinner parties for a long time, and his alcohol tolerance has been getting worse. He gets drunk and tired easily and often has a bloated stomach, especially discomfort in the liver area. After a thorough medical examination, he was diagnosed with moderate fatty liver disease. I'm very worried and want to find a good treatment for my husband.Doctor's answer:
Treatment for moderate fatty liver should start with dietary control. Do not overeat, and avoid binge eating. Eat until you are 90% full at each meal. The principle should be weight loss, paying attention to proper dietary nutrition. It is recommended to follow a high-protein, low-sugar, and low-fat diet, avoiding or limiting animal fat and sweets, refusing alcohol, eating more vegetables, and consuming sufficient fruits (some fruits contain high sugar). Avoid snacks and do not have extra meals before bed.For moderate fatty liver, there are important dietary considerations:
1. Strictly limit alcohol intake but do not need to completely avoid meat.
2. Eat two liang of grains per meal and do not act like a wastebasket.
3. Include three servings of high-protein foods (one liang of lean meat, one egg, and two liang of tofu).
