Patient's question:
I want to ask you a question. I have a friend who is very fat. He gets tired after walking just a few steps. The day before yesterday, he got sick and went to the hospital for a thorough check-up, where he was diagnosed with fatty liver. I'm very worried about him and want to help him. I'd like to know what dietary precautions are needed for fatty liver?Doctor's answer:
Diet for Fatty Liver Patients Individuals with fatty liver should focus on increasing their intake of vegetables and fruits, as they contain vitamins and minerals that can accelerate liver cell repair. The dietary fiber in these foods can also enhance cholesterol metabolism, reduce cholesterol levels, and lower blood lipids. Yogurt, garlic, onions, mushrooms, black fungus, hawthorn, mung beans, and other foods have cholesterol-lowering effects and should be consumed more regularly.Regarding beverages, it is advisable to avoid high-sugar drinks like cola and Sprite and instead opt for green tea or low-sugar kiwi and hawthorn beverages. It is best to avoid alcohol altogether, as it can increase the production of endogenous cholesterol and triglycerides, exacerbate fatty liver, and harm the liver. In reality, having fatty liver is not as frightening as it may seem.
