What should I do about alcoholic liver disease and fatty liver disease?Doctor's answer:
Identify the cause and take targeted measures. For example, long-term heavy drinkers should abstain from alcohol. Individuals with nutritional excess and obesity should strictly control their diet to restore physical health. Diabetic patients with fatty liver should actively and effectively manage their blood sugar. Patients with malnutrition-related fatty liver should appropriately enhance their nutrition, especially protein and vitamin intake. In summary, removing the underlying cause is essential for curing fatty liver.Secondly, restructure the diet, advocating a high-protein, high-vitamin, low-sugar, and low-fat diet. Avoid or limit animal fats and sweets (including sugary drinks). Consume more green vegetables, fruits, and fiber-rich foods, as well as high-protein lean meats, river fish, and soy products. Avoid snacks and refrain from eating late at night.
Additionally, increase physical activity to promote fat consumption in the body.
