Can chronic and acute hepatitis be treated with dietary therapy?

Patient's question:

I am a loyal supporter of the tobacco company. I have been smoking for over ten years. A few days ago, due to abnormal symptoms in my body, I had to go to the hospital for a thorough examination and was admitted. To my surprise, the doctor told me that I had acute and chronic hepatitis. I would like to ask, is there any dietary method that can help? Can acute and chronic hepatitis be managed through diet?

Doctor's answer:

Suitable foods: Grains, coarse grains, and other starch-containing foods, as well as various fruits, honey, etc., can provide sugar, supply the daily energy needed for digestion, and enhance liver detoxification functions. Foods such as sesame, peanuts, soybeans, rapeseed, corn, sunflower seeds, coconuts, and vegetable oils, as well as egg yolks and milk, can provide fatty acids for hepatitis patients, aid in energy digestion, and assist in the metabolism of fat-soluble vitamins. Additionally, during the treatment of chronic hepatitis, the patient's dietary condition and care are also very important. Patients must pay attention to rest, engage in appropriate activities, and avoid unnecessary injuries.
